Time capsule - external drive via Ethernet I just bought a Time capsule. At home I have a USB hard drive that I typically use to read divx from connecting it to my tv that is able to play avi files. I'm wondering if I can connect it to the TC via an Ethernet port (that the external drive has) so that it can stay connected to the tv and I can manage movies wirelessly through the capsule.

So:

Mac --&gt; wifi --&gt; time capsule.                    ## CONNECT
time capsule --&gt; Ethernet --&gt; HD.                 ## SHARE FILES
Tv --&gt; USB --&gt; HD.                                ## READ MOVIES
Mac --&gt; wifi --&gt; time capsule --&gt; Ethernet --&gt; HD ## TRANSFER FILES


Hope this makes sense :)
It sounds like your external HD is actually a Network Attached Storage device. If it somehow supports simultaneous access via the network (SMB which is windows file sharing) AND plugged in to USB (to your TV) then that might work out really well. Unfortunately I don't believe that there are devices that can do that.
