Currently my Samsung UE46ES8000 Television will play most movie types from directly attached USB storage (USB flashdrive/ USB hardrive etc).
If you try to stream the same files over the wifi/ethernet network connection using Windows Media Server or Samsung Allshare, the filetypes are "not supported" and you need to run a seperate media server like "PS3 Media Server" software which is massively annoying!
This also means that in all likelyhood you wouldnt be able to stream the same files if they were on a regular NAS.
