Specifications
Take note of the "note" in the specifications. The TV Live Plus only handles pictures up to 2048x2048. This isn't such a big deal if you have an UPnP AV server that can resize pictures on the fly. It will handle larger pictures, though. It just errors out on some of them.

Package Contents
Starting off the contents of the WD TV Live Plus is the literature and CD with information on it. There are some rubber sticky feet to place on the Live Plus when you determine which orientation you want to use.
The second layer has the TV Live Plus along with the remote, two AA batteries (generic), the AC adapter, non-standard component cables, and non-standard RCA composite cables. If you'll notice the audio-esque jack attached to the component cable, that's the end you insert into the Live Plus. It saves space, but we don't like proprietary cables.
Here is a close up of the two cables with the strange ends. You can pick these types of cables up at RadioShack, but we always prefer standard RCA style cables rather than the breakout style.
