I just purchased a Shield TV, and it will be arriving in a few days.
My understanding is that the Shield TV never actually powers completely off, but goes into a sort of sleep mode.
How does this affect External/Portable HDDs? Ideally, when not in use those drives would power down completely.
Is that possible?
I have an old laptop hd connected to the shield. It never powers down because i can hear the soft buzzing of the spinning plates. But luckily i have a powerstrip with a switch for the tv so i connected the shield to that too
