MicroUSB with external drive

Hello Folks,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to connect an external USB drive to the 2nd generation (black) ATV?  I see that it was possible with the first generation ATV, but I can’t seem to find how to ‘see’ the drive or even find the NitoTV module for enabling the support.

Thanks.

No - this is not possible.  The micro USB port in the ATV2 is only capable of acting as the client end of a USB link whereas to handle a USB drive it would have to act as a host.
