Hello, I´m actually have this setup: 1TB Lacie external hard disk connected using airport extreme USB port, it has 3 partitions: time machine, movies and backups.

I thought buy a media center and put the hard drive (SATA) that I already have from Lacie.

The problems start now, I want to connect this media center using AEBS USB to access and share the movies partition and also maintain time machine functionality under my wireless network.

AEBS only recognizes HFS+ or FAT32 file systems and almost media centers are compatible only with ntfs or FAT32, I read that FAT32 has limitations with files with more of 4GB, this is not a problem because I´m not intend to use HD media but also partitions limited to 32GB?

I need a recommendation for a media center that could fulfill my expectations.

My budget is low and I´m thinking getting on eBay Dvico Tvix 4100 or Lacie lacinema.
