Does the WD TV live hub require a hard wired connection between a dedicated computer and the TV?
I ran an old dedicated computer with a 1 TB WD hard drive receiving a wireless internet connection. The computer died and I am now studying the problem. I bought an old ROKU said to be capable of streaming off a local wireless computer but I can’t make it work yet.
No, it’s optional. The device itself does the playback. You can play back media from its own internal 1TB HD, or from a computer. Your choice.
But it’s not one of those annoying devices that uses your computer to process the video first, no.
