WDHDTV, No Storage Present Options

[Christine]

Hi

I am so hoping someone here has the knowledge! I am new here.

I have a 1TB HD, NTFS with MKV movie files converted using DVDFAB under Windows XP. These are my last attempt in trying to get WD to work.

things I have tried that did not work:
Soft reset on WD box
Hard reset on WD box (since the heard reset, box is defaulted to NTSC and does not give me any option to change back to PAL)
Check firmware on WD box which is 1.03.01
Used Mac OS X 10.6.5 reformatted HD to unjournaled as required
Used Mac OS X 10.6.5 reformatted HD to exfat
Converted dvd to VOB files
Converted dvd to Mp4 files
Converted dvd to Mpeg 1 files
Converted dvd to Mpeg 1 files

The HD drive read perfectly fine on both my macs and windows systems. I tried a USB stick and WD box recognised that in an instant and was able to show pics etc.

All these have taken me to days with no positive results, I am about to discard the WD and buy an Apple TV! But thought I will seek some expert advice first before I spend any more money on this.

Any help is most grateful! Thank you
Christine

spend your money the way you want to, nobody wants any bad feelings if it isn't the right choice for you.

I just think for the price these WD media players are hard to beat, especially with the custom firmware

the original WDTV is a bit dated now and custom firmware (like WD firmware) has pretty much reached end of life..
best advice would be to realize what you want from a media player and do research, lots of research..
