If you're using the WDMyCloud from Western Digital, yes. I have that serving media to all te LGs in my house. I've also played quite a bit of digital content off a USB stick.

I am not sure. It has a great picture but i think it is only able to down stream. Side comment, the remote control is extremely difficult to use! papashey

Only if the TV has a USB port, which is unlikely. An alternative is to connect the drive to a computer that can network or connect directly to the TV.

Yes. The drive works with TV, but will loose signal from file at random intervals while watching a video. This happened to me every time I tried watching a video.

It depends on the device you have. What device are you using with this drive?

Yes, you can connect an external hard drive using one of two USB 2.0 ports (front or rear), and can then watch movies stored on the connected drive in any of the supported formats. If your external drive requires more power than one USB port can provide you may need to consider an externally powered drive like the WD MyBook or similar.

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.

I don't think so ... I has a mini USB that get recognized by your smart tv device ... Maybe you can use it but you should do more research

It should be able to, it reads everything thats below a Blu-ray disc. This type of drive is just really advanced DVD drive.

You only have to look and verify your external hard drive port and if it fits, it will be ok then.

As long as the ports are the same it should . It matched up to my internal hard drive and worked great so well that I now use the hard drive as a external data bucket . Hope that helps

Yes it does which is the reason I bought this model. That said, I can get the USB to recognize my external USB hard drive or android tablet.

I cannot specifically say that a "USB Player" will be recognized. I plugged in a thumb drive and it worked. I have also plugged in an external hard drive through a "Blac X" (USB) and it works flawlessly. I assume that any standard USB device will be recognized and therefore should work. I read the first comment about lousy product and service. That has not been my experience. I emailed a question about using thumbnail displays and received a prompt reply the following day that addressed, and answered, my specific question - it was not a generic automated response.
