Sorry matey, the USB on the LG TV's don't support video clips. only JPEGs and MP3's....

I'm not sure what hard drive you're trying to plug in to the TV.... that TV can't accept a Hard drive connection.... you need to provide model numbers or it won't make any sense!!....

my hard drive is a Go Seagate FreeAgent Go 120GB Hard Drive 2.5" 5400RPM 8MB USB2.0

trust me, if you connect that up to the TV (directly, using USB) then the TV will ONLY display pictures and music. NOT movies. There are a couple of other makes of TV (Panasonic?) that support movies (MP4 or Divx perhaps) via USB but not LG.

Sorry, to clarify - you can't get the hard drive to work at all - even with image files..?

Once I'm sure what the problem is I can pass on to LG's techies if need be

Thanks!
