I found that it had a USB input, I figured it would be fairly useless, but I plugged in my external drive just to see, and what do you know... it'll play movies, music, and I can view my pictures that are on there. I haven't tried other file types... but now I'm going to get another drive to dedicate to my movie collection.

TV's now typically have a built in media player.  How old is your TV?

Dont all TV's come with that now? Or just hookups so you can plug your PC straight into it.

hooking up a PC vs just a hard drive are really totally different things.

TVs come with all kinda of useless crap now.
Network connection, old A/V connections, USB ports, SD and CF card slots, and a bunch of other stuff.

Why? If I can hook up a PC to my TV via HDMI why is that any different than a HD... I could just plug the HD into my pc and hook that up to my TV via HDMI and it would work the same way wouldnt it?

Hooking up a PC to your TV is just using the TV as a monitor, connecting a HD via usb directly to the TV and being able to watch the movies contained takes the PC out of the loop.

So I can use my laptop to talk to you freaks and watch a movie at the same time.

Cant you just set up your TV as a dual monitor and talk to us at the same time?

I can't sit that close to my TV and still have vision... didn't your mom ever tell you not to sit so close?
