Following the success of the WD TV Live Hub, Western Digital has now introduced the diskless version in the new WD TV Live (2011).

The new Live adds a couple more killer features, namely built-in Wi-Fi and support for the Spotify music-streaming service, to the already long list of services and file formats handled by its predecessors.

There were still some bugs left to iron out and the Spotify service is a little daunting in comparison to its desktop counterpart, but in all this is one of the best streamers for the price.
