Thank you for your interest in our products. No that will not work with this external drive.

You'll have to have an extrenal CD/or DVD drive to do the installation. You can buy one on Amazon for a very small price. After that, you will NOT need to have the external optical drive plugged in.

it should work automatically. In my case i just put the blue ray disk in to the optical player and thats it, i don't have any problem in that case

No, because most USB port in TV is only for input such as pictures stored on a flash drive. TV itself must support Bluetooth profiles such as A2DP/AVRCP and most of them don't.

yes.. just be sure the "software" will play MTS (transport streams) and the USB drive has enough storage space 1 hr of high def video is approx 16bg streams are blu-ray compatible i play them with VLC player and Media player classic

Nope. This adapter was designed for Micro SATA connections. Full size drives use SATA connections. USB would also be too slow/not enough power to run a Blu Ray Drive.

Hello Sergio, it should work with TV and Blu-rays. I use mine with my Samsung SmartTv and it reads the drive just fine. I would suggest reformatting the drive.

Yes if your WD HD is connected to the wi fi . If your HD has USB. You can connect that to the WD TV play USB input and it will play from there with out Wi Fi.

I don't think this is going to give you a complete yes. I did not hang onto the operating instructions for the additional features because my ROKU box does every thing I need. There is on top of the dvd player a sticker with an icon next to the built in apps. The sticker shows a section for usb that supports SD, music and photo/video. I am sorry but I have never tried the usb port.

Sorry...I don't have a TV. I use my computer to download all my cable video entertainment from the internet and watch videos on my monitor. However, I'm sure you will need some kind of a portable "multimedia player" installed on the Toshiba hard drive to play audio/video files on a smart TV. I took a look at a LG TV and it had both 2.0 and 3.0 USB ports. So unless the TV has "multimedia player" capability of its own you are going to have to bring in this capability from the Toshiba hard drive. You might want to take a look at DVico's Slim S1 [combo hard drive & multimedia player...] this unit connects usb/hdmi to a TV. Sorry...I don't have a TV.

Yes, and it works fine for watching BD even when plugged into a USB 2.0 port. If you plan to burn BluRay then you would would be more within spec using a USB 3.0 port, but my Vantec came with a USB 2.0 cable which is what I tested BlueRay playing with using the USB 2.0 port. The SATA 3 motherboard connectors are only marginally faster than USB 3.0 (6MB/sec vs. 5 MB/Sec).

I don't believe so I never tried. I just used it to simply watch DVDs. But I'm pretty sure you can't.

No it doesn't. Maybe you can use an smart TV app that records to an attached hard drive via one of the USB ports on the tv. But not sure if could work

It won't play blue ray files as they come in blue ray discs. They need to be remuxed or converted to Mkv or Avi. You should be able to plug your 2TB drive.

Yes no problems I use it connected directly to my Samsung smart blueray device...works excellent

yes, it might not read a blu-ray till the drivers are fully installed, but it will read a DVD install disk

I just plugged my amazon fire into the DVD port of the receiver. It works fine that way. I still have the BVD port available for the Blue Ray player.
