 great price even better soundNov 07, 2009
This maked DVD's obsolete. Great to be able to watch a movie without having to change DVD's . Also, no more DVD storage problems. I have over 400 movied on a 1TB portable drive and I have room for about 500 more. All in a 3"x5"x1/2" box :))
 WD Digital HD Player FairNov 04, 2009
I bought this unit primarily for my young boy who likes to watch his favorite DVD's, but has a tendacy to scratch them up. I wanted him to have access to his shows without applying further damage to his orginal DVD's. This device is easy to use even for a 5 year old if you keep the folders simple and the show labels simple. He can now have access to his shows without me having to replace DVD after DVD. The thing that disappointed me most on the WD was the fact that I wanted a player that supported the wmv format and WD does, but only the low resolutions. From my tests showed anything over 320 resolution for a wmv does not work with the WD player. If you want even a good standard TV resolution 720x480 you will need to record your shows in a format other than wmv; something like the avi format. I can easily use the avi format for the high resolution and get good images on the TV for my boy. The only other thing I did not find helpful is that the player controls can only be accessed thru the remote. This is OK as long as the remote is working and not lost.
 There are too many bugs to make this worth using...Nov 03, 2009
It works good with the following caveats. This is even after I loaded the latest firmware on November 1st 2009.
1) If you lose power in your house and then power returns, the unit powers itself on regardless of the last state.
2) Fast Forward or Rewind has issues, if you FF or REW, the picture becomes choppy and unwatchable. It requires you to stop the movie, go to the main menu, and then hit continue.
3) The usb port always supplies power to my external hard drive or USB stick causing it to get warm even with the unit turned off.
If they fix these bugs, then they would have a decent product. Otherwise, forget about it.
works for my Canon HD camcorder filesNov 03, 2009
plenty of great reviews here at Amazon already. I just wanted to add this player does work with my files downloaded straight from my Canon HD Vixia HF200 video camera to the external hard drive. No need to convert files before playing.
That is something I could not verify before purchase based on the existing reviews but now can verify it for you all based on personal experience.
It Just WorksNov 02, 2009
Finally, something simple that does exactly what it says it does, and does it quite well. I rec'd it from Amazon. I plugged it into my TV. I plugged in my flash drive. I was enjoying my new toy. No instructions needed. No hiccups. No learning curve. Love it!
