I just got my WD TV live SMP , excited as read all needed to do was plug & play …
But I must be doing something wrong , as I plugged but no play !
All I want to do is play , files, movies , music ect… from my external hard drive on to my TV
with out having to use computer , also I am NOT interested ( now ) in having connect to the
internet , I just want to use my external HD , but I never see any files from it , all I get is no content
Im using HDMI to TV and my HD to back on media player ( USB ) what else is there ? Do I need
something else?
I’ve tried searching but all I seem to find relates to wired or wireless, not just use of HDrive.
Im such its something simple that I have over looked but … HELP PLEASE
thank you

sorry , as you can tell I dont know much on this …
What Brand or Model External HDD… I have 2 both are Seagate freeagent ( 1 is a 500 & other 1.5 )
What File System you have Formatted it to… now this I just used as they came so not sure about this
Is it AC Powered or is it Usb Powered … AC ( I guess since it plugs into wall !! )
Is it HDD or Flashdrive … HDD
sorry to be so … DUH, but my knowledge on this stuff is all by trial & error , as I have no one to help
so as you can see … I just dont know what the heck I’m doing , just want to try & do it , got too old to go out & have fun so
now I just try & have fun messing with stuff !!
I know 1 thing , I sure wish when I was in school they had computer classes… WOW how old does that make me sound LOL
my TV is Vizio

Those HDD are fine.
Try Reading the Manual … Page 26 “Finding Your Content” (With your HDD Plugged In Select “Local Storage”)
