For many years I've been using this little old device to play my ripped movies , mainly blu rays on an external Seagate usb drive. This drive was hooked up to a Netgear internet wifi router R6400 (which connected to an Arris internet modem) then ethernet to the WDTV placing next to the TV. I could rip a movie directly to the drive using my main PC also connected to the router. A bit clunky at times, it actually served me well. ...

OK, recently our ancient Arris internet modem decided to die unexpectedly and Xfinity gave us a modem/wifi router combo XB7 free of charge for replacement. This new combo unit is much faster, simpler and serve our needs perfectly but the WDTV is no longer usable as such. I could connect the Seagate directly via usb port but i can no longer access this drive with my PC.

Well, as I'm not very technically minded and been out of this loop for many years.... May I ask you good folks what is my alternative? Keep the WDTV and get some sort of network router to use with my PC or a completely new system?

Two things I need: the new system must be able to play movies with subtitles from a USB drive and this drive must be connected permanently to a PC for updating.

Many thanks in advance.

Do unipeds, amputees (people with only one foot) have to buy shoes in pair? Can you just buy one single shoe instead? Serious question. Thanks!

Is there a way to edit photos directly from Photos app instead of having to import them into Snapseed album first?
