It's not hard to do the USB thing at all. I just prefer to stream. Efficiency is king.

Again, though, the one I had kept refusing to recognize my devices. I'd unplug the thumb drive, copy some stuffs onto it, plug it back in and then spend 15 minutes fiddling with the device to get it to work. Shutting it down, unplugging everything, swapping the wireless stick and the USB stick, clearing settings, etc etc etc. Couple times I had to do a full factory restore to get it to work.

Eventually, I gave up on the USB stuffs and just decided to leave my laptop running and stream everything rather than watch it from a USB drive.

I don't know anything about a 2nd generation device, though. I had mine about 6 months ago, so maybe it was an older one... or it could have just been faulty... I don't know. I chalked it up as "working as intended, but buggy."
