Differences between the WD TV Live, the WD TV Live Plus, and the WD TV Live Streaming

Agree, an (old-style) Live or Live Plus new for sale today is aimed at the “unsuspecting” buyer in most cases.  If you are in market for a new unit, the Live Streaming (aka SMP) or Live Hub are your total choices.

There ARE cases where people actually want an older unit.  Maybe they find a “cherry” used one for much less.  I did, when I wanted to add another Live Plus for a second TV.  Even if an SMP is under $100 at Best Buy or mail order, a nice Live Plus with all parts included can be found for about half.  Since I knew what I was looking for (including ALL the parts,) I found a nice Plus at eBay a few months back for lots less than a new SMP. but ya gotta know why you are buying a Live Plus today.
