Hi
I was watching a show on ABC iview when my WDTV Live reset itself and has since gone into what I would call and endless boot loop.
it goes to connect to the network, then the screen goes black and it resets.
I haven’t done anything to the unit ever and I can’t see any updates that were meant to occur.
has anyone had anything similar? is there a way to fix it?

I think I found the problem
something has happened to the rear usb port as anything plugged into it causes the problem - the front one is fine.
Try disconnecting it from the network, pull the power plug, wait a minute, then reboot with no network.
Never mind. :)
Are you still having trouble now?
I was watching netflix (In Australia) and it started the reboot loop as well. About the same time as you posted by the looks of it.
Only way I could stop it rebooting was to remove the ethernet cable, which is kind of pointless as now I cant do anything.
Searching online sadly shows that this problem has been occuring on and off for a long time.
Latest firmware is installed.
Well I decided to roll back to firmware version 1.16.13 and at least it now stays online with the ethernet cable plugged in.
will have to see how it goes now I suppose. I still have 39 days of warranty left, so it may still be sent back as an RMA yet.
