Published Jun 5, 2012

Western Digital®, the world’s leader in external storage solutions and maker of the popular WD TV® media player family, today introduced a variety of new entertainment options for the WD TV Live™ and WD TV Live Hub™ media players. Current and new customers can now enjoy Red Bull TV, ABC iView, Acetrax™, Maxdome, Bild.DE and AOL HD. They can also watch live and recorded TV with the new SlingPlayer™ app and save their premium HD movies to the WD TV Live Hub’s internal storage with VUDU™ direct movie downloads.
WD’s new entertainment choices add to the WD TV media player family’s prodigious ability to play personal content such as videos, photos and music by supporting a wide range of media formats. Customers can watch content located on any networked PC or Mac® computer in the home, from a network drive such as WD’s My Book® Live™ personal cloud storage, and from any directly connected digital camcorder, camera, or USB drive. WD TV Live Hub customers can also save and share pictures and videos from outside the home, using the WD Photos app for iPhone, iPad and Android mobile devices.
“WD continuously listens to its customers, and adds the content options they want,” said Khwaja Saifuddin Ahmad, Senior Sales Director, Middle East, Africa & South Asia. “With today’s addition of hot international and domestic channels, live TV through SlingPlayer and direct HD movie downloads through VUDU, to our personal content playback options, the WD TV media players truly provide the most entertainment.”
The WD TV Live Hub is the only media player to offer direct HD movie download service for today’s hottest new movie releases purchased from VUDU’s large library of movies and TV shows. Because it has an integrated 1TB hard drive, the WD TV Live Hub can save and play back purchased digital content from VUDU, including the high-quality HDX™ video format that features 1080p Full HD and rich Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 audio. “By centralizing their entertainment on the WD TV Live Hub, our customers get high-performance full-HD movie playback without overloading their home network or cluttering up the hard drives of other PCs in the house,” added Saifuddin. From “Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol” to “The Muppets,” WD brings today’s top movies to the WD TV Live Hub for a cinema-like experience at home.
The new SlingPlayer app creates a whole home entertainment solution by allowing customers to stream live or recorded TV from a network-connected Slingbox to any other TV in the house, simply by connecting a WD TV Live.
