It also only recognizes 2 video formats.

The WDTV HD Live Plus on the other hand did recognize external drives, was not too bad connecting to network shares and after some fiddling allowed me to access a network shared folder with youtube clips. It has played everything I have thrown at it so far.

WDTV’s interface is pretty horrendous so for the last several days I’ve been using an ASUS Gamer laptop with HDMI out to my TV running boxee. It’s the best overall experience so far.

They aren’t perfect but they do make quality items most the time. I am really glad they took a shot at this. I just don’t see needing a special box hooked up to the TV. I just hooked a PC with a Blue Ray drive to my TV and use it for Netflix (LOVE the online movies!) and Hulu (Have you seen the Good Guys yet?).

Does it do anything else besides act as a browser? You missed a chance to properly highlight all the features and highlights but we just got 5 and a half minutes of web browsing.
