Overall, the WD TV Live Hub shapes up as a versatile and (with the exception of the problem of accessing network shares) user-friendly media streamer and storage device, both for streaming media to a connected HDTV and serving it throughout the home. ...
Good quality interface: customizable, technically and graphically a success, Easy to create a video or audio jukebox, Good quality Internet services, Multimedia compatability almost every format supported, Network connectivity well handled / Good quality build and design
Video jukebox doesn't work for TV series, Audio tag retrieval from the Internet not working yet, No Picasa, External music album covers not recognised
This is a media centre stuffed with features and with a particularly good interface. With just a little more work from Western when it brings out the updates, it will improve even further. In the meantime, the WD TV Live Hub has the merit of being easy...
The poor documentation and dodgy firmware are only minor blemishes on an otherwise efficient and attractive media player. The AppleTV might still hold the award for best interface, but the Live Hub’s support for a wider range of file formats makes it ...
Great design; stunning user interface; plays almost everything; affordable; doubles as a basic NAS device
Switching between network sources can be slightly confusing

Slim, light, great stand – landscape and portrait, and works with Apple Smart Cover
Expensive and black model shows some grease
Since it's the only affordable streamer that we know of that comes with built in hard drive, the WD TV Live Hub is really a winner right from the start. And heck, who wants to have to attach external storage anyway to a streamer! That is downright inc...
Small compact design, 1TB hard drive included, Beautiful user interface, Easy to use, Plays pretty much any type of media, Included online services
No AV cables included, Weird online service issue on our unit
From all of the media players I have seen in the past year the Western Digital TV Live Hub is one of the best. The first thing that stands out is the user interface. Every other media player we have looked at has some crap basic interface. They are ...
In the beginning Western Digital gave us the WD TV which was a great little media player but required the user to bring their own media and also didn’t support any sort of networking. Western Digital did release several other versions with variety of ...
