inc VAT Adding streaming to this already excellent media player makes it better than ever. If you don't need wireless, buy this.

If you’re looking for a media streamer and you don’t require wireless networking, the WD TV Live is the one to buy. In use it feels more like a consumer device, such as a Blu-ray player, than a complex piece of technical equipment. This is an impressive feat for a unit with so many functions, and it deserves our Best Buy award.
