TV won't recognize external hard drive

If I remember correctly, most TVs and video players over USB only recognize FAT partitions, not NTFS. Correct me if I'm wrong here.
ps.
swiftridge40, you're so clueless I can practically see right through you.
Right-click, format, hit Start.
Look, I have a 1TB SanDisk drive where I just reloaded all my movies and shows, and the TV plays them perfectly fine. I checked the info, and it clearly states "File system: NTFS."
It works exactly the same way as my brand new Seagate Expansion.🙂
