But then you went and write about a smart TV so I'd get an Apple TV because of LG's not so smart move which was never put to rest. The story starts at http://bgr.com/2013/11/20/lg-smart-tv-spying/
Given the price of 4TB drives that's nearly all of your 200 budget. Where are you shopping?

Hi,
I'm looking to add some network storage to my home setup but I would like it to be able to do the following:
Back-up my macbook
Be able to save any type of file through mac
My TV (LG smart tv) can access the video files on the storage.
Need 2-4tb of storage
under $200.00 if possible
Im sure there are many devices that can do this but I'm not sure how to start.
Can anyone recommend any products
