WDTV Live Alternatives

Hi ThereWe currently had a WDTV Live, and it's OK but the menu's are getting quite laggy and Netflix often freezes. This morning it's just completely frozen, so I guess it's time for something new. Rolled back the firmware and it's still the same :( Quite happy with the WDTV overall, apart form the menu lag - this is the main thing I would look for in something new - fast menu! I had a quick search but all the threads seemed to be old/outdated.It just gets used for playing media files (1.5Tb over 2 hard drives - menu lag only happens when more than 500Gb is attached), and netflix.The kids like to stream from it to watch stuff in their bedrooms on their laptops too - it was doing this ok via wireless but that recently stopped working, so it is wired to the modem now - wireless is handled by 2 x Unifi APLR, so I don't think it's that side of it that was causing the issues there (and it now works fine now the WDTV is wired).Needs to be relatively easy to use so the wife/kids can use it.A better netflix app/user interface would be good too... the WDTV one is a bit crappy.Any ideas? Would it be worth looking at one that also does android tv/whatever?Thanks!
