Or does it recognize one command as a series of commands by false?
- Don’t return it yet, just Hack it!

Warning: Do it very carefully not to avoid your warranty!

Hack by Xtr3m3
(www.avforums.com)

– Just 5 Steps –

Step 1 – Open it up

You need WD TV + some small tools to remove the case + thin antistatic reflective film + scotch tape + scissors.
Push the locks from the pointed spots from both sides and pull out the case. Be carefully not to brake the locks.

Step 2 – Cut it out

In front of the WD TV there is a power LED + IR-LED + USB LED.
In the right side there is four (4) thin reflective films.
Cut the films as sized 16 x 16 mm.

Step 3 – Kill the IR-noise

Use pieces of Scotch tape to put them together. Should be easy.

And then cut out others by leaving a bit (see the pic).

Tape it on from the top side. Do not cover the film with the tape !!!

Step 4 – Test it out

Put the black case cover on but don’t close it yet. Test out to be sure there is enough film and not too much.

Step 5 - Done

Who would imagine what you have done to this little innocent fellow.
