Video: Western Digital Live Hub media player demonstrated

Stream music, photos and video files from a computer or networked hard disk

Western Digital WD TV Live Hub

Western Digital was using the Gadget Show Live to show off its latest multimedia product, the WD TV Live Hub - and in the video below, produced in association with Western Digital, we demonstrate how it works.

Loading the player ...

The Live Hub can stream music, photos and video files from a computer or any suitable Network Attached Storage (NAS) hard disk, and connects to your TV via HDMI.

There's also a one Terabyte (1TB) hard disk inside, so you can copy media files to the Live Hub then play them when the computer itself is turned off. Getting files onto the disk is easy via its USB 2.0 ports.

And it can also stream any files stored on that disk to other players such as a games console should you wish.

Enter our competition to win a Western Digital WD TV Live.

You'll find a complete list of our reports on our Gadget Show Live blog.

Facebook users can get a round-up of each day's highlights on the Computeractive Facebook Page.

Western Digital can be found on Facebook here.

BBC I Player

Will the WD TV Live Hub allow me to view BBC I player on my TV via a BT Home hub network if I add a Wi Fi adaptor?
