If you do not want to pay twonky company for its software update, at least start to develop an internal DLNA solution. There are some existing freeware LGPLed linux distribution in Internet: http://elinux.org/DLNA_Open_Source_Projects
I think no one is asking for real time transcoding on the cpu of wd's NAS: we need just a reliable solution that works with all current file containers (mkv, avi, mp4) and possibly with most common DLNA receivers (Xbox, playstation, some new tv set)

Fair point.  Open source so no massice licence fees. I guess that what they need to prove is that those open source DNLA servers will run reliably non-stop  No bugs that will make them crash, no memory leaks, etc....
