The Basics (continued):

The front of the WD TV is shown in the below left image, where you can see that the aesthetics are quite understated. It is all black, with the only contrast coming from some matte text and logos that barely stand out from the glossy surface. There are no buttons, and the only two other features are a power LED and a storage activity LED.



The back of the unit is shown in the above right image. From left to right we see a DC power jack, one of the USB ports, the HDMI connection, an optical audio port, and the yellow/white/red RCA connections required for composite audio and video.



The images below show the sides of the unit where other than some slots intended to allow air in to cool the device, the only feature of note is the other USB port.



The compact remote control is shown in the next image. There are just 17 buttons, and with just a short amount of time invested in to using the WD TV, I found I was able to operate it without looking at the remote all that often. What also impressed me was that the system responded quickly to my commands, and never lagged to the point where I wondered if it had received the signal.
