Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 2998 Registered: Jan-08 | You have USB port on TV you can try it. USB port can read picture and Video in MPEG and AVI as a receiver but i dont think that can read DVD files and i dont think TV have driver for Hard disk. Maybe yes Give your Model i want check the spec. King he dont need it, he only connect on VGA like a monitor. I do that on mine and it work fine VGA is better then RGB |

Note that many movies broadcast since 1st July can only be recorded and viewed for a few days and then security does not allow that. That's what I read but I have not had time to experiment. |
