When can we expect a firmware update for the WDTV Live that has the Mochi interface as supported by the WD TV Live Hub?
As we all know the interface for the WDTV Live is severely out of date and is in dire need of an update (i.e a polite way of saying its seriously lame and has put me and MANY people I know off using & purchasing this unit for the purpose it was desingned for.
Don’t hold your breath…
There’s a fairly long list of functionality bugs that need to be addressed before WD would even consider trying to make the Live/+ look prettier.
Create a thread in the Ideas forum requesting it if you want it. That’s the correct forum for requesting new features and submitting ideas.
What makes you think they’ll address the functionality bugs before the cosmetic upgrades? Pretty sells and can be handed off to jr programmers. Its entirely possible that WD doesn’t have the talent inhouse currently to fix the overload of functionality bugs and issues– not without breaking something else even more seriously. Fact is the easy bugs are getting fixed, the serious ones seem to be getting ignored.

If they were going to do that, it would have made sense to include the new interface in the 1.04.10 update - after all, that would have got it out there in time for Chrstmas.
I think they’re swamped. I don’t think they’ve devoted adequate serious programmers to this product, probably thinking it would be a stable hit by now.
