Can it be plugged directly to TV and play?

No, it is not a standalone player - it's possible that the TV could have a USB port and player firmware built in, but I don't know any TVs that do that. There is no HDMI port on the drive.

Sorry, I've never tried it. I simply plug this to my laptop thats plugged in to my TV via HDMI cable.

I haven't tried that but I don't think you could except maybe through a laptop or possibly a Bose system or auxiliary component connection.

No. you cannot plug your cable directly into this. if you have a cable box with an HDMI output you can plug that into this unit to send to your TV.I believe the two input types are HDMI and VGA.

Yes, as long as its connected to a TV or PC (or perhaps a tablet, not sure) and you have a suitable playback program like VLC or Realplayer.

No. This devise is strictly for TVs, perhaps some radios, recorders and the like. It has to be plugged in. Sorry

If your TV has a headphone jack you can, but you would need to attach 3.5mm extension cord to reach where you want it. This is not a wireless headphone.

You should be able to. The player had RCA, component, S-video and HDMI connections.

If you are asking if you can hook this up directly to your tv/dvd/vcr etc with RCA jacks, then yes.

Yes if your TV has a headphone jack they can plug right up into the headphone jack. That's how I use mine.

No. It requires a digital optical cable (Toslink). Most new TV's have an optical output on them so connection should be simple.

I dont think so. Unless you had some kind of adapter. It has numerous av wires that need to be plugged in!

Yes. I've used mine that way. It can play and connect when plugged in and charging.

no. It plugs directly into the tv with HDMI. And plugs into usb for power, depending on the tv. Put a wireless keyboard and mouse with it and it IS a computer.

yes, however you will need to get the correct cables to connect to TV. The player does not come with them

yes... you have to let Direct TV know before it will work.. I tried hooking it up before calling and it did not work

Not directly... You'll need an adaptor with an on/off switch on the cord... Cord is only about 3 ft long

Nope. That's why it's a subpar unit. Good sound as a tuner. Can't play off of USB. Unless connected to tv via RCA cables. No hdmi. Don't buy it.
