Hello,

I was wondering if anybody could help me, I have a brand new Samsung HDTV series 8 tv..It has the capability of plugging a USB Device into the side of the TV where we can stream media files directly on the TV without needing to purchasing a DIVX player with USB support etc..

I have a 500gb harddrive where I download everything to, When I plug the external hard drive straight into the TV nothing happens and it will not recognize the device! But a normal 2GB USB works fine?

Can anybody help me to get this set up so i can just plug the external harddrive straight to the TV??

Much appreciated,

Jon
