SOURCE: Just bought a Panasonic TX-P42G10B 42in 600Hz Full

Use a good quality scart leads for starters.
connect oon end to tv and the other labeled tv on sky box. The other is labeled vcr. connect another lead from vcr or dvd to that connection.
If you have a hd dvd player or Bluray, then buy a HDMI lead and connect straight to one of the HDMI inputs on the tv. I know this is late but i hope it still helps you and anybody else who may read this.

SOURCE: I own a LG Plasma

The USB port on the TV might not have enough power to power the external hard drive. Can you try putting a movie on a USB memory stick instead, and see if that works?

CONNECT I PHONE TO VIZIO TV USB PORT AND WATCH NETFLIX.

Vizio doesn't support phone connect - only USB drive (ie thumbdrive type) - With correct USB, TV will show USB as a 'Source' - and if selected will show the files on the USB, but can only open / view folders, images, and video types.

I have a 2.0Tb Seagate external hard drive that will not record from my Bauhn TV. I have transfered SQ files to it and they play, but requests formatting to record.

To use the PVR record function on Bauhn TV's you MUST "Format" your Hard Drive or USB device as "FAT32" using the formatting options built into and supplied with the said Bauhn TV. There have been relatively recent changes made to the FAT32 formatting system which now allows you to format very large drives to FAT32. These changes were made after requests from manufacturers like Bauhn so that they could incorporate PVR functions into the TV set itself. I run a 1.5 Terabyte Drive with my Bauhn and it performs beautifully. I won't say that I hope this helps because "I know it will" :) Cheers.......
PS: The resultant files will have the extension SQ rather then MGP of FLV etc etc. I can't get these SQ files to play back on my PC albeit that they do play back perfectly on the Bauhn TV. If anyone knows of a program/player that will allow playback of SQ files on PC's then it would be great if you could post it up here.

Check the usb port function in the computer bios settings and be sure that it is set to yes. Connect properly your external drive. If it has two wire usb connections, use both to obtain the maximum power that will be need by your drive.

I ripped Bluray movies using "ANY DVD HD" to my hardrive then playing them through "WD TV Live HD Media Player" (using HDMI cable to Sony Bravia HD L.C.D.TV) some movies work good but others play the video...

Either check around in Any DVD HD or the BluRay menu to set audio output to PCM, which doesn't require any decoding to play back properly or you will have to convert them separately.
