The WD TV is a DLNA client like the roku. It converts files on the fly.

Might just take the plunge and buy a used one on ebay.

No one has input?

I have a WD My cloud 2TB and a Vizio M502i-b1. The vizio struggles to play multiple video types and I should have returned it right away but, I didn't. My Samsung plays just about every video file type I throw at it. So rather than converting my mountain of files I am looking at a media...

Currently have a WD My cloud with tons of different types of video formats on it. Looking for a good streaming box for it. Have a 50" Vizio M series that doesn't like and wont play certain file types. My 32" samsung (2yrs old) plays more files than the vizio. Was looking at a WD TV box...

Where exactly in michigan are you?

Already purchased an 850 Evo 120gb last night. Might also purchase a 2nd hdd caddy and ditch my cd drive if needed.

Well the 850 Evo 120gb is only $57 on Amazon. That's a steal so I just might buy 2 of them. One for my laptop and one for the GF's older dell laptop. Both of our laptops have extended batteries and 4gb of ram. Both laptops and the ram upgrades I got for free. As I said both or mainly just web...

Like I said I barely keep anything on it. I mainly us it for web browsing. Right now I am only using 40gb

The Samsung 850 is what I was looking at. Just wanted to make sure that was a quality drive. I will prob just get the 120.

Well the time has come that I am going to try out an ssd for the first time. But not in my desktop. Rather an older hp g62 laptop. Not looking to spend more than $100. Don't need a ton of storage so if I can spend less for a smaller drive that's still good quality and fast that would be...

$2k into a tower with a 17" display? :confused:

well got charter all setup and running today. unfort they were not willing to run another connection to the office without written consent. so i will be using my wifi adapter. however since we have dvr free for 12mo i don't think i will be doing much "large" file transfers to the nas, so its...

New problem. Office room isn't wired for cable and the lease states we must have written approval before modifying/installing wiring. Going to just see if charter will do it seeing as the complex office isn't open on the weekends. I don't think the complex will have a problem with it anyways...

Well nevermind. Just found out about a nice quarterly bonus from work so, I called charter today. Getting internet and tv on sunday. So, hopefully they will be willing to setup the router.

Alright good news. I hope all goes well with the setup. I will give an update this weekend whether I have problems or not.

So I bought this router for our move to the apartment. Problem is we wont be getting cable tv/internet for at least a few weeks. Within that time I would like to setup a LAN to access my wired NAS (WD My book) over the LAN and to my Samsung wifi TV or to the wifi laptops at minimum. Is this...

I have used Rufus before as well. Works great! But lately I have been using Sardu to create a multi-boot usb for diagnostic and OS installations. http://www.sarducd.it/downloads Note: These tools require making .iso backups of said OS disk

I agree with Shane. If you like windows 7 and the layout you likely won't like windows 8.1. Wait for windows 10 (I believe the start menu is coming back). I do run Windows 8.1 but, I have tweaked with multiple tools to my liking. Not worth the hassle though.

I have been using Paragon Hard Disk Manager 15 and love it. I just do full image backups. It does support incremental backups (just backups the changes made). With these full image backups you can mount them to your host OS using drive manager ... to modify or retrieve files. And if you...
