Yes it does. It will play Pal also. I haven't played any other region DVDs. There are instructions for other regions but I haven't used that option. Nice player. Hope this helps !!!

No, it does not play hdd (hard disk drive) in any format. Note that NTFS is not the same as NTSC video format.

It has been formatted from the factory as NTFS which works with Windows OS, including Windows 7. No need to worry.

Both NTFS and Fat 32 formatted discs or USB sticks are supported. Cheers! Marty G

Nope. It can only play everything in the order it was stored in your computer and without any breakdows/folders. But that's not the proble, th eproblem it's its poor construction. Mine stopped working after 4 uses.

How? I hooked up my portable hard drive and it did not work! Problem is, its NTSF and not FAT32 formatted. Tried to reformat, and no go there either.

I'm not sure. According to the WD TV live owner's manual, the WD TV live unit looks at the format of what's on the external hard drive connected via USB.

Do you need the disk in to play or does in run of hard drive like an older version like 2000?"

Yes. You'll have to go to the WD website to get.instructions on how to format it using Disk Utility. Not hard, but not plug and play.Hope this helps. Cheers,Steve

FAT32 .. I haven't tried it in ntfs, but for most players you want your usb to be FAT32

I have an external USB hard drive connected and it works fine. You can even play back files from the USB drive. I have a 1 TB external drive.

from what i can read from resesrching - if the drive is less than 1TB it should recognize the device and play

I put in my HDs so long ago, all three of them in three docks, I must have formatted in the docks since they never were in my PC. They are all NTFS now and they didn't come that way.

I try to hook mine up to ex- hard drive via USB and it did not play/or read any of the files.

Yes it does, I just installed a 1 TB Seagate HD in it with no issues, it is a SATA drive.

It would be good to confirm that on a few different models of HDD. Many USB ports on players don't provide power for HDD.

In theory, yes. The PS3 can play media files from an external HDD, just like from a thumb drive. If your TV can play media from a thumb drive, it should also be able to play media from one of these. According to various forums, you should put files in the appropriate folders on an external drive: "Photo", "Music", "Video". You also MUST format the drive as FAT32, not as exFAT or NTFS.
