The first thing you think when you see WD TV in offline – is how small and beautiful it is :). Size and design are superb indeed, very minimalistic but stylish. The thing suits every TV whatever it’s black or white and can be placed in every small space you have. It’s amazing how all other devices near my TV immediately began to suck when I’ve put that small little box near them :).

So what can WD TV do for you?

1. It can play almost every video file you’ve downloaded (or bought :P). HD and Full HD videos play without any problems. This is that people are buying it for.
2. Connect 2 USB devices at once. I myself have a 2,5″ HDD attached to the back USB port with some HD content and usual USB flash drive goes to the side, if I need to play something that isn’t on drive.
3. With an unofficial firmware WD TV can play videos via Ethernet and DVD and execute some other Linux stuff, but who needs that?
4. It can play a lot of other stuff like MP3′s and photos, but it’s rather pointless to me.

What can be better in WD TV?

1. Make it a bit unsexier and insert a 2,5″ HDD bay inside. Or SSD, if it’d be cheap :).
2. WD TV does not play DTS or any other 5.1 sound, it simply downgrades the signal to pure stereo 2.0. It is not directly a con, if you have an audio receiver, but it could be somehow solved in the next edition :).
3. Internet via WiFi can be very cool. I know it’s already been done in WD TV Live (it seems rather pointless to me now, cause it doesn’t have internal WiFi), but I’d like to have it in WD TV too (it will be done in the near future in one of the unofficial firmwares).

Size compasions – WD TV is really really small. Surely WD TV Mini is even smaller, but it’s only 720p, no Full HD there whatsoever.
