In this article I’ll be discussing the Western Digital Live TV, which is a media player that articulations to your HD TV and allows you to play HD content in either 720p or 1080p resolutions.
The source matter you’ll notice about the HD internet TV Live is its size, it’s tiny. You wouldn’t think such a small device could pack such a big punch, but it does. The player comes with a abstracted control, and its necessity batteries, and also its power adapter. Unfortunately a HD cable isn’t provided, so you’ll have to source this elsewhere.
Once you’ve connected the device, and turned it on, you’ll notice a baby blue light on the front of the player to signify that it’s on. When you change your TV’s channel to the player’s channel, you’ll then notice the HD TV Live’s boot up try out. This is exhibited for roughly a few seconds, and it then changes to the main menu, where you can pick out from a host of options which include, goggle box, music, photographs and scopes. The setting’s option allows you to customise your player experience, allowing you to change how files and folder are displayed, how and if your HD TV will connect to a World Wide Web, the language survival etc.
This is how mine is currently setup, and it works faultlessly, no skipping, pausing, just a smooth playback. I’ve also time-tested playing videos and music via a USB stick or an external hard drive, and this also worked perfectly. There is also the option of connecting the device to your network via a receiving set USB stick, but only some USB sticks are compatible, so you’ll need to have a look at the product’s home page on the manufacturer’s website to ensure it’ll work good.
HD movies are displayed attractively on the HD TV live media player, and you have a range of options during playback. You can choose whether to display the films built in subtitles, and if so, what language. You can pause the film at any moment, fast forward or rewind in single mode, x2, x4, x8 or x16, and you also have the option of skipping forrard or backwards in 10 minute intervals.
The HD online TV media player is a fantastic device which has worked faultlessly for me in my 6 months of ownership. It’s a perfect device for those who wish to add to their home theatre, and due to its size and slickness appearance, it’s sure to look the part as well.
