WDLiveTV + NAD + DaInternetz = WINNING

[dipshit.]

So, I finally came out of the archaic age, and upgraded my old Motorola 5200 cable modem (DOCSIS2.0) to the latest and greatest Motorola SB6121 w/ firm update and DOCSIS3.0, and I'm seeing 3x D/L speeds. Fuck yea. Shits about to get real.

I also went and bought a WD MyCloud 4Tb NAD and slapped it on my new Asus Dual-Band N750 wireless router, and shit got real.

THEN I went ahead, and bought a WD Live TV media player and put it on our new 50" LED,and shit got really real.


I really wanted to buy a nice Android-based media box, or even a Sony Google TV, but the WD set is the best bang-for-the-buck out there for cost vs. scalability and what you can do with it.


++ Highly recommend

SB6121 is not the latest and greatest but if your service is 100Mbps or less it should be OK.

sounds like u had a busy day

According to Speedtest:

6.49Mbps Down
1.07Mbps Up


Eh, enough for what I'm doing

[mikeawesome]

6.49Mbps is 3 times the speed? lol

[mikeawesome]

your old modem should have able to do that

I would agree. However, TWC is blaming it's old DOCSIS 2.0 based firmware on my slow speeds.



And not at all blaming it on their shitty service, second only to their shitty customer service


Could've been my old shitty router too. It's seen it's fair share of brownouts, and had 2 blown ethernet ports, and hung everytime I tried to do a firmware update.

are they going to do a MAXX upgrade in your area?

[dipshit.]

Doubtful. Maybe the greater Columbus,OH area tho (about 20 mi. south).

those speeds are horrible.
you did not need to buy the SB6141 for those speeds.
seriously, those speeds are horrendous.

i get 20Mbps down, 2Mbps up. i have the sb6141.
i need to upgrade my plan to 50Mbit someday.

Too much beef potential. Not going to pile on.

Go with God, brah.

wd tv live was a good call. I doled one to the rents and put it on the kitchen tv. Stream media to it using "PS3 media server" Works... okay, needs a lot more fine tuning.
