Smart TVs, STBs, etc. tend to have a DLNA client, which should be able to stream content from your home DLNA server/PVR box. Some also work with SAMBA and perhaps NFS?
Which doesn't sound like what I'm looking for at all ... do you mean I can run the DLNA client on the TV, connect to the network, and PLAY any media files I find? Which is no use whatsoever when I go away with my portable TV and don't have access to my home network.
I want a SERVER running on the TV, so I can - on my laptop! - "mount //TV/USB-drive/A", and copy stuff FROM my laptop TO the USB, while it's physically connected to the TV!
Especially if I've got 2 terabytes of hard drive physically attached to the TV, I don't want to have to keep on disconnecting/reconnecting the disk to copy stuff on to it.
