I got a Sony Smart TV with LAN port, will it see the hard drive attached to Pogoplug for movie streaming?

The problem that i have with Pogoplug is that you need a hard drive that has the power adapter connected directly to the power outlet, if you have a hard drive that works only with the power from a usb it will not work, since pogoplug goes in to sleep mode and disconnects all of the media attached .. respondong to the original question yes it will see the Hard drive since it will be connected to the same modem ( router )

Kent and Janean: sorry I did not understand the question. I do not have an answer since my bluray player has always been hardwired ethernet cable. Quick search does not identify a wifi connection that will work with Sony other than what Sony sells. Amazon shows it at $64.95.

Only if the TV has a USB port, which is unlikely. An alternative is to connect the drive to a computer that can network or connect directly to the TV.

Yes it does. I had no problem connecting it to my wired lan and access the AllShare (pc program) shares from my desktop at home. The downsides are that I could not update the firmware via web so I had to do it manually using a usb pen drive. Also I couldn't make Netflix to work on this device even thought it was so easy to do on the smart tv of the same vendor. If you are interested in using it for Netflix I would recommend you to stay away from this model (and maybe you should try a gaming console like the PS3 which let you play Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, HULU, Crunchyroll, etc or another blu ray player model).

We are so sorry that there is not hard drive installed, you can purcahse it yourself and install it. Sure you can hook it to your TV, it has three video output interface: BNC/VGA/HDMI, thank you.

Depends on your use, I love the fact that I can send files and retrieve files from anywhere in the world. Plus the Pogoplug can read any file system that your current usb HD is formatted to. No need to format it to a specific filesystem, which saves time if you need to unplug a drive to connect directly to your computer. It is a zeroconfig device as well, takes about 60seconds to get it online and sharing, no need to port forward on the router to gain access to the drives - this is all done through the device. The folder sharing thing is awesome, see my review on how i publish rss feeds for friends and family. I have tried router based NAS solutions in the past, and have been frustrated with lack of features and usability. The Pogoplug is getting better with each firmware update, which incidentally you do not need to do manually; they push it to you. There have been some hickups, however their support has been outstanding in getting them resolved in a quick, timely fashion. Hope this helps!

No. Hard drive has no way to configure the ethernet adapter. You would need a hard drive that has it built in or a pc that could share the drive or some routers have a USB port that can share the drive out.

yes the ugoo7b should see your Nas as a media serverjust add a new source on the your video files or audio files and we should have an option to see any network devices on your network

Hello!I first bought this with a total backup solution for my home network and found that it was also perfect for streaming movies and videos to my Boxee Box and LG BluRay player.Absolutely recommend this but will caution you that mine is hooked up via a network and not plugged directly into a Smart TV. I do use it via the Ethernet port.Hope this was helpful and feel free to ask more...

Hello Timonthy p Demco, thank you for your message. In regards to your question, this particular model number of Blu-ray disc player does have an Ethernet jack that would allow you to plug a LAN cable. For more information, check this link: https://docs.sony.com/release/BDPS1200_BX120_S3200_BX320_S5200_BX520.pdf-Oscar.

There are devices available, that will help you to do it - USB Portable Media Players. It connects to the TV and you just need to plug in the portable drive into it to be able to watch the movies on TV.I personally have an Iomega screenplay media drive that is an external hard drive with capability to plug into tv to watch the movies.

I'm sorry, I don't have the answer for that question, I only use it to connect my laptop to the smarttv.

yes. just plug the HardDrive or USB stick to the USB port on the router and turn file sharing on from configuration

I've sucessfully done that with my 128GB Patriot drive. Just be sure that the video format of the files on the drive is supported by the TV you have.

If I understand correctly, this should work with any device that has an ethernet (LAN) port. Basically, you connect the Netgear to your network wirelessly and then connect your Sony device to the Netgear with an ethernet cable (RJ45). That way, your Sony device thinks it's hard-wired to the internet. Again, you must make sure the Sony offers an ethernet input for this to work. No need for proprietary (and expensive) adapters.

Yes, it will show up in your local explorer under network/router if you attach it to the router. works as just another drive if it is attached direct.
