Post subject:  USB USB USB hub hub hub?

My goal, I have a hard drive USB, and I want to be able to access it over my airport extreme base station, no problem connect it via the USB port, I also have another USB hard drive to connect to the base station, no problem get a hub.

This is where it gets tricky, I want to connect one of the hard drives to a WD TV via USB, as far as I know the WD TV doesn't support hubs without a hack which I don't mind, but was wondering if there was another way?

I don't quite follow.

You want to plug a hard drive into a hub, and then plug two devices into that hub so both devices can access the drive?

I don't believe you can split USB as such, you can share a USB device between multiple computers with a peripheral switch

Not sure that's going to do what you need though.
