Since the last firmware update forgets or distorts the WDTV at irregular intervals, the credentials for accessing the network share. It then comes always an indication that the data are incorrect. A re-entry of user name and password fixes the whole thing until the next time. I have since re-entering credentials with the remote control is more than troublesome, now connected a USB keyboard.
Twice it has also happened to me, that the WDTV forgets the login information for the Wi-Fi and is also no longer a WLAN. Here only helps the reset to factory settings. In addition, the WDTV Live forgets constantly the video settings. Sometime I see on the jerky picture reproduction that was again umgeswitcht independently from 60 to 50 Hz.
A Monday model? No, because I have the WDTV sent to believe that perhaps the internal Flash memory has an error on Amazon back. The successor of Amazon had then after the firmware update the same problem. Oh, I run alongside two current WDTV (both having this problem) even one from the previous version. For this there is this update not, and what can I say? There, I've not even these problems.
It's totally a shame that was sloppy here in programming, because basically makes the WDTV exactly what I want. No more and no less. The mentioned in other reviews slow response time to the remote control I can confirm it does not bother me further. I am quite willing to improve my rating again when another update addresses the aforementioned shortcomings. It's really annoying, until 3. Start re-enter the credentials for each 2nd.
Update 4/10/2014: It came out a new firmware update, which really resolves all my criticisms, and brings a new user interface with it. This allows you to decide which applications are stored on a kind of desktop. This can change the default applications such as video or images, but also additional apps like TuneIn and even links to network folders to be. Very practical and unrecognizable and now thoroughly recommended!
