Those in the market for a media centre now have one more alternative from Western Digital.

The hard drive company today launched the WD TV Live Hub media centre ($319.99) - a full high-definition (1,080p) media player with a 1TB built-in network hard drive.

The media centre has HDMI, composite A/V, component video and optical audio output. It has ethernet connectivity, and is WiFi-ready. The device comes with a remote control.

You can transfer content to the media centre from shared folders on PCs and Macs on the home network, or plug in other storage devices and cameras to the two USB ports. You can also stream video, music and photos from the WD TV Live Hub to any DLNA/UPnP (Digital Living Network Alliance/Universal Plug and Play)-compatible television, Blu-Ray player or game console in your home. You can stream media to multiple screens in different parts of the house simultaneously, too.

The WD TV Live Hub media centre lets you access Facebook and Flickr, as well as watch YouTube videos.
