Bought mine a few weeks ago at Memory Express, 180 buks in Canada. Didn’t seem to be a supply probem, but I didn’t hang around to ask. Local stores… find one close… go pick it up.
Nahhhh. Dropdown box shows Vacouver has 3 Winnepeg has 6 Pretty sure they ship, too.
Online inventory numbers a often wrong. Call the store and get the up to date inventory. Ask someone to LOOK.

Well, I think we can put this question to rest.
The Hub no longer appears on WD’s main web site:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/homeentertainment/mediaplayers/
So it’s been discontinued.

I am saddened to know that future WDers will never know the greatness of having an internal drive in their media player.
I’m hoping they took it down for a new version of the player some where down the road
Absolutely, the hub is an underpowered device and is in bad need of a refresh. The darn thing is 4 years old so let’s get with it and give us an updated Live Hub 2. So much has changed in chipsets and performance since the hub was released it’s like night and day. Anything new should be fantastic, looking forward to having a fast modern-day device.
Yeah and lets get away from that naming convention (WDTV LIVE XXX). Try something less confusing for your customers like “The WD Stream Machine HD” or “WD Vision HD” or The WD Androvision HD" (Hoping for Andoid). Anything else the consumer needs to know about it can go on the box it’s packaged in!

Well, not quite, but close… It released in October of 2010. But the point’s still valid. Three years is pretty long-in-the-tooth for any media player…
*IF* there is a new player, I doubt it’ll be any “faster”, as with more capabilities, they would probably cram a lot more stuff in it to slow it down. :laughing:
Well, WD better pick up their game and start making Media Players with Dual / Quad Core Processors as most modern devices feature this. (eg. Smart Phones, Tablets, Ouya, MX2 Midnight etc etc)
