Mpeg-2 ts video playback

    I have a Toshiba Windows 8 laptop and am trying to playback recordings from a SanDisk USB drive that I had installed in my Ferguson Ariva 153 box on my laptop. The recordings are in the format mpeg-2 TS.

    However, when I try to play it back through windows media player, the sound comes through but no video.

    Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to play the recordings?

    The options when I am formatting the USB drive in the Ariva box is either NTFS or FAT if that helps anyone. Neither appear to work.

    Have also tried to playback through the usb port in my television unsuccessfully. Not that au fait with the technical formatting so would appreciate any help. Apologies if posted in wrong section!

    Windows Media Player is awful, use VLC which will play any format you throw at it.

    TV's have quite limited formats (simple AVI, MPG etc.) so you are most likely out of luck there, you can connect your computer to the TV and play it that way or just play directly off your Ferguson. Or alternatively, depending if your TV is smart or not, you can use DLNA software to make the media available to stream on your TV.
