I just bought a WD TV Live and was surprised to find that I could only connect to Utube and flick. It appears to me that I should be able to connect to others but could find no way to do that. I can of course easily connect to my local systems but was not able to figure a way to connect to others on the Internet perhaps there is a way that I did not discover.
Has anyone addressed this issue?
I looked around the forum and did not see anything referring to this subject but I coudl have missed it.

At present you can only connect to:
youtube
Flickr
Live365
Pandora (USA only)
If you want to connect to any internet services you will need to run some sort of server on your PC.
There is a chance that more services will be added to the WDTV Live at a later date (via firmware update)
Would t hat be something like Tversity? As you probably can see I am a newbie at this device and it’s operation. I bought it mainly to stream videos from my computer to my TV in another part of the house and it seems to do that well but than thought perhaps I could use it to watch Internet movies from places like Fancast. Not been able to do that yet. I installed Tversity and added Fancast to the mix but have not been able to connect to it yet.
Thanks for the input. I installed Playon and it works well and is probably worth the price but I have one question: Is there a way to add personal sites to that program? I am a big user of Fancast and I would like to add that and a couple ofthers to the mix. Do you or anyone else know how that is done?

If you look at the link below you will see that a plugin was requested but it seems not to have happened.
Okay thanks to everyone’s help I have it figured out. Using the Playon server I can get about anything I want if I can fine a plugin.
Also there is information on the plugin site for writing my own plugins. I have had programming experience so I can probably manage that at some point but with the existing plugins it will probably be awhile before I get that motivated. Like one said if I have Hulu I don’t need Fancast, etc.
