Check its specifications....

" Electrical Specifications

Current Requirements

Power Dissipation

AC Input Voltage 100-240 VAC

which matches Indian standards. So, no hassles in using this device in India.

I got it through ICC World and have been using this since Dec-10. It works perfectly fine. When I use with WD Live player, there is no problem in playing 720p movies but 1080p are jerky.

@*Raj*

can you check the actual bandwidth offered by this product at your place? use these softwares if you can.
