What does the wdtv live do that the wdtv play doesn't then? Seeing as the play is a good 20 - 30 quid cheaper
"Coming in $30 less than the WD TV Live, you may wonder what compromises WD has had to do to keep it at that price. According to the Play’s specifications, it won’t play MPEG, MPEG1, MPEG2, MPG files, output DTS audio nor will it be able to output content to other DLNA devices via multi-room streaming."

Thanx Nara
No dts, no deal for me, lots of my mkv's are encoded with dts audio.
I have to completely agree with James here, its a deal breaker to be fair.
hmmmm , back to the drawing board lol.
Well spotted Nara!

Im running a Raspberry PI mate 512mb version and yes its just a board, all you need is a wireless keyboard and mouse or like me buy a MCE remote and IR and put the PLI in a clear case.. The images are stored on a sd card great for switching between image.
Im running OpenELEC with fusion install and as I had a Apple TV2 I can only say I was impressed to the point I sold the Apple TV2 as it has a higher value and stuck with the PI.
Great little gizmo

How much you looking to spend mick? The wdtv lives seem to vary in price, I paid about 65 quid for mine on eBay

I do not mind to be honest wanted to keep it below £80 or arounds that mark...
I was hoping cheaper to be honest, as its just for a very small holiday home chalet for my parents, I am putting a wii for them as well.
