I got one of these (new) from Amazon UK a fortnight ago & am pretty happy with it. In my relative ignorance of its competitors, I'd recommend it.

Just checked Amazon,£72.42 at checkout becomes €96.39, most of the currency converter sites are saying €93.08.

I use unblock-us on my pc and Apple TV and it did work on the WDTV as well. But the newer versions apparently are physically incapable of running Netflix according to the unblock-us support forums.

Sorry, I find this a bit confusing. It's the older models that don't have the chip to allow Netflix. What did you buy and return?

My question was whether the American only restriction on the older boxes would apply to the new American bought boxes.

dabs.ie sent an email out this morning with the item priced @ €73.78

http://www.dabs.ie/products/western-...ayer-7R19.html

I can't recall their delivery charge, but I guess you should add €10 onto the price.

I have one and I couldn't go back to using a DVD\DivX on DVD set up.. everything on memory sticks now.

Great also if you're a household that has a TV from the 90s.. works fine. You just need a SCART adaptor for the Video\Left\Right inputs.

It's not the same model, it's a newer one i think. Not entirely sure what the difference is, other than one is "Live PLUS", and the DABS one is just "Live".
it's all HERE, just didn't make me any wiser really.


DABS one is back up to €98.16 now..
