The WD TV Play offers an improved interface and a greater selection of content than before. Setup is easy and the connection stayed solid during testing. The WD TV Play is one of the best values available in the market
Missing some important apps, including Amazon Instant and live sports apps. The device couldn't playback all test videos despite listed compatibility. The gaming apps aren't very worthwhile
The WD TV Play is the best alternative to Roku and Apple TV for viewers looking to access their personal media collection.

Very small, Built-in Wi-Fi, Dedicated buttons for popular video services
Dull, washed-out video, Doesn't support USB keyboards, Directory listings don't display file types or dates
We suppose $70 is the right price for the WD TV Play, since it delivers 1080p video resolution plus the USB and Ethernet ports that the Roku 2 lacks for $10 less (Roku has two players with even lower price tags, but they're both limited to 720p and are ...
The WD TV Play has a low price for a DLNA-compatible wireless box with access to a range of video on-demand and other streaming services. Although its interface is attractive and versatile, its flakiness when streaming online services and limited codec s...

Tiny, lower power use, cheap, great picture quality, good range of useful apps, USB input, built-in wireless, plays pretty much everything
A bit slow to navigate menus, bug sometimes crashes device and needs restart to recover
When the WD TV Play arrived, we didn't really know what it was going to do better than any other device. In fact, it turned out to be better than almost anything else we've used as a media player. It didn't encounter files it couldn't play via DLNA...
affordable, easy to use media player with good range of online services
doesn’t work with iTunes, no internal storage
If you simply want to stream your iTunes music and video onto your TV, then the AppleTV is still the best option. However, the WD TV Play provides access to a wider range of online services, so it's the better option for people who want to connect their T...

Low price, Decent mix of online and network streaming, Customisable interface
Flaky on, demand streaming, Limited codec support, Poor quality remote

Attractive, intuitive UI, Wide range of integrated streaming services, Very cheap
No support for DTS audio, Poor navigation for local media, Remote has questionable layout
In many ways WD TV Play is unremarkable. The design is pleasant, though the build materials are cheap. The codec support is wide, but has key omissions and the streaming services by and large are well done and user friendly. The breakthrough price of the ...
Det finnes etter hvert mange mediespillere på markedet. Denne typen enheter møter også konkurranse fra smart-tv-er og ny funksjonalitet på spillkonsoller. En del dongler med Android som kobles direkte til tv-ens HDMI-inngang vil være en løsning for no...
