I have a 1TB my passport external hdd which I have previously used to watch video files direct into my tv. However now any files which I load onto the drive will play ad then freeze at a random point in the video and stop working. Initially i thought it may be a codec problem, but the files play fine on a different usb drive. I have just recently filled up the drive to 450 odd GBs capacity, and it seems that only new files added are affected by the freezing problem. Is this a power issue to the drive or something else? seems very poor that a drive from a reputable and quality brand is not able to source enough power to run via tv usb power
cheers
