I have yet to run into a single issue with my wdtv streaming media player. I play all my videos via usb hdd and it’s flawless with everything I’ve thrown at it 
It is disappointing finding a minor update affecting only a specific issue when there are still a lot of unsolved bugs. It would be acceptable having at least a prediction of list of problems to be addressed with the next firmware release. I don’t ask to know the release time, I suggest to give us an idea of the work in progress
I’ve never seen a comapny that promised a firmware on a certain date or with a list of future fixes.
But if you look around on the forum, you’ll see that WD has several people active on this forum and they have suggested the next firmware will be addressing the rebooting, Netflix losing login, and Bad sorting TV shows for starters.
They have also said to expect this update in mid-April so I would say in the next week or so.

Well…
The bottom line here on this update is that the issue was with MLB.TV…
They corrected it and submited it to WDTV to roll out…
WD had very little to do with anything surrounding this update other than making it available…
So… Now… WD… When the heck are you going to roll out new firmware to fix all these major issues??? Why can’t you react as fast as MLB.TV did on their issue?

A new version is expected for mid-April (which means any day now), according to the episode sorting bug discussion, and it is supposed to take care of a few other things.
What could be reasonably expected from a 1.07.15 → 1.07.18 update? It was clear right from the name and the description that the firmware would only address very few things. That doesn’t mean that WD wasn’t already busy working on a 1.08.xx or a 1.09.xx.
The difficult thing with fixing bugs is that a correction can reveal another issue in another part of the code, that didn’t need to be addressed before the other bug was fixed, and the new issue can be actually worse. The MLB problems were however a very delimited part of the firmware and a bugfix could be released as a stopgap measure on a maintainance release.
Lucky I checked this forum. Was going to buy to get Netflix. Looks like WD has lost it’s way - 10 years ago, they were way faster in sorting out bugs.
