WD TV Live is the king of networked media players for your HDTV!

Here's how it works:

1. Buy the WD TV Live from Amazon.com.  It's only $119.99!  (...as I'm writing this.)
2. Download a bunch of movies, music, and photos, to one or more networked computers in your home.  (Who are we kidding!  You already have a 1TB drive filled with the stuff—at least!)
3. Connect the WD TV Live to your HDTV using an HDMI cable.
4. Connect the WD TV Live to your home computer network using an ethernet cable.  (Yes, you have to run a cable!  Before you start crying, wi-fi is too slow anyway.)
5. Browse the shared video (movies), audio (music), and image (photos) files on your networked computers and watch/listen on your HDTV in stunning 1080p HD and digital audio!

It's that easy!

Here are the advantages compared to similar devices:

• Low cost!  At $119.99, it's about as cheap as you can get.
• HD picture!  Not only does it play (or up-convert to) 1080p HD video, it's a stunning 1080p picture!  You won't believe your eyes!
• Easy to use!  The attractive user interface makes this devise a joy to operate.
  
• Internet content!  Also connects you across the Internet to YouTube, Pandora, and more!
• Great brand!  I trust Western Digital.  Sure they had a firmware update problem with this device that turned thousands of them into paperweights, but that was before!  And Western Digital gave all the paperweight-owners free exchanges.  I don't think there is a more trusted name in hard drives than Western Digital, so you can't beat the brand.
• Size!  This thing is tiny!  It's about the size of a paperback book.  So it won't take up a lot of space in your entertainment center.
• Remote!  The small remote control is easy to use and works great on your couch!

To summarize, when it comes to connecting your HDTV to the media on your home network and the Internet, I've tried the best devices available, including a Popcorn Hour and a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with HDMI output, and the WD TV Live beats them all in picture quality, price, and easy of use.  What are you waiting for?!?

Verdict: 9.5 out of 10 on the Sasquatch Scale
