Conclusion
|
The idea is great but implementation poor. It's only worthwhile for listening to music, the rest isn't up to the mark. It gets its stars for its qualities as a media centre. The Apple dock is mediocre. |
This is a media centre stuffed with features and with a particularly good interface. With just a little more work from Western when it brings out the updates, it will improve even further. In the meantime, the WD TV Live Hub has the merit of being easy to use and offering a high quality experience. |
