WDTV App store

Would be really good to have an "App Store" for the services on the WDTV live. Instead of having them all installed as default via the firmware - have the ability to pick what you'd like and install it. 

 

For example - out of all the services installed, I only really use Netflix and iplayer. Having the ability to pick and choose would clean up the interface and allow for it to be controlled by me!

This can already be done. Go into: Setup > System > Device > Device Security > Parental Control > Services. From there you can show/hide services and only have displayed the content you want.

This is too complex for a consumer product. A simpler way would be to add 'hide this' to the options menu.

I agree with warbus. But thanks for the hint ernieflapps!

The ability to "hide this service" - or an app store to "include this" - either way would be an improvement.  I have no interest in certain types of services - pay-per-view, radio, amateur video exchanges (aka Cat Video Services), to name a few.  It would be great if I could evaluate each new service and figure out if it will provide me with television shows or movies to watch or other content I care about, and if it doesn't interest me, remove it from the list.  Or if it does interest me, it will be on a smaller list and easier to find.  Or if I can't figure out what the heck it does, I can leave it on the list until I figure it out (like Flingo - **bleep** is that?).
