I want to deliver via same VPN to WD Live unit

Would do I need in a router set up to wireless deliver with a VPN generated address. Can I use a Netgear wndr3700?

Is anyone using the youtube or youtube videos app? I signed in but I cannot browse my subscriptions. The interface is terrible (and slow) as compared to my ATV2.

I also installed the WDTV app on my Nexus. That was marginally better but when I tried to log into youtube I found that the keyboard lacked the @ symbol. Frustrating to say the least.

I find the YouTube app a pain to use. And as I mentioned I have not found a way to browse my subscriptions. It just starts playing them in succession. Searching is painfully slow as well. Even with the app running on my Nexus.

WD Support just confirmed you cannot browse YouTube channels or their videos you subscribe to. It just starts playing them and you have to hit next to get to the next video. That is a terrible design.

You have to hand it to Apple. Their podcasts (another source for CTV and CBC videos) and YouTube app works quite well.
