Looks good as a media player though. Have installed the zappo app so you can stream content from my phone which works well
I like The Following, though it seemed to get mixed comments. I'm currently watching season 2 episodes weekly via Hulu, which Unblockus gives you access to. They only keep 5 previous episodes, so the earliest one they still have of season 2 is episode 2.

Many people use the WD box for streaming ripped DVDs and as far as I know it's quite good at it; I prefer to use the My Movies add on for Windows Media Centre on my media PCs for that, so haven't experimented with that aspect of it. I used to stream Netflix via the PC, which only gives you 720p and stereo on a Win7 PC so wanted a cheap way to get 1080p and 5.1 and at the time I bought, the WD box was the cheapest way to do it. I only learned after buying it of the advantages it had over other options, especially the 1080p/24 setting that much of US Netflix is encoded in.
