Discs no more
I recently bought a WD TV, a little box that turns any USB drive you connect into a well-featured media center. Even though I don’t have a HD television to make the most of it, it still seemed the perfect fit as I have a couple of unused external hard drives lying around. And so far I’m fairly impressed, it supports almost all video formats I threw at it (no DV though, although I understand that’s not a media center’s priority) and it is apparently a pretty hackable minicomputer that runs a Linux kernel (people have already added rudimentary network support and applications, so I guess the addition of more codecs is only a matter of time).
So, what’s the use of discs?
