    The one with the correct icon is

    Manufacturer: PacketVideo
    Model: TwonkyMedia Server

    The one with incorrect icon:

    Manufacturer: Western Digital Corporation
    Model: WD TV Live Hub

    JFI on another Win7 PC the correct icons display for both

    If it's relevant, on right clicking the wrong icon, Media Streaming Options is shown in bold. Clicking this attempts to load something from Network and Sharing Center > Media streaming options, but just shows a white page with "The page failed to load"

    I cannot see Media streaming options in Network and Sharing Center either

    Currently shows Uninstall. I've already tried uninstall/install to no avail. (Install loads the Microsoft Digital Media Renderer Module driver)

    I've just done a firmware update. During this process the icons disappeared briefly before reappearing as before. Just checked my laptop again and the 'Twonky' icon is now shown as a media server, the 'WDTV' icon a media player.

  • On one of my W7 virtual machines I have installed the Digital Media Server Module and now it shows with a green arrow on it and the default on click is to take me to media streaming options now
