WD TV Media Players Deliver More Entertainment Options
Western Digital today introduced a new entertainment
options for its WD TV Live and WD TV Live Hub media
players.
Current and new users can now enjoy Red Bull TV, ABC
iview (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), Acetrax,
Maxdome, the BILD TV-App, and the AOL On Network. They
can also watch live and recorded TV with the new
SlingPlayer app and save their premium HD movies to the
WD TV Live Hub's internal storage with VUDU.
WD's new entertainment choices add to the WD TV media player family's ability to play personal content such as videos, photos and music by supporting a wide range of media formats. Users can watch content located on any networked PC or Mac computer in the home, from a network drive and from any directly connected digital camcorder, camera, or USB drive. WD TV Live Hub owners can also save and share pictures and videos from outside the home, using the WD Photos app for iPhone, iPad and Android mobile devices.
The WD TV Live Hub is the only media player to offer direct HD movie download service for new movie releases purchased from VUDU's large library of movies and TV shows. VUDU is a subscription-free, HD video streaming service, which offers more than 70,000 blockbuster titles including new releases, Hollywood classics, independent films, and TV shows. Because it has an integrated 1TB hard drive, the WD TV Live Hub can save and play back purchased digital content from VUDU, including the high-quality HDX video format that features 1080p Full HD and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 audio.
