I'm thinking about buying a WDTV. Can it read files from an NTFS formatted external HDD? Or must it be FAT32 formatted?

Yes.
FAT32 is next to useless for media files due to the 4GB file size limit.

Fantastic, thanks.
I rarely play media files larger than 1GB or so, it was more for the storage.

Great little boxes, used it with my old TV, oddly now, my samsung TV does virtually everything directly which is great, the wdtv has been relegated to another room.

I have one of the second model, the WDTV Live and it's brilliant for most things but for some reason I just could not get it to play a stream from my upnp media server for more than about 2 mins before it crashed. I tried everything I could think of and nothing fixed it so I went back to my trusty old xbox running XBMC and that wortked perfectly straight away...

Can it play video that's in an uncompressed RAR?
I know that my WDTV Live can't play files which are inside a RAR archive!
WDTV ordered. Can't wait for it to arrive. Think I'll buy a 2 bay Synology NAS to go with it as well.

I've had a WDTV live for a few months now, apart from initial problems sharing my media (my fault tbh) it has been perfect.
It just sits there & does the job, no noise, no fuss, it just works.

No. Why would it want to?
