| good alternative to Western Digital WDTV HD Media Player
tried my friends Western Digital WDTV HD Media Player .
PRO: It plays pretty much all kinds of file formats.
Con: Its menus system and remote is very slow to respond and use.
Anyone else have a different brand media player that is around the same price range. I am looking for one and only have first hand experience with the Western Digital, dont know which one to compare to.

Was it the WDTV or the newer WDTV Live you tried? The Live is supposed to be faster. Also patriot box office I've heard good things.
