USB Stick question

[Mr Men]

Not sure if in right section

Right I have just discovered my t.v has a USB in port, my question is can I download full hd movies to the USB and plug and play?

Hence cutting out the middle man

Blu-ray burner and disks

Suppose it could depend on the T.V's spec mate as some are used just for firmware updates I believe.

It's a Lg 47lh5000 if that's any use to you, I've looked but cannot make head nor tails of it

Hence this post

[Mule]

"supports USB 2.0 for JPEG, MP3, MPEG 2/4 playback and Div X HD playback"

[Mr Men]

"supports USB 2.0 for JPEG, MP3, MPEG 2/4 playback and Div X HD playback"

So is that a yes?

If so is there a need for a file conversion to be done for plug and play or is it a straight hd download plonked on stick

Good to go

You probably just upload it onto the USB then plug it in... try it and find out.

There's some fake ones out there that are priced too good to be true but other than that pretty much anything should do.

Here's the manual for your TV - http://www.lg.com/lgecs.downloadFile....pdf&TC=DwnCmd

You could probably actually go with a usb hard drive if you wanted lots of storage.

I've checked the tech specs and it says it will read MKV files... Virtually all the HD content I've ever found comes in this format (except porn lol).

It also reads NTFS formatted external drives/USB Sticks which means it will let you copy files over 4GB in size to it... Virtually all HD feature length films would require this... The smallest 720p film I've seen is just over that limit. The untouched blu-ray version of Avatar - Extended Edition weighs in at about 36GB...

If you want to download lots of HD stuff and use torrents I reccommend ditch them in favour of a newsgroups subscription and an internet provider that doesn't have a 'fair useage policy '.

8 gig USB sticks are on offer at ALDI from tomorrow
