Are you also the lucky owner of an LG 47LD450 and want to have it play DivX movies directly from your massive external hard drive?. It’s super easy to do and costs either nothing or very little to do.

Here’s how I did it.
Get a universal remote control from ebay, eBay item #180494866735 One For All URC3920 Slim Design 2 in 1 Universal Remote

• Put some batteries in the remote, and set it up for TV use as follows
• Press TV, then hold the magic button until it flashes twice, then lazily use the search mode to get the right code for the TV by pressing channel + repeatedly
• Once the TV turns off you have the code, so press magic again to store it

Your new remote is now hooked up to talk to your TV,  to finish

• Turn on the TV and point the universal remote at it then press magic once
• Enter 00018, then use the password 0413 to enter the service menu
• Goto menu 3 (third one down)
• Change USB from 0 to 1, then turn the TV off and on again to enable

Now when you goto media on the options screen you will see Movies, Images, and Music! enjoy

Lately I have ordered quite a few items from the usual chinese suppliers on ebay such as laptop keyboards, batteries, power supplies, wii bits a bobs… Now a couple of those things were either crappy quality, delayed, or in one case the seller just wasn’t too cool to do business with.

So I didnt give them positive feedback… what did they do?.. they offered to fully refund me if I just changed it to positive feedback.. which natually I did, how many other people do?.. probably lots…

So I got these OK products from china… and full refunds… just for a feedback switch… good or bad? – well good and bad… don’t know…
