4TB External HD with TV

[[TC]»Elmo«]

The LAN suggestion that Chuck and I made would be most likely to work, whether its Linux based or Windows Media Player/Centre.

As for your router, its capabilities don't really matter for streaming to the TV, because it's inside the network.
Whether you can stream to places other than your house will depend mostly on your internet connection rather than the router itself.


It's probably worth noting that some routers can act as a streaming/media server on their own (no need for a PC) if you plug a USB drive in. You're fairly likely to hit the 2TB issue again though.


The MBR/4k suggestion was just a hunch that should make the drive work with MBR, assuming the reason the TV can't read the disk atm is because of GPT. If the limit is for some other reason, then it won't work and your only option is LAN.
