while browsing for something unrelated, i found the following link to a custom firmware for the WDTV which you can use to add network support, CIFS, NFS, FTP etc

i dont have one of these, but this sounds like a useful firmware to turn the wdtv into a cheap NAS box..


edit: kinda pointless if i dont post the link too: http://b-rad.cc/wdlxtv/
