That depends on the TV. Should be in the user manual. But since you didn't mention the model number nor link to that user manual, it's impossible to say if your TV can do that and - if it can - how to configure it and what disks (size, filesystem) and filetypes it can read.

So that's something for you to find out yourself.

Your top post and first reply didn't include the model number or manual so no one could check to see if the TV could do that.

It appears you don't think that detail mattered but it does. The Boxee and similar devices will connect if configured properly and your network is configured too. Let me share a link about a setting that blocks access next.

Now imagine the usual Smart TV owner. No where in the TV manual is that information or tip. But as you are the person creating the network, you are expected to configure such to allow this to work.
