My WD Live TV plus is now redundant with most encoders now using HEVC

So the question to you WD folk is should I wait for you to release a device that supports HEVC or should I just buy the Himedia Q10 IV that gives me this support now?

I’ve had 5 years of wonderful use from this device but I can’t wait for you guys forever. What’s happening ??

You shouldn’t wait. However, since HEVC will take quite some time to mature I don’t see no reason to upgrade anytime soon.

There is a need to upgrade now. Most of the stuff on the torrents is already HEVC.

Really? Name one. I find that hard to believe given how long it’s taken the scene to even move to h.264.

I am also having the same problem. Just wondering when WD is going to release a new firmware for Live TV Plus.

You’re kidding, right?
