After further investigation, I noticed that some of my short USB Cables (from a working USB Drive to the LG Smart TV USB Port) work when connected to my LG Smart TV and some don't work. Why is a mystery, because looking at the USB Cables there's absolutely no difference. All of the short USB Cables work when connected to a Laptop or a Desktop Computer. It's only questionable when connecting the LG Smart TV. So if your USB Drive is File System NTFS & the Partition is MBR and the Drive doesn't work on your TV try another short USB Cable until you find one that works.
I have also figured out how to make my USB Drives work on the LG Smart TV. The File System must be NTFS (requires reformating from exFAT) and the Partition must be MBR (Master Boot Record). You can use DiskPart to change to MBR, but this also requires you to clean the Drive (erases everything - becomes an unallocated Drive and you have to use the Disk Wizard to create the Volume). Plus the Folder/File Names can't exceed 100 Characters. Any Folder/File Name over 100 Characters will not show up on the USB Drive when plugged into the Smart TV.
If I had known this I would have reformated 1st to NTFS from exFAT and changed to MBR with my Blank USB Drive. All of my other Seagate USB Drives all loaded with NTFS & MBR, so I never noticed. Given I had copied around 1.5 TB of data on the new USB Drive I had to back it up first before Formatting to NTFS and Partitioning to MBR. This was the time consuming part of the exercise (copying 1.5 TB across multiple USB Drives, so as not to loose any of that data). Quick Formatting and changing to MBR was practically instantaneous (very fast). Back in business, but what a headache. Personally, I think when you select Windows PC Start here, Seagate should auto create a NTFS File System and MBR Partitions. Defaulting to an exFAT File System and GUID Partition Table doesn't work for most Smart TV's.

This is doubly pleasant when you understand that this is, or at least seems to be, a 'spinner'/'platter' drive, to judge by the angelic hum it makes when writing data (the sound is there if you listen closely, but is in no way intrusive). Is that a bad thing? No! Spinner/platter drives are better than EMMC, for my purposes anyway, because they're a lot better at handling repeated writes than an EMMC drive. To qualify that, I purchased this item to store my expanding digital music collection, so I needed something both stable, and tolerant to lots of data writing; an EMMC drive is the former, but not the latter, though the quality does have a bearing.
To really ice the cake, at least when I purchased, the drive came with two years' data recovery for free. There are some pieces in my collection which I won't be able to get back if the drive should fail; should that happen - which I hope it doesn't - then the manufacturers will sort it all out without asking me for a penny.
The second thing that startled me was the size. For someone with small hands and Arthritis, it's perfect. I haven't taken a ruler to it, but it has about the same footprint as a tobacco tin. Gotta love miniaturisation!
What's in the box?
1 x USB external hard disk (size dependent on purchase); it's USB 3 compatible, as indicated by the blue bit in the connector, but it's also backward compatible with USB 2
1 x USB to custom USB connector cable
1 x small amount of guide paperwork
No installer needed, no complicated instructions. The drive comes formatted as ExFAT, meaning it will work with nearly any computer (there is an exception where it will need re-formatting, but to be honest I've never heard of the system in question and anyway, it tells you as much in the guide paperwork). I just plugged it in, let the computer register it, and away I went. Considering my collection amounted to 122GB (and has grown since), and it barely made a dent, I'm happy that my music is secure and future-proof. As far as stability goes, only time will tell, but I've used this brand for micro SD cards in the past and never had trouble with them, so I'm confident.
All in all, I can only call it a great package for a bargain price.
