I know this is a late response, but yes this remote does work. You have to learn all the buttons though. I had recently bought a Philips universal learning remote for another room, but that wasn't able to learn any of the WDTV buttons. This remote learns it quite easily. It's a great remote, so go for it.

It certainly works with the WDTV Live Plus. I have just programmed all the small control into the RM-VL600. It is perfect.

Actually I learned this the hard way after I bought a 3T Ext Hard Drive and copied all of my 200+ movies over to it. NO, it did NOT work on the TV. The reason isn't the Media Conversion Box,, it is because the "TV's" can't handle over 2T of memory, and when it tries to read your 3T Ext HD thru the Media Conv Box,, it just stops reading it and gives a message on the TV saying it can't read it. After much research I found out it wasn't the Ext HD or the Media Box,, but it was the limited Memory on the TVs.... 2T Ext HD is the MAX the TVs will read.

it connects perfectly,unfortunately it did not work properly,intermittently at best. i solved my problem which seems similar to yours by purchasing the two obsolete dvd players below,either one will work and you can find them on amazon for about the same price as a convertor.they have both HDMI and component (RCA) outputsLG BD530 1080p Network Blu-ray Disc Player orLG BP220 2D Blu-Ray Player with Smart TV (Black)

I had the same problem and couldn't find one less than $35.00. So I bought WD TV WD TV Media Player (WDBYMN0000NBK-HESN) But today you can go for a Amazon TV.

It's not a question of whether DLNA is or is not simplistic. It's a question of whether it works when people use this device, and specifically when people use it with the native capabilities of whatever is hosting or storing the media. Saying what's better sidesteps the issue. It would be better for me to ignore the WD and use a powerful desktop computer attached to my TV instead. Unless you factor in cost. In that case, it's better not to need to find any dedicated server program or anything else that's not included for free.

No, won't work with smart, HD, or any other type of digital TV. It only works with older analog types as there is only two jacks coming from the unit. One is audio and the other video.

I can't say whether this TV model is being fazed out. It will work fine after the switch to digital TV. My guess is that it does not have an HDMI port because there's no reason for it to have one. What would you use the HDMI port for? It already has a DVD player built-in. It's so small you wouldn't want to spend $200+ to connect a Blu-Ray Player to it, or a home theater system. Regular cable doesn't require HDMI (though HD Cable might, but are you going to pay to rent a Digital Cable Box for a tiny TV?).

Thanks, Bishop, for your reply. I liked your last statement (very funny!). A couple of hours after i went out to get this model at Best Buy (i just couldn't wait!), a friend showed me the all-region equivalent (also from Pioneer) featured on this same Amazon site! Well, at least they claim it's all region, but seems some customers have had to get guarantees from the supplier that the unit will indeed play all types of discs. A bit confusing. ;)

I am pretty sure that the WD player I have plays Avi files. WMV files didn't play though. Do a search for a program that converts mp4, mpeg, wmv, etc to avi or a file that you know the WD plays. The conversion programs are generally free. Good luck.

These cables can work with your BD player, but I would recommend using something more suitable for 3D players, because though these cables are ATC certified, which means that they can pass a HD signal up to 1080p, they won't give you great 3D quality. Now for 3D, you need something more like the Mediabridge High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, which supports Ethernet, 3D, and Audio Return.*Compatible with any device that has an HDMI interface including, HD TVs, Blu-ray Players, PS3, XBox 360, Apple TV, Roku Streaming Player, Computer Monitors, Computers, Stereos, etc. They support 3D Technology, 4K, Ethernet Channel, Audio Return Channel, 1440p and 1080p Full HD Resolution; with transfer Rates of At Least 10.2 Gbps / 340 MHz, Increased Refresh Rates, 48-Bit Deep Color, HDCP Compliant, and True HD-Dolby 7.1.

Thanks for your input. I'm test driving both CinemaTube and WDTV HD Live for use with PlayOn. So far, they're both working beautifully. Just got to decide which I like the best and return the other. Thanks again.

I think if it's not a HD player it wont read it. At least that's what the manual says, and other threads that I've read. That goes for DVD's too. If it's not a HD player it won't read it and won't play it. I believe that this unit isn't HD.

I do not own this tv but the product spec PDF on Amazon shows it to be DLNA compliant so you should be able to stream from a DLNA source on the network. Can anyone who owns this confirm?Update: I bought this TV and it DOES have DLNA networking capabilities. Worked very well streaming from a 2TB media server.

Depends more on the brand. I have a 3 TB Western digital my book essential. It seems to support it as it recognizes it over the network. Currently streaming via DLNA is problematic though but that is more of an issue with the firmware than the hard drive. I believe if you google the netgear webpage there is a listing of supported drives.

These are the latest version that WD makes :) I would suggest that you call Western Digital's support line... They are both very helpful and completely knowledgeable about their products...

Yes if your WD HD is connected to the wi fi . If your HD has USB. You can connect that to the WD TV play USB input and it will play from there with out Wi Fi.
