[QUOTE="welshred, post: 1561044, member: 200925"] I went out and bought a WD passport drive (2tb) as the guy in the shop assured me it would work. I was not so sure as it was bus powered not mains powered but the option was better than mains powered as I'd be moving the drive often between TV and Mac. Took it home, reformatted it to be Mac compatible but it was not recognised by the TV due to the file system (as you pointed out above) which I realised when it did not work. I reformatted it again and the TV then recognised the drive so I thought RESULT...I have cracked it but then it would not play a movie I had put on the drive, the TV would freeze then switch itself off when I played the movie file. My only conclusion is that the TV could not handle the data rate from the drive via bus power so back to the shop I go today for a refund and I'll purchase a mains powered 2tb drive instead. I am confident a mains powered drive will do the trick. [/QUOTE]
