I have football games stored on a WD My Book Live that is wired into my home wireless network. Can I use this to stream them to an HDTV?

I use Plex media server on my PC to stream video to my roku (also add the Plex channel on your roku)

This will only stream digital media stored on storage that can be plugged in via USB or a compatible SD card. DVD's are optical and output the decoded video digitally via HDMI, they are not compatible. Sorry. The DVD could be decrypted and stored digitally on a USB stick that the media-share device could stream, but I'm guessing this is not what you require.

I have only streamed from an attached external hard drive. This works just fine.

Yes you can if it connects by USB. You can also connect over a network if the drive is shared and skip the wires.

Its fast and easy to play content from an external HDD with the WD TV Live. I've other issues with it but if this is your purpose to have one: yes, it's a good equipment using a USB 3.0 connection. I did not use no USB 2.0 external HDD, then, for this I can't help you.

No, you cannot in the way you probably mean. You could watch movies on Netflix or other apps on the smart tv but not from a blu ray disc and you wouldn't need this player. Relatively rare and expensive products can transmit hdmi signals wirelessly, but it cannot be done over standard WiFi. There is far too much data after it has been decompressed by the blu ray player.Why do you want to do this? A low profile active hdmi cable may be the best solution for you. This is one of the smaller players out there so maybe you can find a spot near the tv and use a small hdmi cable.

You cannot.You will need to add a Netflix capable device [Xbox360, BlueRay DVD player--i.e. from LG BD 590 or 570, etc]. You can wireless stream to the device and have the device cabled to the TV via one of the 3 HDMI ports. Works great [I use the LG BD590, but the 570 has the same capability:Netflix, Vudu, etc]. There are cheaper alternatives.

Only if everything is High Def. I have HD cable in my home but whenever pulled up the onscreen TV guide there was a momentary 480p signal and this would cause the IOGear GW3DHD to act up (no or intermittent picture). The only way I could fix this was to unplug both the transmitter and receiver so that they would "recycle". Caution using this equipment.

Not that I know of. There is the wireless network capability or you could use the cat-5 network cable plug in on the back but your hard drive would have to have it's own operating system similar to a Micca EP100 1080P Full-HD Digital Media Player for example.

Thank you. But if I did have a cable box this would work for live tv? Football season is just around the corner. Thank you again

I've never tried doing this, but I don't see why not. Although I would've said the same for WD Livewire. I'd contact Linksys customer service.

Don't believe so. My computer has WiDi which was supposed to provide the interface between my laptop and the WD Push2TV. Could not get anything but sound (no video) and Western Digital could not help. Need up with an AppleTV device that was a plug and play (minor setup only) and it works great (my laptop is a PC). I have iToons on my computer.

You will not be able to stream HD at that speed. If you are streaming HD then you were incorrect about your speed.See my guide for further details about speed requirements for various streams.

I believe it will require an adapter that allows you to do so. Other wise you will need an Ethernet cable to connect to the online apps and other network servers for media.

Yes! You can use a 2 TB Hard Drive. I was advised by tech support that 2 TB is the max at this time. Be aware that it will slow your receiver down. No problems with quality or picture. However, there is a double to triple time delay when I am searching through guide or changing channels on my Directv DVR HD Model 24, 500 GB, Internal Hard Drive. That is not a problem for me. It is worth it for the extra space. I record a lot of football games on the football ticket. This way my wife's shows do not get deleted.

Yes it can bitstream all HD audio formats over HDMI to a receiver (This was the main reason I bought it). I stream all my content from a NAS including BD rips and mkvs so there is no issue there.

Short answer, yes.That's actually what it's made for and works great. You may also love the DLNA option as well if you have digital media you wish to share over your network.Movies and music can stream strait to your smart TV or any DLNA compatible media player from the NAS.If you have an Android device and plan on storing digital movies on this for network streaming, check out "media house pro"Great combo
