If I connect a HDMI from the Converter Box to the TV & Connect a Flash Drive w/Movies to the USB port, would I be able to watch them on the TV?

I don't know, I have never tried this, but I know I use this box to make TV pictures real clear that are unclear on some stations with out the box.

Cannot answer your question but here is what I have found. First, I do NOT used the HDMI plug as I connect the Ematic to an analog TV. Videos in the "avi" format will not play in that setup but the "mp4" format and the "mpg" format will (the "mpg" format is what my Sony video recorder provides).

If they are in the right format. But I do know there is a list in the manual. I can record on to a flash drive and play it back

There are devices available, that will help you to do it - USB Portable Media Players. It connects to the TV and you just need to plug in the portable drive into it to be able to watch the movies on TV.I personally have an Iomega screenplay media drive that is an external hard drive with capability to plug into tv to watch the movies.

I think you are asking if you can plug the USB cord on the device to a USB port on the TV? I don't know for sure if it will work. I do think that the USB cord is just providing power to the converter, so as long as the port it is plugged into provides power, it should work. The only reason I can think of for doing this, is that you don't have an open USB port on your computer.

While i have not tried to play AVI or MP4 files through the USB, i don't think the TV will act a media player - the user's manual indicates traditional image and music files are supported, no mention of video files being suppported for playback.

We have our DVD hooked to one of the two HDMI ports, there is one USB port. Our Direct TV is hooked up via cable.

The USB port on your TV would only be for providing power to the Rikomagic. You still need a HDMI port for video. Since you have more devices than input ports on your TV, you may have to purchase a HDMI switch to handle more devices.

Lee: I have not had that much success using a USB Flash drive on my Vizio 50" so I use my Sony 3D/BluRay, but it does not seem to like some MK4 videos. Therefore, I normally connect my laptop to the Vizio and play videos off the laptop through the HDMI port and using DVD13 or TMT6 software. Hope that information helps. Boyd

I am sorry, I've never done that...in fact..I didn't even know it had a USB lol I bought it cause I had accidentally purchased some dvds from the wrong region, still my primary dvd player though, GREAT picture quality with the HDMI up conversion...

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.

You have to check the features off the Smart TV.Normally usb at TV levels are for pictures(cameras etc.) and mp3 music.streaming a High Resolution movie requires Caching and video related hardware.if Smart TV says it does mp4 then your movies have to be in that format.This USB is backward compatible.What you as is more off feature on the TV than this unit.If TV says it does avi,mp4 no problem.i have a cheap core2 duo optiplex and use Big Tv Screen as monitor,and watch anything i want.hope this helps

Yes, I also use it to watch Hulu plus, and movies on a usb port. You can also connect to Redbox, but I have not done that. I am happy with this purchase and would recommend it without hesitation

No. USB adapters only transfer data (files like documents, pictures, etc.). This product will not project your computer screen, no matter the age of the TV. In fact, I have no idea why a product like this was ever made. Do not purchase it.

Yes, although I never used it. The directions stated that you can play movies from the usb port.

What I did was converted anything I wanted to watch to avi. Thru a program called format factory. N make sure ur usb flash drive is no bigger than 4GB. Or else it won't work.

no, you would need an usb to hdmi adapter I assume. As it is it has usb ports only
