Hey Praks,

any update...

Thanks

 

[m-jeri]

Yup... Any updates??

 

[Praks]

Guys

waiting for update from fastraj

He has WDTV Live & has told in this thread that he will test this firmware. If torrents are working then we are good to go. I see lots of complain still on rad's site.

I am sure each one of you like to shutdown your comp & let WDTV download your stuff overnight without noise & minimum power

 

[m-jeri]

90% It will work... as said on the wdtvforum.

@fastraj

Did you try firmware & is torrent working ? Please reply

Guys, I have managed to hack the WDTV to run linux and do whatever I wanted. I have already explained the process in this thread :

http://www.techenclave.com/consumer-electronics/hack-wdtv-into-networked-snazzy-media-149725.html

And Im sure the next question will be if I tried torrents in specific ! I did not, but I got Samba working on the WDTV. So installing Transmission (the torrent downloader for Linux) should be a breeze.

I would love to get my hands on the WDTV Live for 6.5k if there is a GO. Let us know.

Thank you.

I am more inclined towards WDTV Live

Please confirm if any WDTV/WDTV Live user has tried above method & working fine.

@vinayaga

Great post. Already saved it.

Were you able to install Utorrent on it ? Would like to know if you get any port forward issues ? I dont have any requirement of samba server, just looking for torrent.

If you were able to make it work on WDTV then I am sure WDTV Live will be easy breeze coz it already has RJ45 port.

Please do try Utorrent & Give feedback.

(You are in bangalore so possibly meet up & talk to the guys from where we can have Bulk deal or GO)

My WDTV arrives today..

 

[vinayaga]

Sorry, but the week has been crazy at work. The best I will be able to do is try it over the weekend.

@vinayaga

[Praks]

@vinayaga

Sure, pls do try with Utorrent. Would be great if you can post method with screenshot as you did earlier.

Once successful, we are good to go.

 

[fastraj]

[kenkanya]

Hi folks,
Iam interested in WDTV live in Rs6500 (including shipping - possible?). Let me know how to get through GO.
Thanks

 

[boomshankar]

Let me know if u'll are turning this into a GO

 

[dheerajjotwani]

[Praks]

Thanks for views guys.

Waiting for vinayaga, He is the guy who modified & gave full process for WDTV.

I am sure he will be doing his review on WDTV live by this weekend.

 

[manu1991]

Why do you want to run utorrent , running it on a linux distribution would require WINE et al , rtorrent and the likes would be lighter .

 

[agm_105]

Hey any headsup on ..the GO ... i m tempted to buy one...

 

[hector19]

even am in for a WD HD TV GO !

can any of u guys arrange ?
