My husband’s a techie, and I usually roll my eyes at the
latest gadget he tells me about. But this one, I actually saw the use for
immediately and it has made it so easy to bring our family entertainment with
us wherever we go!
It’s called the WD TV
Live Plus and it connects to any TV with an HDMI Cable. We keep it in the family room and we can view
all the movies we have digital copies of and home movies that we would otherwise
have to huddle around the computer to watch. It can also connect to the
Internet over your home Wi-Fi and has apps for you to watch Netflix movies,
Hulu Plus shows, YouTube videos, and
many more.
When we go on vacation, we simply take it with us and plug
it up to the TV in the hotel. If you have an entertainment system in your car,
SUV, or minivan, it may be able to hook up to that system too. We play our
movie collection on road trips and keep the kids entertained during those long
drives. (you know how long they can
seem!)
We no longer have to take a giant binder full of DVD’s with
us in hopes that the hotel will have a DVD player!
Here’s what you need to buy:
1.
One WD TV
Live Plus

One HDMI
Cable

One small
portable hard drive to put your digital movies on
Here’s what you need to do:

when we’re travelling.
