It was just about two months ago when we saw that updated Western Digital WD TV Live Media Player become available, and more recently we have learned about a new firmware update that has become available. Of course, if you are a WD TV owner you may want to keep reading because there have now been more than a few reports of that firmware update turning the set-top box into a brick.

The reports are coming by way of the WD Community forums and it seems that users are not all that happy at the moment. Anyway, that firmware update that seems to be causing the issues is v1.101.12 and once applied it seems to be booting to a black screen. And only a black screen.

Bottom line, if you are a WD TV user and have been affected, take comfort in knowing that you are not alone. And for those that have not yet updated, you can worry a little less because WD has since pulled that update from the available category.
