Where is fancy GUI?

Options

‎02-17-2012 01:21 PM

Hello there!

Sorry if double-posting, first post here...

*tried to check the FAQ

I've downloaded new firmware for my WD TV Live as soon as I learnt how the new GUI really cool is - as per advertised in the User Manual: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/?id=282&type=25

But... still got old-fashioned, really ugly one...

Is that possible to switch it somehow?

TIA!

What WDTV live do you have. Does it look the same as the one on the first page of the manual.

Firmware updates don't change the UI.   You probably have the 2009-model WDTV, which has the old-fashioned, really ugly GUI.

thank you for your replies,

yep, my bad, bought in 2010, June.

So sad, I thought firmware is the same...
