| 1489527 | 2022-12-03 22:51:00 | I have a couple of USB sticks that I can plug into the TV and watch some videos. Works fine. I also have two 1TB HDDs which the TV does not recognise and I wonder why not. They work perfectly well plugged into the laptop, so I wondered what's the difference between the USB stick and the HDD? I will be interested to hear why that is and if there is any way I can play the HDD on the TV. Thanks for your help.:thanks |

| 1489529 | 2022-12-04 17:32:00 | Thank you Psycik. I had a look. The USB is ex fat and the HDD is NTFS, just as you say. So obviously the TV does not like NTFS. That's solved that one. Much appreciated. |
