Full FeedUpdated Western Digital WD TV Live Media Player sneaks into Best Buy
Much like when the original Western Digital WD TV Media Player was released last November, the new and updated version has also quietly slipped into Best Buy. The updated model has been dubbed the WD TV Live Media Player and is now priced 10 bucks less than the original at $119.99.
In terms of features, the WD TV Live Media Player will allow you to hook it up to a computer or external hard drive and view stored videos or images as well as play music files on your HDTV. Additionally you can also connect to online sites such as YouTube, Flickr and Pandora.
The WD TV Live Media Player ships with a compact remote and the necessary cables to include a composite AV cable, component AV cable and AC adapter.
In terms of support, the WD TV Live Media Player offers Dolby Digital and DTS decoders, supports 1080p displays, has USB 2.0, HDMI and a standard Ethernet jack for connectivity.
All things considered this looks like a nice option for those looking to be able to get content from a PC to a big screen. Of course, the critics will likely point out the lack of wireless connectivity and Netflix, that said you can always check out the Roku set-top box if that is what you are looking for.

This is kind of strange, considering how many people are waiting for this thing to be released. I don’t know why WD doesn’t just announce this. A lot of people are looking forward to being able to order it. I got ordered mine online and got it today at the store! Users have been asking for Ethernet and DTS downmixing since the WDTV first came out.
