http/www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/ supports LAN. Unfortunately its twice as much. 🙁

With the right 802.11N USB dongle to allow streaming, it's an OK deal.

Too bad there's likely no "right 802.11N USB dongle" for a device like that. Firmware that lets the stream look like it's coming from USB memory seems like a custom job that'd make it too expensive to justify this device over the competition...

I wish the WD unit played more formats and also had lan capability. If so, it'd be a nice product. Hopefully they keep it up to date with good support (firmware updates).

With 802.11n and a blu-ray drive this is perfect. Can't find one though.
