My WD TV Live is connected through an HDMI cable to a HD Ready LCD TV. No matter what resolution I configure on my WD TV Live (fw v1.01.24), it produces a 480p signal.
The WD TV Live accepts my configuration and tells me that it is now running in 720p, 1080i or whatever setting i choose. However, my TV always reports that its getting a 480p signal and I can also see from the picture that this is truly the signal it’s getting from the WD TV Live - even when setting 1080p which my TV does not support at all.
Also, WD TV Live menu screens get cropped to only the first 3/4 of the width from the left.
I have tried different cables, different color-depths and modes, but nothing helps.
My TV is capable of displaying HDMI signals up to 1080i which I have confirmed to work well from connecting upscaling DVD players and computers.
I have also successfully tested my WD TV Live with other LCD TVs with no problems.
WD, Is there a fix in the latest fw pre-release or can I expect the problem be corrected in the next offiicial release?
what is also odd, my father has a projector with dvi connections and the wdtv live outputs fine on his display. With your hdmi display not working I’m not sure if it is a dvi specific problem anymore. I really hope they’ll come up with a solution for this. It has been months since the release of this player. I’ve brought up this topic numerous time. Everytime I either gets an answer that it is the dvi connection problem or some other excuse. I just know that if the tech spends some time to solve this problem, it will get done. I have both 1st gen wdtv and the live version. I don’t mind driving down to their tech headquarters and showing them the problem, I bet you it will be solved right there and then. I wish I would get such an invitation :-)
I have a Sharp Aquos 1080p full hd 50Hz connected to wd tv live with hdmi cable 1.3c and it works great, I tested 1.01.24 on live and pre release firmware and it works great. I checked 1st gen too.
I have a same problem. My TV have two hdmi. With first hdmi 480p and no sound. On second hdmi - 1080p and sound. I tested first hdmi with other devices and that is good.
