WD_LXTV is a souped up unofficial firmware for the Western Digital WDTV created by b-rad.cc. It is based off of the 1.02.00 firmware, but with many extra features. Similar to the dvdmod firmware, this is a permanent flash, just like an official upgrade. This firmware is an option for those whos hardware is stable with Zoranders ext3-boot, or those who don’t do much firmware programming to take advantage of ext3-boot. Once again, ext3-boot is for (sorta) pro’s and testers whereas WDLXTV is for everyday use.
