I am considering purchasing a ReadyNAS unit to store CCTV video. I am sure this is a common question but unfortunately I couldn't find the answer by searching - is there a way to display the video on a television? I see that some unite have an HDMI output but am not clear on whether all it supports is an on-screen menu, or if it can be used to display CCTV type content with a menu overlay.
I'm also new in the world of NAS, actually searching for my first one and hope you can support me: Is the above mentioned question/answer still valid? Meaning that after more then a year the HDMI output is still useless in case of viewing e.g. movies on a TV directly connected to the 316 without a man-in-the-middle?
I could not find an updated status of this by searching. All other details of the device would make me believe, that the 316 is the best choice for what I'm searching for, but if the HDMI is still a useless gimmick, then this would be a direct no-go unfortunately (and also surprising, as other vendors advertize this as a working feature in their products).
Looking forward for a competent answer and stay with best wishes, Robert
