hi guys need some help. Just wanted to know if its possible to format my external HDD into exFAT format store videos on it and connect it up to my TV through its USB port. Would this work out as Windows 8 does not give the "FAT32" option when formatting and TV only picks up FAT32

Look for a program to make partitions with FAT32 in large sizes. The one I use is called Swiss Knife or something like that. I ended up buying it because I had to format so many big drives for customers PS3's, it was worth it but there is probably free alternatives out there.
