I currently have a WD TV Live connected to my Broadband router and to a television via HDMI. I copy media files from my computer over the network to the drive attached to the WD TV Live.

If I purchased another WD TV Live for another room and attached a wifi dongle, could I access files on the drive attached to the other WD? i.e. would this be the same as a NAS setup? (Not an expert at these things)

thanks.

Yep, it can work as network attached storage and serve files on the USB HDD to another WDTV Live or any device on your network.

You won't get good speeds wirelessly though, so just check that the speed will be enough for your content.
