Connecting TB drive direct to TV

Kaise

right then, knowledge of forumers needed.....


i want to be able to connect my TB drive direct to my TV so i can watch the films without going though my macbook. I there any type of interface box you have heard off/used that basically houses the player software only and then the picture is shown on the TV?

I was going to do this and then as i add films to the collect i can just transfer them on to the drive.

Cheers

Hi Kaiser!

I use one of these:

http://www.asus.com/Search/?SearchKey=o!play

It works pretty well and reads all movie formats I feed it.

I've got the O!Play HDP-R1, without internal disk.

and the TV is?

does it have a player in it?

if no then you will need a media player.

sorry, being a bit retarded

Its an LG 32" LCD, it doesnt have a USB connectionso i need some kind of player, just been looking the asus player and wondered what the channels are like. I mean its all well and good having access to 5000 chennels but are any of them worth watching?

I honestly have no idea what channels you're talking about. :?

it states that it can access internet TV channels, thats what i was reffering to

bentes

Yes it does state that but I didn't even noticed it, sorry!

I only use my box "offline" to watch movies, so can't help you with the online channels.
