       Spitting and popping while streaming Netflix, Bad noises through the WDTV LivePLUS box

    I bought the LivePlus box and it's working fine except when I try to stream Netflix. I have no trouble viewing video from a USB hard drive; only Netflix is a problem. About once in a half-hour show, the audio stops working, there are some popping sounds and some static noise. The video plays the whole time, but the audio stops for about three to five seconds and then picks back up again. If I back up and watch the same scene, it's fine.

    Because Netflix can also stream through my DVD player, I tried that, and every show streams fine. So I bought a second WDTV LivePlus box and tried that out. This new box also makes the loud popping sounds when I stream. Is this a known problem for Netflix users? Is this a problem with software that will be patched with a future upgrade? I can use the DVD player as a workaround, but the WDTV box is a more flexible solution and I'd prefer to use that for video streaming.

    I installed the new firmware and that made it worse. I couldn't even get connected. So I'll downgrade now. Thanks, though. Any other thoughts?
