Wd tv live hd media player troubleshooting

Does or did anyone have a similar issue and potential solution? Support Downloads Knowledge Base. German Spanish Italian French. HGST Support. Correction its the tv that has 2 hdmi ports. My LG Tv has lost all 4 hdmi ports. All rights reserved. Did the same thing to the other switch, and got back the 30mbps speed. These switches have been connected for around 10 years, are always on and never caused a problem.

Weird, again. A couple of weeks later I had the same problem with the same switches. It was storm season, and one day the house power blinked for less than a second; the lights really never went out; neither did the network so I thought.

I removed and renewed power to the two 4-port switches and was up and running again. This situation scrambled their brains; and only the brains of the Linksys switches, not the D-Link.

Now, we have a fully wired cat5 house, and all network items connected are wired. Besides, whenever I know power has gone off, I always reboot the system from modem to PCs, and all the gizmos connected to TV; incl. I remove all power from the entertainment system, too. I would say then that a component that builds your network is bad; likely the router, switches, wires etc. I completely disagree with this sorry. They all work flawlessly when accesing the internet or performing other tasks such as streaming videos to the iPad from the PC wirelessly.

Everything has been working perfectly until Sunday last week. My wireless configuration is very simple, I have a Windows 7 PC with shared folders from one of the internal drives on a wireless N router which is getting the internet from a little modem. Same thing here too. I have reset, reconfigured etc and same thing. It has the newest FW so i cant do an update…anyway to force new firmware on it? As mentioned by someone earlier in the thread, I completely powered down my router, modem, both WDTV units, and flicked the switch on the wall socket to off for 10 mins.

Glad to know you got it fixed. I hope you had a beer or two while you waited those 10 long minutes! Kind of like watching paint dry. There are all sorts of things that can bung up an electronic gizmo. Your mention of the wall switch made me wonder: Could it be possible that someone started to turn of the wall switch, realized their mistake, and fliped it back on immediately: kind of like a blip from the power company?

The wall switch is never tampered with by anyone else I can assure you. Thank you, I really appreciate all your help and apologise for the time wasted! Valuable lesson learnt! Well we got there in the end and thats all that counts.

Start a new thread if you have any more problems or questions. If I pause or rewind it will freeze then play in slow motion. Only fixed by rebooting device. Works fine if I just play the movie all the way through. No bathroom breaks for me! I have to power it off about every hour because it just stops playing video… especially on youtube. Clunky interface. Thumbs view is super slow and a pain to get working correctly. An hour or two wasnt enough I would have given it two stars for this, but a beta firmware update a couple of weeks ago seems to have fixed the problem.

I wasted many hours on this. What you have to remember is that people mostly post their problems. The people with no problems are not posting they are using their WDTV live boxes to watch movies and play music. They are well worth the price imo. They are simple, yet versitile. Most of my files are xvid and a few are divx.
