Hey, I’ve had my WD Live for about 2 months now and I love it. I just put all of my movies and series on my 1.5TB HDD and plug it in on WD Live and I can watch it instantly. Lately tho, it’s been very slow. It takes him up to 5 minutes to start a video ( I just have a black screen before that ) …

If it does everything you want, there’s no need to upgrade the firmware yet. Something to try (if you haven’t already) is unplugging the WD TV from the power supply and leaving it for 10 minutes. This should empty the cache. See if that helps. If not, perhaps a factory reset may help speed it up…

So I tried unplugging it for some time and resetting it and I still have the same problem…
