You’ve got tons of music, movies and other media files stuffed in your Mac, right? Watching The Office from your laptop is fine and dandy, but sometimes you just want to kick back on the couch and watch stuff on a real TV. Which is why we’re hooking you up with a WDTV from Western Digital.
We love the WDTV for its simplicity, and reliability. You can use it to pipe music, photos, & video files to your entertainment center, without any complicated setup. Just plug it in and go. And since it uses pretty much any standard USB hard drive for storage, there’s no limit to the amount of media you can keep hanging around. Even better, the WDTV supports full 1080p output, so you can watch HD content at full resolution out of the box. And it works with practically any media format imaginable, including OGG and FLAC audio, and a zillion different video formats (OK, maybe not a zillion).
All you have to do is post a comment in this article to win your very own Western Digital WD TV. That's it! The comment can be as long or as short
as you like – one word will do!
Our Mac|Life super
comment choosing machine will choose a random comment and award one
lucky person a WD TV, with a retail value of $99.99. The odds of
winning are determined by the number of eligible entries received. The
prize is nontransferable and must be accepted as awarded.

I have been thinking of picking one of these up for a while now. A friend of mine has one and it works great. Would make a great addition to my media center in addition to my ATV.
