yes, I realize you can never assume anything, but I hate to say it, but regular software updates for a new device are pretty much an expectation these days, especially when updates come quite frequently at the beginning and continuously break things. I have never experienced so many significant software screwups on any device I’ve owned. Yes, I like the streaming capability of my WDTV Live, but that’s not going to get me to continue to recommend the device to friends and family. A couple years ago I was recommending it to everyone, but with such a bad update experience, I generally tell people to get another device.
In response to an update expected in February, I’m quite skeptical about that. Haven’t had an update since August and every update since 3 years ago has consistently broken something.
