Yes, with built-in WiFi.

yung akin parating na... now the question is.. should i get a drobo?

barrister · « **Reply #4 on:** Dec 22, 2011 at 10:55 AM »

Ayus!

Ang WD TV naman ay pang simpleng gamit lang. Marami pa ring kulang yan.

Kung talagang tipong kuya streetsmart ang user, dapat full-featured box na, like Egreat.

happy nga ako sa wdtv live ko e, although di ko ginagamit ang network tools nya...

naintriga ako dito sa bago, bagong UI bago lahat.. ang malungkot lang dito is di ata sya pwendeng naka vertical.. pero magagawan naman yan ng paraan

and yung wifi malaking bagay sa akin.. baka di ko na kelanganin ang computer ko at ililipat ko na sya at may bago na syang duties and responsibilities...

I am a new owner of this model as well.

upgraded from Gen 1
it arrived yesterday.

a bluetooth keyboard would be useful for the network services. hirap magtype using the remote.

it has bluetooth? nice!!

kawboy · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 22, 2011 at 11:46 AM »

oh sorry, no.
I mean, instead of using a usb keyboard,
a bluetooth keyboard would be more apt.

I think it is one of the use of the usb slot in front.

Waxx · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 22, 2011 at 11:48 AM »

i wonder.. would i wireless keyboard work kaya.. hmmmmm

kawboy · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 22, 2011 at 11:54 AM »

I read online that it does.

kasi mahirap mag search sa youtube or facebook if you are going to type using the remote.

unless.... wdtv upgrades their app para may keyboard interface. now that would be cool!

Waxx · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 22, 2011 at 12:10 PM »

or maybe if the ios app will work with an ipad and use the ipad as a keyboard.. e di panalo...

kawboy · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 22, 2011 at 12:24 PM »

I spoke too soon! I just finished downloading the app.
It does have a built in keyboard!!!! what a pleasant surprise.

Waxx · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 22, 2011 at 12:28 PM »

sa ipad o iphone/itouch nyo download?

May keyboard nga yan. Very useful, kasi easier to use than the real remote.

Ang nagustuhan ko, yung volume control ng remote app. Wala kasing volume control sa tunay na remote e.

Sa WD, ang sites na may app lang ang puwedeng ibrowse. Pag walang app, hindi mo mapupuntahan. Mahirap din gamitin, yung facebook pumapalya minsan.

Iba pa rin ang tunay na PC.

Palagi namang ganon, di ba? Yung mga bagong TV daw, may media player na via USB-in, baka hindi na kailangan ng standalone media player. Pag nabuwisit siya sa dami ng mga ayaw mag-play sa built-in player ng TV, bibili rin ng media player yan ...

Ang silbi ng WiFi sa akin, yung Shoutcast internet radio, and the option to wirelessly transfer the media file from PC to the WD's HD storage. Mababaw lang naman ang kaligayahan ko ...

Yes, the app works with my iPad 2. Kaya lang, portrait view lang, ayaw mag horizontal view. Pero puwede namang mag 2x zoom.

Nice! Simpleng kulam ito ah...

Ayos na ayos yan sir. Cheap lang naman, di ba?

Tamang-tama sa Christmas & New Year, para may bagong kinakalikot during the holidays ...

question lang mga ser..
i've read in many forums na you may change/edit this player's GUI -- specifically how the covers of movies and music albums are shown. parang nagiging "cover flow" ng apple, actually even better since may option where it will show the synopsis and the artists ng movies. there are instructions and programs in the net kung pano ito gawin, but really "techie" na for most people like me. is there a shop who can do this?

just got my wdtv last night. sir the artwork is pretty basic. may auto download sya wherein the unit will do all the searching and dl of covers

roygee · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 28, 2011 at 09:38 AM »

Hi Wax,

Stock GUI is pretty basic and simple, though you may customize it further. I listed below one (of plenty) site I saw, wherein you may fully customize its GUI. Ang ganda lang kasi talaga -- though quite complicated gawin.
Check it out, just click on the "screenshot" button to see different layouts you can customize WD's GUI's

Ang gwapo...

wala syang lagayan ng HD katulad nung mga Egreat na parang casette tape? Thanks.

nice,

i like the bigger remote & sleeker looking unit..

as for the UI, i'm still happy with my Moviesheet in wdtv live.

Saan available ito locally mga sir?

barrister · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 07, 2012 at 12:17 PM »

Mahirap pa hanapin ang model na to sir, bago kasi.

But I got mine at Abacus (724 2908; 727 3172) at Greenhills V-Mall.
