    Gents,
    I have 3 external HDDs with my personal movie collection.

    I would like to have them all connected to my tv,but alas,i only have 2 usb inputs.

    Is there a way?.....Splitter?

    If not, i guess i will need a media player with 3 usb inputs.

    Then my next dilemma is which one to choose,some of my files are 30gb in size,and im on a budget.

    Thoughts?...appreciate you all.

    A "splitter" USB hub should work if the TV can manage more USB storage devices.
    If those HDD drives are portable USB powered you need a Powered USB HUB
    Even a USB 2.0 hub will be sufficient, and most TV's still have only USB 2.0 ports.
    Besides a dedicated media player, another possible option is playing your media from a network share / DLNA server using a PC or other network device.
