Re: My Review: Western Dig HD TV

I've discovered a fantastic feature - you can plug in a USB hub to one of the USB ports, and then simply plug in as many USB drives as you want into the hub - each simply sits in an extra folder / layer as seen in the WD HDTV's menu.
Simple, and perhaps obvious, but good to know that this works. Since i now have 2 x 1TB drives under my TV i was worried that these would get full and i'd be stuck for further additions... well not now

I'll also add that in the 6 months now that i've owned it, there have been 2 firmware upgrades (nice to know that WD are still supporting the device), the best extra feature is that when the device is turned off it stops polling the external drives, hence allowing them to power down too. Nice!

System as shown, plus: Akasa 965 HSF. Griffin Powermate that pulsates blue! Solid oak computer desk.
Diamondback Razor. Logitech media keyboard. Western Dig HD Media Player. An AC-S1 R2 on the 3870. Netgear DG834N router. Acer Aspire One netbook.
Creative I-Trigue 3450 driven by an Audigy 2. External 160GB and 500GB hard drives. 1 happy me. 1 not so happy me's wife.
