I have found my Live+ to be extremely stable, and actually the most stable of all the WD devices I own. I have just attibuted this to having a small feature set and basic UI so less things that can go wrong. I have no local disks attached so connect via network share to access my personal media, and over the media server option to get to PlayOn. It’s been a workhorse that has been on essentially for 3+ years straight, and has worked flawlessly. Issues seem to often be caused by other network problems, and video that are encoded incorrectly.
…because, quite often, people who demand WD fix something later discover the issue is in their own environment after other people’s experiences and commentary coax them into looking in a different direction.

That’s a great answer Tony. Often people dont realize that since we all have deifferent network environments, a post that says that something does work, is often more important to your troubleshooting than one that confirms your issue.
There are other people in this thread having the same type of problem. If you are not experiencing these problems then posting so is completely useless and unhelpful to the rest of the people here. In fact it’s worse than that. It’s borderline trolling. We are glad you are not having problems. Move on. You are not providing any value.

Your comments above are totally out of line. Since this is only your 10th post at the WD forum, you know basically nothing about how things work around here. For one thing, smart alecks are not tolerated. Also, most of the people responding here, and whom you are chastising, are some of the most knowledgeable and helpful people in these forums.
So Pal, here is a word of advice to a newbee here: Sit down, clam up, and just pay attention for now – and resist being a smart aleck. And be nice! If you don’t, you risk being banned from the forums. Moderators are watching us.

You must have missed the “community” part of “WD Community”. Your perception of the value of another members post is not not relevant here. When folks are having issues, most of us (apparently not you) want to hear if others are not. It is helpful in troubleshooting the problem. You are more than welcome not to read those posts. One would think that those of us who are successfully running the devices probably have a good Idea on how to use them in a way that keeps them working.
Sorry to hear your 5 WD boxes don’t work, I am sure it’s frustrating. Perhaps some of us here with working setups can help you out if you provide enough details on your setup, especially since I would not hold my breath waiting for new FW on the Live or Live+ at this point in their life cycles.
As for your anger an aggression issues, they are probably best worked out in a different community than this.
