Initially bought the WDTV Live, but it did not work with my NAS and would not play some media files. The Seagate GoFlex TV just works. The only slight issue was that the WLAN adapter is not sold in the UK. This was easily solved as Seagate sent me information regarding which adapters had been tested by users. Bought one of these and I can now stream wirelessly from my NAS. The internet TV is also great (particularly the ability to watch youtube on the TV) although a little US biased. The addition of UK sites would be welcome, in fact BBC iPlayer would be great.
Despite this just does what I want it to do hence 5 stars.

Despite initial disappointment (see my original review below), this is now my favourite gadget and wherever I go I now happily set up the media player and connect a couple of external USB hard drives to give me an instant movie library on the go. Navigating the media library is like selecting from a file system - no consumer polish there - but it's not a great bother. Very, very satisfied indeed with my purchase and therefore upped my rating by a notch.

I bought a 1TB GoFlex Ultra-Portable drive to slot into my GoFlex TV HD Media Player, which has a slot specifically designed to accommodate these drives, or so the product specs and all blurb I read lead you to believe. Not so!
The ability to slot the drive into the unit was, for me, a big factor in selecting this item (though not an overriding one) and I was disappointed at only finding out after the fact that the 1TB drive *does not* in fact slot into the media player.
The product specs clearly state that the GoFlex ultra-portable drives (irrespective of capacity) are specifically designed to slot into the GoFlex TV HD Media Player, as they form part of the Seagate GoFlex storage system - pah!
Apparently the 500GB drive has a smaller form factor and does fit in ... mind you, even then it still sticks out a bit.
After initial disappointment I guess I'll live with it - the combination of the media player and a high-capacity portable drive is still the main thing, but shame it's left a slightly sour note with me, all the more because I *had* done my research before buying thoroughly. Ah well.

I recently got the product "Seagate GoFlex TV 1080P Media Player".
Pros:
* It serves the purpose.
* Firmware can be updated. Recent firmware supports 3 TB usb drives also.
* Supports USB keyboard.
Cons:
* Not compatible with GoFlex 1TB ultra-portable drive (I bought this drive also.)
* Picasa / Flicker is not having Account Login option to view all albums. Now it shows only public albums.
* Youtube login details are not being saved. Every time, we need to type the password.
* This product supports iPhone remote app. If similar app is available for Android also, then it will reach more users.
* When i see Video/Text RSS feed in the features list, i thought we can subscribe our own RSS feeds. But it list only predefined RSS feeds. I am not able add my own RSS feed.
* When we search videos on Youtube, it is big challenge to type using simple IR remote control. (remote control could have been better (similar to phone keypad to type in English)

Good, but could be improved
My main reasons for buying this was the price (£50 when I bought it), size of the unit and it's support for multiple video formats (especially the DVD .iso format). Read more
