That WD TV Live HD Media Payer Doesn’t Play Pandora

1:30PM Nick Broughall | The thing that struck me about the press release for the WD TV Live HD Media Player wasn’t the ability to stream your HD content over your network to your TV (my PS3 does that for me), but more the fact that it apparently allows you to stream Pandora internet radio here in Australia.
