Re External Hard drive Query

its on the way

thanks Mickah

 

\got WDTV media player its really cool

i have to ask this question i want to bring the media player over to spain but my hard drive is a bit heavy

so what i want to know is there a Slim light weight external hard drive that i can bring that will work and be powered by the media player etc
my only concern is the tv over there is old and has a scart in back but i may have to get a scart with a yellow red black lead to media player

should these items be brought in luggae or hand luggage through airport

 

yes on ebay they do 500gb or 320GB HD powered by the WDTV, all you need is simple leads (red/white/yellow) they will work over there. Ebay have em all or powercity or DID anywhere do em.

 

So will the : Western Digital My Passport Essential 500GB External Hard drive be powered by the Wdtv ?? when i plug thge drive into my wdtv ???

 

yes it will or any Hard drive thats not powered by a mains

 

Hi the Wdtv meedia player i have my problem is the tv i will be using is a bit old fashioned does not have hdmi socket so i guess i will have to use a Scart to Hdmi is this cable available ???

 

yeah there about 100 euro at pixmania, just use the red/white.yellow until ya change yer tv, or buy a small adapter that connects to these leads and connect the player to the scart socket on the TV

 

Thanks mickah

will the picture be still as good with that connection >

 

I have jusst noiced that on the wdtv player i only have a hdmi slot and a Usb slot so idont think that connection will work

 

Havent a clue, you will just have to buy and it what the quality is like, the WDTV has component out so what I posted will work once connected to the component cables, its a scart adaptor.

But fire away

EDIT: How old is your TV? Does it have a SPDIF connection on it? (like a red light port on the back of it?)
