I have recently bought an LG Smart TV model 42Lb585v-zm and I want to record and pause live tv I know I need to buy a Hard drive but have no idea what kind will work Can anyone help?

To record and pause live TV on your LG Smart TV model 42LB585V-ZM, you'll need a compatible external USB hard drive. Look for a drive that is USB 2.0 or USB 3.0, with a minimum capacity of 160 GB and a maximum of around 2 TB. Ensure that the hard drive is formatted to NTFS or FAT32, as these are typically supported by LG TVs. It's also a good idea to check the TV's user manual for any specific recommendations regarding hard drive compatibility.
