The WD TV Live Streaming is already superseded by the WD TV. It looks exactly the same apart from not having “Live” on the front and appears to have same functionality as Live apart from Netflix support. I suspect it is exactly the same hardware underneath and was created for licensing reasons. It has the same bugs in the firmware too, but they had an update late last year. We are still awaiting ours.
At some ppooint WD will stop issueing fixes to a dead product. But this has not been confirmed for the Live …yet. I suspect it is only a matter of doing a trivial build from the WD TV firmware code base. If this could be one that just fixes bugs and no new features I would be happy. But if we are left hanging on a slightly brocken last firmware then I think u can justifiably complain to them - as we all are if u fill in the survey. I luv it but with the last firmware I just cannot recomend this to friends as it stands - but as u cant buy the Live and the available WD TV has fixes then point does become moot!
So we are all in limbo until we are told we are dead or given a breath of new life with some new firmware.
As the forums were reorganised and the Live Streamin section remains, I suspect WD still intend to support us at some level. Whether that includes new firmware for us may depend on all sorts of external issues, like paying the external contractors doing the software.
