Western Digital WD Live Hub Media Center

WD TV Live Hub Media Center

Western Digital seems to have mastered the art of making a perfectly balanced HD media player. The first generation WD TV HD media player (with the glossy black finish) introduced us to a new category of home entertainment devices. The WD Live, which was the upgraded version, came with network capabilities, ability to access media servers and access to services like YouTube, Picasa and Live365 etc. All this while offering the same superb video playback quality, upscaled to Full HD resolutions. A lot of rival products also flooded the market, offering comparable features at competitive prices. However, the WD products remained just that much better. It is true that I run the risk of sounding like a WD fanboy, but the fact is that the WD TV media player range offers a perfect blend of performance, quality and the value for money factor. The latest media player to arrive is the WD TV Live Hub Media Center. To put it simply, WD took the Live HD media player, and made it a lot better. Let us find out how good this one actually is.
