Do you get any errors? have you unpluged both the WD TV and USB drive and try again?

I’d bet that it’s the .mkv issue.

Unplug your Gen1 for a while, and then do the paperclip reset on the side when you plug it back in.  YOu might also want to delete the .wd_tv folder’s contents.

…YOu might also want to delete the .wd\_tv folder's contents.

thanks for the replys, is this folder on the useb hard drive i have plugged into it, or in the unit its self?

tried the usb stick firmware upgrade as described on here; http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/?family=wdfwdtv_live

but my device does NOT have a firmware icon in the settings menu?

have order a usb lead so will try it connected live to the internet when that arrives.

.wd_tv folder contents deleted?..and unit unplugged from mains over night, as power re-applied reset done.

…started to play 1 .avi file then frooze, going back to menu and choosing another file to play, back to normal with warning that file not supported!

…its pissing me off now!

is it a problem on/with unit?..OR…on the 1TB usb drive?
