they list USB 2.0 connectivity as a "No", so I'm guessing that's meant for firmware upgrades only. And confirmed on page 25 of the manual (http/www.lg.com/uk/support/support-product/lg-26LD320), which identifies the USB port as a "USB IN SERVICE ONLY" port.

^^ That's a good point too. There;s a few threads around suggesting hacks etc for that model, so it may officially be 'firmware only'.
An example of another 'complaint': http

I too had a problem with this, one LG TV claiming a problem on the USB drive.
It could be a number of things so the answers below are not necessarily wrong and it would pay you to check them off as you go.
but what I discovered was in my case was it was down to the Master Boot record of the device I was trying to connect to the TV.
The device in question I was trying to connect was using the newer "GUI Partition Table" instead of the current "Master Boot Record". The TV in question simply did not recognize GPT. As soon as I changed GPT to MBR the TV immediately recognize the drive.
