    Can anyone confirm that these are the same as the WD TV Live Streaming? I can't seem to find any reference to Plus at Australian retailers but they seem to look the same as the Streaming and have a similar feature list.

    Any info appreciated

    Delete Boxee off the list, new firmware update took care of it, automatically updates after a reset and locks itself off Netflix.

    Point being i use Uno in the units, not in the modem, so the moment you go to reconfigure after a reset the unit wants to update before you get a chance to put the details for Uno in.

    Only way around it ive read is to instal a older firmware Via USB and stop access to automatic updates via blocking a few sites though the modem that it uses for updates.

    My WD is fine, all working.....not happy Jan with the Boxee, loved they way the unit worked when it was working.

    Point being for me i cannot get into my modem (to my knowledge) easily.

    Ive been relying on Units that i can put my DNS into, Boxee took away that ability now, might spend some more time investigating my modem, its a Telstra Supplied Technicolor TG582N.

    the sony blu ray players work quite well on netflix etc.

    you need to add the dns settings before plugging in network cable.

    then do a firmware upgrade from the sony USA site.

    My Boxee is working again, solution was to instal a modem that can take the Uno telly DNS settings.

    WD live TV did not need this as it can take the settings in the unit, everything is working again.

    Nowadays most devices will support Netflix... most Android boxes on ebay will do NF at 480p some at 1080p but only fully NF certified will do UHD 4k which I consider important as the 4K content increases and good NBN connectivity become more available.

    • Apple TV 4K
    • Xbox One X
    • PS4 Pro
    • Now TV 4K Smart Box
    • Nvidia Shield
    • Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
    • Xfinity
    • Virgin
    • Chromecast Ultra
    • Xiaomi's Mi Box
