[1]Western Digital has updated its WD TV Live set-top box firmware to support not only BBC iPlayer but also Netflix.
Netflix kicked off its UK video streaming service yesterday. The jury is still out on whether it offers a better option than the likes of Amazon's Lovefilm and Tesco's Blinkbox.
However, there can be few Brits who don't relish the idea of watching iPlayer on a TV, especially when relatively few sets have the service already built in. Some tellies from Sony and Samsung do, for instance.
The WD TV Live is already available and costs £120 [2]. The fresh firmware will be posted imminently. ®
