WHS YouTube Downloader is a Windows Home Server 2011 (WHS) add-in that lets you download YouTube videos using Windows Home Server’s remote web access site. Just add your videos to the download queue and leave your home server downloading.
We last reviewed Iomega’s entry-level NAS device, the Home Media Network Hard Drive 18 months ago. We uncovered a few no-brainer compatibility issues with Windows 7, but were generally impressed by its on board DLNA media server and backup software. That said, our verdict was that it was very much a “smarter hard drive” that lacked the breadth of features required to compete with more capable NAS servers. Things have moved on, and how will the company’s latest version of the media drive compare?
Whilst Intel’s Wireless Display technology may be front of mind for many when considering pushing video from a PC to a TV or projector, it requires compatible laptops (Intel-based, obviously) and TV adaptors.

They’re exactly the people that Sony are targeting with their new Bravia SMP-N100, the company’s first dedicated network media player, which is set for launch next month.
Storage specialist Western Digital today took the wraps off the WDTV Live Plus HD, an enhanced member of the WDTV media streaming family with Netflix integration. The new Netflix interface enables members to browse and add movies to their instant Queue on the Netflix Website right from their TV. Viewers can then instantly watch thousands of movies and TV episodes on the big screen.
Seems like Microsoft is finding new ways to get the ear of the Internet (YouTube) connected generation. I spotted this over on Windows Home Server Blog, and thought there might be a few out there who might want to check out all the WHS YouTube videos from one place.
