I bought this to replace my old Xbox to watch movies/shows from the computer. I loved that it has a 1TB HD in it so I can have things stored in case I can’t use the computer.
I have tried moving things to the internal drive and the transfer rate is incredibly slow and often crashes. I am currently trying again with a 414MB file and it looks like it is going to take hours. This is wireless and I have tried wired with no better luck.
I bought this on boxing day and unfortunately it was opened (returned) and the last one. Is this a common problem? I am wondering if I have to return it for another…

It is slow- just not THAT slow… It can take up to 5-6 min. to transfer a 500MB movie over my network (gigabit) to the internal drive. Generally, I’d recommend using a NAS such as a My Book Live (or i guess now the MBL Duo) to store data and use the internal hard drive for stuff you watch frequently, or use the internal drive as a backup.
Just bought a WD LTV Live Hub and I agree that it is very painful to move files to the internal drive, especially over the network.
What I have noticed is that it is quicker to synchronize with an external USB drive. When doing so I get speed in the 18-20MB/s which is about 150Mbps and is considered fast.
