You can also connect to the WDTV Live from a web browser by going to it’s IP address.
So on your computer or phone, go to http://its.ip.address.here (for me it is http://192.168.1.140))
Then login (default password is admin)
Then click on Remote, it will show a pic of the Remote and at the top there is a Submit button
You can type what you want to search for in there.
So on my WDTV Live I l opened You type and went to search, then it brought up the alph numeric pad on the screen…then on my PC I type in what I wanted to search for, clicked submit, and within 2 seconds, it did the search.
