giving it a shot, got nothing to lose like you said. Wish I would not have upgraded the firmware since everything seemed to be working but as I had not hooked it up to my TV yet I figured what to I have to lose might as well upgrade the firmware to that latest version before I disconnect from my computer and hook up to the TV.
Ok past the boot up WD screen and its accessing the USB drive and going to the firmware updating page but the progress bar is still stuck at 0%. It appears that the unit just does not want to be upgraded at all. I will try this method with the rolled back firmware version later and see what happens.
thanks for the quick response and suggestion.
