Hi Vaibs67, It's great to hear that you find the Sony BRAVIA 5 to be an excellent TV with good technology, and we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to leave a 4-star review! We also want to address your concern regarding the external hard drive immediately. We apologize for any confusion, but we are happy to confirm that the BRAVIA 5 absolutely supports external hard drives for media playback! It sounds like the issue you encountered may be related to the drive's formatting or its power draw exceeding the USB port's output. For future reference, the BRAVIA 5 officially supports external hard drives that use the following specifications: Supported File Systems: FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS Maximum Drive Size: FAT32: Up to 2TB exFAT and NTFS: Up to 32TB If your current external hard drive is formatted outside of these systems or exceeds the size limits, that would explain the connection issue. For a full breakdown of compatible hard drive requirements and additional troubleshooting steps, you can visit: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00148248 We hope this clarifies the situation and helps you get your hard drive connected so you can enjoy all your media!

Hi IsmaelChicago, We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing performance issues with the apps and remote functionality on your BRAVIA 5. This is certainly not the experience we want you to have. To resolve these crashes and connectivity glitches, please try the following troubleshooting steps: 1- Perform a Power Cycle: Unplug the TV power cord from the wall outlet for approximately 2 minutes. Plug it back in and turn the TV on. This performs a soft reset that clears out temporary glitches and refreshes the system memory. 2- Check for System Updates: Ensuring your TV has the latest firmware is vital for app stability. Navigate to: Settings > System > About > System Software Update > Update your TV software. 3- Clear App Data and Cache: If specific apps like Netflix or YouTube are crashing, clearing their stored data can fix the issue: Go to Settings > Apps > [Select the specific app] > Clear data and Clear cache. If these steps do not resolve the issue, we want to help you get your TV back to peak performance. Please contact our dedicated technical support team for further troubleshooting at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv Thank you for considering Sony!
