I have a WD TV live and I’m verry happy with it. Works wonderfull and all my HD material is played flawless over the netwerk so keep up the good work!
BUT… for some strange reason the toslink light is always on, also when the device is off… Because I’ve got only 1 toslink on my amp I need a splitter to also connect my Xbox360.
Today I was testing but My Xbox did not gave me any sound. When I looked into the situation I discoverd that the toslink of the WD is always on!!! That scrambles the signal of the Xbox on the same time so no sound is sent further than the splitter.
Why is de Optical always on ??? (The xbox / minidisc / dvd are always off when the device is off)
Can I change that of can you guys put it in a Firmware update?
NOTE:
When pulling the powerplug and put the device back on the Optical light is out for 10 / 15 seconds. After that the light comes up to never go out anymore…
Actually I think as long as the WDTV Live is connected to power, the entire system is still running internally, its just not displaying anything on screen.
Someone did a test before I can’t remember where I saw it, but the power consuption remains roughly the same whether the WDTV is on or ‘off’.
Yes, I have seen on the other non english forum that somebody measured the power consumption and the results are: 11W during the playback, 9W when wd is on but idle, and 8W when it is turned off with remote.
Edit: I have just found that post, the guy said that thees are result when he had no usb drives atached, the playback was through lan connecion.
