Accepted Answer

Hii :D 

Samsung says it should work, you can find more information here: https://www.samsung.com/de/support/tv-audio-video/samsung-qled-tv-2018-aufnahme-von-fernsehsendungen/ 
However, before buying, I would check with the exact type of TV to see if it supports it. 

The hard drive would have to be connected to an external power source when the TV is switched off completely, not via the USB charging port on the TV.
