Just picked up a WD TV Live and am super impressed. The interface is nice and clean, wifi works great, and it seems to play anything. By far the best streaming device I've used so far--really the only improvements would be to add Amazon Video and a disc drive to play physical blu-rays/DVDs.

Can somebody with the newer WD TV describe the UI, particularly networked content? Is it just a list of your file names?

There are a few options--you can get a list of file names, a grid of thumbnails (reading the folder.jpg in each folder), or a bigger gallery view. I'm actually pretty happy with the interface.

Anyone else have problems with Netflix on it? Every so often, it claims my account is deactivated, forcing me to veeeeeeeeery slowly enter in my info again (why the hell the UI is so unresponsive, anywaY?). I figure it might actually be my netflix account, since it stopped claiming I had any devices registered months back....

Yeah same thing happens to me periodically, probably some bug.
