Just got this in my email.
This is a powerful USB and network HD media player that decodes, playback and outputs HD 1080p videos through HDMI. Plays full HD movies, music or media in the comfort of your living room, whilst browsing video files in your bedroom! Supports most video formats and media via the USB or flash drives. Easy to use and control with the intuitive remote control, so sit back and relax while this powerful media player does all the work.
Seems to play most formats and file types (incl MKV).

If this player can do everything the WD TV can do + more, then is it still cheaper?
what's the quality /reliability of this player compared to WD TV ?
