Western Digital Launches Live Hub for Rs. 9999/-

| by Sriram Gurunathan |

Western Digital announced the release of their third-generation Media Streamer, the WDTV Live Hub, today and revealed the price for the product would be Rs. 9999/-. The device packs a massive 1TB hard-drive for storage, and is easily the most feature-packed one yet. It plays a crazy amount of formats at nearly every popular resolution, and is compatible with almost every TV out there today.

New Form Factor

WD have decided to go with a new form-factor with this device, doing away with the MyBook look of the previous generations, instead going with a sleeker, slimmer look for something that’ll slot right into your home theatre cabinet. The device has a couple of USB ports for storage expansion and file transfers, an Ethernet port to connect to the internet to watch videos, and also sports UPnP/DLNA streaming capabilities to hook it up with a compatible TV or game console. The only downer is the apparent lack of inbuilt wi-fi (it needs a separate optional adapter).


File Formats Supported:     
Video - AVI (Xvid, AVC, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MKV (h.264, x.264, AVC, MPEG1/2/4, VC-1), TS/TP/M2T (MPEG1/2/4, AVC, VC-1), MP4/MOV (MPEG4, h.264), M2TS, WMV9  
Photo - JPEG, GIF, TIF/TIFF, BMP, PNG
Audio - MP3, WAV/PCM/LPCM, WMA, AAC, FLAC, MKA, AIF/AIFF, OGG, Dolby Digital, DTS
Playlist - PLS, M3U, WPL
Subtitle - SRT, ASS, SSA, SUB, SMI

Interfaces:
Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, HDMI, Composite A/V, Component video, Optical audio

Going through the features and specs, this one seems to be one killer device. We can’t wait to get our hands on this baby. How about you? Let us know by commenting.
