I have looked everywhere for an accurate scale. I checked with consumer reports and discovered scales aren’t even rated b/c there are “too many variables” (uneven surfaces, balance,ect) that can cause different readings. Then I researched the Eat Right scale. I read the reviews and finally ordered it. Its true, it is accurate!!! Like it or not, it is consistant and factual. The number that comes up on the scale is the correct number, over and over again. I used it in different rooms, same number. I used it with one foot in the air, same number. Was that so hard all you other companies who produce inaccurate scales? If you can’t make it correctly, DON”T make it. THANK YOU to Eat Smart company for doing what everyone else was not able to do… which is produce an accurate scale.

I have it connected to my home wired network and am streaming movies from a Microsoft file server.
I am streaming the following files with PERFECT results:
1080p – MP4 with DTS in MKV container (PERFECT!)
720p – MP4 with DTS in MKV container (PERFECT!)
1080p – MP4 with AC3 in MKV container (PERFECT!)
720p – MP4 with AC3 in MKV container (PERFECT!)
1080p – XVID with AC3 in AVI container (PERFECT!)
720p – XVID with AC3 in AVI container (PERFECT!)
480p – XVID with DTS in AVI container (PERFECT!)
480p – XVID with AC3 in AVI container (PERFECT!)
I had many issues streaming initially using Window Media Player then TVersity to an Xbox. HD videos kept stalling with either solution. Also the fact that the Xbox could not stream my HD MKV movies it was annoying! Using TVersity to decode and re-encode MKV to the Xbox requires a fast computer and not the cleanest way of watching MKV files. Also, response to remote control works nice a fast!! Much faster than Xbox. Boot up time is almost instant!!!!
For some reason setting the video color to 12bits in the HDMI setting causes issues where the movies will stall. Also manually setting the HDMI video to the resolution and refresh rate of your TV seems to help. For example mine is set to 1080p with 60hz.
WD Live is so good I bought 2 more (one for sister and another for my mother).
The only improvement I would like is the ability to set a Favorites/Bookmark Folder so that it’s quicker to navigate to my movies located in my server. Right now I need to dig down several layers down to access my movies.
