Please advise as to why there is no mention that I can find on your website of the potential of ABC iview no longer being supported by all WD TV players. Given that the situation has arisen beyond the control of WD, I believe an update to the web site will be made soon to describe the situation and possible resolutions shortly.
Question 5. Please advise why you are still advisertising ABC iview as a selling point for your WD TV Live Streaming Players when at this stage it can not be used to view programs and WD has no current time line for offering a firmware update to access these programs, and are currently questioning whether or not to keep the ABC iview service.
Answer 5 - The service in question, ABC iView is one of multiple services originally supported by the device. Given that this change from the service no longer supporting the WD device has come about since November 1st , it is not possible to immediately recall publicity physical or virtual or packaging that lists the service as supported. In reality, the service is supported but given the change endured by the service, it no longer supports the device named WD TV Live Streaming Media Player.
Question 6. As accessing ABC iview was a major factor in my purchase will I be refunded some of my purchase price if WD decides to drop the service. Answer 6 - A full refund is made available by most retailers within a certain period of the device purchase. If you recently purchased the device from either venue, both options can be considered. If the unit has been deemed as faulty to a major level, not fit for purpose, not of acceptable quality, dead on arrival or not meeting its expressed warranties, a refund can be requested from the manufacturer after all available resolutions have been exhausted.
For sale: 2 not terribly old WD Live media players. Previously much loved, now somewhat less so. Does anybody have suggestions for a good, inexpensive media player that supports a wide range of media formats and has a working iView app? Thanks for sharing this.
