I know that a bunch of us here use the excellent WD TV. Anyway, for those who do, there is a new update posted at the WD site:

Is this the 1.02.07 update from April or is there something newer?

Here's a pretty interesting forum for the WD TV that posts links to beta firmware and homebrew software:

WD seems to release firmware updates pretty frequently.

For those who don't know, WD TV is an inexpensive 'sneakernet' media player that plays almost anything from an external hard drive to your TV. It's for people who want to play digital media files on their TV, but don't want to connect a computer to it. I really like mine but I wish it was better at searching files. I'm looking forward to the next version which is supposed to support internet streaming.

To put things back on topic, I also use mine to test Vegas output on a variety of displays.
