I have a 40" set from Samsung and a Boxee box. But Boxee has decided to cancel that product which I think is a shame, because it has been great to stream downloaded material to my TV.

I've spent some quality time with a 70in Sharp in a family room that is 16x22 feet. It fits the room perfectly. Anything smaller would get lost and make the room feel like a cavern, anything bigger would take over the room. At that size movies are a joy and Kinect gaming a delight. (The house isn't enormous, 2300 square feet, but the floorplan is optimized for the residents' lifestyle and the family room is the focus.) Considering those Sharps can be had for US$2000 (and my first, 37in, HDTV cost me that much) I see plenty of value in the investment. Of course, I also know folks that only watch talking heads on TV and that set would be wasted on them. As with most things, your milleage will vary. Last edited by fjtorres; 01-11-2013 at 05:18 PM. |

I heard they kept the whole body and wired it up so he can chat with Walt.

That's a cunning plan! I'll have to have a go at doing that! You can actually control the streamer from a tablet, can you? May I ask what app you use to do that?

Both serve video and music via our 2 NAS units. Western Digital are always updating firmware to ensure full codec compatibility. Certainly beats having extra HTPC's in the house. Last edited by sabredog; 01-12-2013 at 07:49 PM. Reason: not so good grammar |

I also use Jamcast on my PC which Bubble can also see as a 'device'. This allows me to stream anything playing on the PC to the WDTV box. Ideal for Napster or internet radio or podcasts. Graham |

Not just CODECs, either. A recent firmware update, for example, added support for USB drives >2TB in size. I've been extremely impressed by the number of new features that WD have added to the device via firmware updates since I've bought it. An excellent level of support.
