I just finished ripping my entire blu-ray collection and I thought I would give you some of my thoughts.
The WDTV plays just about any video format I threw it at 1080p.
I ripped all the videos to M2TS files with AnyDVD and ClownBD.

If I had to do it over again I would use the makemv program.
The WDTV box does not have an ethernet port, but there are hacked firmwares that enable USB ethernet adapters, etc.
So for the price 89-129 depending on where you get it from, its not a bad little device.
It is a little slow menu browsing and chapter skipping seems broken on the files I ripped (I probably did not check the option to do this). FF works up to 16x.
Video quality seems to be on par with blu-ray. I am not an audiophile so I only tested 2.1 but it sounds good.
