Can't get a £ pound sign symbol in UK WD Live TV device please help

Hi I hope you can please help. A password for one of my Samba Shares has a £ sign symbol in it but I can’t access the share on the WD TV Live box as the onscreen keyboard only has a dollar sign and not a UK pound sign.

I tried plugging a USB keyboard in but it didn’t work. Can you please add this to the next firmware update or advise on how I can get a Pound sign please?

It’s not convenient to change the samba password as a lot of other devices also use it! Also I live in the UK and bought this in the UK so I would of thought there would be more use for the £ or even the Euro sign in this region than the dollar sign which I don’t have a use for… Thanks for any help on this.

Hello,

Sorry to hear that.

Try using a different keyboard to see if you can get that.

Regarding a new firmware, I don’t have any information as to when a new FW will be coming out.

Hi thanks, I don’t have another USB keyboard but I will see if I can borrow
one. Does the ‘WD Tive Live Streaming Player’ actually support USB
keyboards though or is it just other models?
