As a beginner, i would like to connect seagate external drive to tv and use as a recorder

did you install the enhanced drive as instructed
if not don't complain

Probably, the new operating system cannot recognize your Seagate external hard drive. You can connect the Seagate external hard drive to another computer to copy data to another device. If the problem still exists, you might need to perform data recovery. You can free download the data recovery software: http://www.icare-recovery.com/seagate-recovery/seagate-external-cannot-be-recognized.html

If by "quick connect" you mean the Thunderbolt adapter, this driver link may help:

For other software and drivers for this model, see the main link:

you just ask sony people whether it is capable of playing external hard drive or not

in article < The LaCie 1TB Big Disk Extreme Hard Drive with Triple Interface available on the Apple Store looks interesting. The reviews of it and some of the other capacities in the range indicate it is quiet. Anyone used one from that range? Stream it how? I've just tried to watch a a DVD in DVD Player from a VIDEO_TS folder stored on the Mac Pro and shared over the wireless Airport Extreme network. It was very poor. Video and Audio stopping every few frames

My Answer For you no external hard drive is with the unit buy one!! More Info Seagate.com look it up under tech support Hope This helps!! Donald Deane MCSE,ASE,CPO

No, it can be used only to play movies that are already in it on the tv.

Hi,
Have you tried uninstalling your seagate free agent software, restarting your computer and installing it again?

Bought TV on previso usb recording is a true function ---- happy to say this tv does indeed record to usb file format is MPG so all good

I bought PC Beginner from www.PCbeginner.com . It has programs that I have used to recover photos. It has other good utilities on it too. It's a good disk to have.
