youtube HD: does this play youtube in HD?

It plays HD video from YouTube. The picture looks compressed some, looking similar to the HD video that you would get from Amazon VOD or Qriocity VOD.

Yes!! Very well actually. I've never had a problem with any video format. I've used mp4, m4v, avi, iso and a few others. I'm literally in love with this thing haha

Hi, No this won't record in HD even though it may be broadcast in HD. You'd need a blueray recorder to keep it to HD quality. This is just standard definition quality. I really like the units though if that's not an issue.

Any idea about a software which convert the files to those format. I want to play YouTube downloaded videos but can't. I tried to convert to mpeg2 but those r not working. Any input is appreciated.

No. This unit down converts and records in standard definition and then up converts the playback in HD. Seems counterproductive but my guess is this approach was chosen to put less demand on the hardware. The up conversion is very good and the quality is about 90% of true HD. I would estimate most people would not notice the slight loss of quality.

IT DOESN'T ! It allows the display to show video encoded as 1080p but does not display it as 1080p (1920x1080). it isn't even truelly 720p(1280x720) The display is 1080x600 so a conversion of the data from 1920x1080 is performed to downscale the video to 1080x600. On a device this small you may be able to notice the difference. But it will be quite watchable. The difference of 1080p to 720p to lesser formats are like the difference between lossless audio and mp3 for music files, most people don't notice what's missing (lost) and enjoy it all the same.

This device doesn't offer the HD, it just says it can play on an HD TV. It's a trick of words. This one here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006LEYQK4/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 will, and as far as I know it doesn't matter the type of SD card

Would PlayOn or TVersity be able to stream live videos using the Western Digital Live HD Tv ?

Yes It will Stream 1080p HD and Play 1080p Files. I play HD Videos on this Laptop all the Time especially when I plug it up to The Television through The HDMI. It Has a 1GB ATI Radeon Buit in Graphics Card also Great for Medium Gaming if that helps too.

No. Startup screen shows Netflix, Youtube, Picasa, Vudu, and Pandora. It also DOES NOT play dual formatted discs that have both 3D and 2D on same disc. Has trouble playing half of all normal blurays

Sorry, I can't help here as I am still using a 2004 Sony tube TV. Not sure about the HD compatibility.

No. It just has a cable tv type F connector. If you connect an antenna to it and can receive local hd broadcasts, then you can see HD. Also, some cable systems have a "raw" digital HD feed that does not require a cable set top box, but will play HD thru the F connector.

May I suggest looking at comparative videos on YOUTUBE and making sure that you click on the HD option. I find the YOUTUBE quality to be better than Vimeo. Please post your reactions then.Awaiing the CNET comparative review...
