More than likely it doesn't support USB 2.0 or the filesystem you have on it

fairly certain its the filesystem format. most TV's (and xbox 360 and PS3 for that matter) only support FAT32. if its formatted to NTFS, you're going to have to reformat it to FAT32, and you will lose any data you leave on the HDD while doing this. also, you wont be able to put a file on a FAT32 volume thats bigger than 4gb. usually isnt a problem unless you're watching bluray iso movies or something?
