Its time i add a backup drive to my computer as my MKV collection is getting large and my HDD is roughly 4 year old and if it went wrong id be gutted due to years worth of backing up my collection.
I am looking at getting a WD My Book Live 2TB HDD which will back up my computer media files (All MKVs and all my music)
Is the popcorn hour A-400 streamer good to stream off the WD my book drive. Any experiences with this.
Is it possible if i took the popcorn a-400 to another house to stream off my wd live drive at my house or would i have to copy the files to the HDD.
Cheers Guys.
Also is this a good setup, any views.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Popcorn Hour is almost non-existent in the USA and Canada, so this limits the responses you can get to UK/European members.
I can't comment on the streaming capabilities, but I can tell you that you should not be able to move the A-400 to another house and access files in your home network with it. Unless they have some capability that I don't know of, typically they have to be connected to the same network as your files to stream.
Note that all disk drives eventually fail, so you should probably buy TWO of the 2TB drives and keep one as a disconnected emergency backup in storage. When you add movies, attach it to your PC and copy the movies to both drives, then disconnect the emergency backup and store it. -
Thanks for reply.
I thought as much.
Well as it goes for backup. My computer has 2tb HDD which has all my media stored. I have got the WD my live hub recently which is set to back up my computer only. Then I have a seperate folder for media set to back up my music, films off the computer etc. And as its a NAS drive I can access all files once comp is switched off etc. And when i get the A400 i will be able to stream off it. This is the plan anyways
thats the plan anyway
