I was the lucky winner of WD My Net HD Dual-Band Router during the WD media launch last Thursday, December 13, 2012 held at the Boracay Hall of Edsa Shangri La Manila. Very thankful that I was invited to this great and informative event. We are now enjoying the easy-to-use

Net.

“With so many
people within the home simultaneously watching movies, playing games

grown exponentially,” states Jim Welsh, executive vice president
for WD's branded products and consumer electronics groups. “Our

Direct-to-home video services is INDEED growing. However, it's very much reliant on our country's ISPs and how good a service they can provide :) Having said that, the people I do know to have direct-to-home hardware use Apple TV. It's very fancy and a heck of a lot more expensive though.
Congrutalions! I hope I can with that gadget too! That will be a good experience in surfing the net and playing game consoles.
