Firmware upgrade

[Jack12345]

I have just bought a WD Live TV and I want to upgrade the firmware to be able to access BBC iPlayer and Netflix.

The automatic update does not work. I have also tried the manual upgrade which also does not see the usb drive I inserted.

This is a copy of someone's post and I have tried their fix and I still can't upgrade.

Thanks JD

What Model# is your WDTV?

What firmware version is it CURRENTLY running?

What version are you trying to upgrade to?

Is it even detecting a new version and notifying you?

Do you have Auto Firmware Detection enabled?

What happens when you try the automatic update?

Got it to upgrade by taking files out of folder on flash drive i.e. in top level.

Extract the four files (.BIN, .VER, .FFF, and .INFO files) to the root (top level) of a

portable USB drive.

I did not remove from folder Doh
