You can store tv shows and photos along with movies on the unit. However, you are going to have to do somethings for the tv shows and the movies to fit to the unit. If you use media center to record tv shows and movies then the file format will be too big to simply transfer via drag and drop. This will force you to convert the files and then drag and drop. Overall I have a WD but not one of 500GB but I love it because I have a laptop without alot of space on the HDD. This stores all of my files (movies, tv shows, music, photos, and standard files). Works great I have had mine for 5 months now.

Yes it can-- easily, so long as it is properly partitioned and formatted. Oh, and never use quick format. However, with this said, you need to consider what this drive will be storing-- large (video) or small files (typical documents/spreadhseets/etc.) before you do. If you are uncertain how to do so, hit your favorite search engine as there are many pages dedicated to this.

No you can't record. It's good for Netflix, yourube, file sharing, music playing

I own the DVD/VCR player that you purchased. Yes you can record TV shows with it. That is one thing I made sure it could do.

Hi Sonny, I have two of those shelving which flank a 50" HDTV, and one the left unit, a Yamaha RX-A 1030 receiver, and on the top shelf, a fairly heavy Techniques turntable. The 2nd shelf, a stacked broadcast quality 3 head cassette record/playback 17 " unit on the bottom and a Denon dual tray CD recorder/dubbing tray unit. Bottom shelf, a pro vhs record/playback unit. On the 2nd unit on the right of the TV-top shelf, a Onkyo 6 tray CD carousel playback deck. The 2nd shelf, a Teac CD rec/pb which records from adjustable record digital sample rates to a recordable USB flash drive. The 3rd shelf is a DVD / VHS rec/pb unit. The bottom shelf just has decorative accessories on it. This should hold the weight and is very attractive. Hope this helps. Any questions, feel free to write. Be we'll. Dana Kott dkott@dc.rr.com

No, it isn't designed to be a storage unit, only to manage your tv signal to your pc. It works in conjunction with windows media center to do recordings. You need to use your storage on your pc.

no you cant, but it has plenty to use for cd's and way more if you do dvd's.

Yes, as long as your drive uses a USB connection. I used my WD My Passport external drive to save recordings I wanted to keep permanently.

Yes. There is plenty of room for DVDs as the inside section has a small compartment up top and a larger one on the bottom. They would fit stacked. Hope this helps! : )

This one works best for CDs. There is another tower made the same way for DVDs. I have several of each in an effort to make the most of the storage capacity.

Yes, any type of data can be stored on it; however, if you are storing photos on it make sure that you store them in a format that can be viewed by whatever you may place the disc in (i.e. my DVD player can display photos on a disc that are in JPEG format, etc)

I have used it to record episodes of t.v. shows and a few football games to DVD. I was able to watch them later with no issues. Note: I use broadcast television. I do not have cable or satellite.
