Western Digital WDTV Live Hub Review

Western Digital has become a noted player in the media streamer market over the last two years. Instead of resting on the laurels received for the WDTV, they have continued to introduce new products periodically. Their flagship product lineup started with the WDTV. Introduced in November 2008, it used Sigma Designs 8635. The second generation (2G) product (WDTV Live) added a 100 Mbps wired ethernet port. It used the next generation Sigma chipset, SMP 8655. By then, Netflix became an indispensable requirement for media streamers in the US market. This led WD to introduce the WDTV Live Plus, a 2.5G product which used the Macrovision enabled SMP 8654. Today, Western Digital is introducing their 3G flagship product, the WDTV Live Hub.

We were fortunate enough to gain early access to the WDTV Live Hub (only after it was leaked in Canada by Best Buy, though). WD claims that the 3G product takes all the features from their previous flagship products, and adds a host of attractive features at a price point of just US $199.99. How effective are these new features, and more importantly, are they worth the additional cost? Read on for our review of the WDTV Live Hub.
