Advice about which hard drive to buy for LG TV

[Ted W]

Hi
I've got an LG Smart TV 43UM  7400PLB and am looking to buy an external hard drive so I can pause live TV and record programs. I'm currently using a much smaller capacity USB which can't pause live TV and will soon be full. 
I've read on various forums that certain hard drives won't work or that I'll need to buy a certain connecting cable. 

I was thinking of buying a Seagate 2TB drive, (STGX2000400) which is around £55.

Can anyone recommend one or confirm that the Seagate one will be okay.

Thanks.

I can confirm that the following 1TB self powered Seagate USB Hard disk works very well, with my LG Smart TV.

It is an older USB disk drive but still keeps up recording high definition TV without any problems.

Hi. 
Many thanks for the reply. I’ll order the drive.  There are so many options out there, thought best to check.
Much appreciated.
