I tested 8 multimedia hard drives, all brands, WD TV Livehub is clearly the best multimedia hard drive market. The number of codecs / formats supported is impressive, advanced features (subtitles, fast forward / backward, information on the films / series, etc.) are well done, applications (youtube / facebook / picasa / tumblr etc) really effective , streaming from PC without problems (even large files in 1080p mkv), provided you have a quality CPL, brief happiness! the only downside is the inability to directly transfer from PC via USB. To transfer, you either go through the network (much slower than the USB3), or synchronize from the USB key or external hard drive. Apart from that, you can buy with confidence! Note the regular updating firmware to mandatory during setup to have the latest features and bug fixes.
