MICHAELA asks:
I have an external hard drive with AVI files on it and I’d like to play them on my TV. I don’t have a USB socket on the back of my TV or my surround sound system. Will the video work if I buy a USB to Scart cable.

You will need either a PC or a TV media player to connect to your TV.
The easiest and cheapest is probably this Diamond Media Player, http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Media-Wonder-Mini-Player/dp/B003FZBLUK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1324975574&sr=8-5 , That will player media files from your Hard drive.

December 27, 2011Hello, usually scart to USB cables can be used if you want to record and backup content from analog devices. I do not think It would recognize and external drive.

you should be able to stream to it using UPnP/DLNA
connect your computer to the TV and use it to play your media. http://www.ehow.com/how_4457043_connect-pc-hdmi-tv.html
