cant you just plug your harddrive into your cable box or TV or whatever? Should work

Yes, I currently connect to my wireless NAS through the excellent Media Centre application XBMC, however if the WiiU could replace this set up I would have all my gaming and tv and movie watching moved to one single device. A concept that would delight me greatly.

Damn you were to fast  I figured my reply would make you think that  I ment without a WiIU  so I edited it ;)  I ment  if the WiiU can access your cable box  to change tv channels why would it not be able to access the harddrive?
