ADVERTS 1
This is a mistake right? The 211 has only 1 sat tuner so what they mean is you can watch a recorded show and record another.you will be able to watch one satellite program and record another or record an OTA program...My HD Want List

Big thumbs up on this Tech Chat
Sorting and folders for the EHD was #1 on my list. Fixing Seagate Freeagent problems was #2. Sounds like both will be addressed in a few weeks.
The learning remote will also really come in handy.

I wasn't able to watch but from the posts here I suppose nobody asked about the future possibility of mutiple EHD's via a USB hub. Did I miss any info on this?
I would watch paint drying if it were in HD, and I had several beers.

Proud Staff MemberIf I remember right they said do not connect more than one EHDD, yet... just like that, would have to go back and listen to again but I believe that is what I heard...

Okay, so what's the best deal on a compatible USB HDD to use with the ViP211 as a DVR? I would think that about 250 GB would be more than enough storage for the infrequent and/or casual user. Any recommended HDDs for this upgrade?

Proud Staff MemberIf you do not have a Dvr currently, I wouldn't start off with less than a 500Gig drive...(you would be surprised how fast a 320 gig will fill up)they recommended a WD drive that even has a Dish Dvr Approved sticker on it and said it was available at sears...I have good luck with Seagate / Maxtor drives for my 622 but I swap them out all the time... I have a 500 Gig Seagate eSata drive that has been working as my Directv Dvr drive 24/7 for several months with no problems...as far as deals... I have bought most of mine locally at Wal Mart (thats all we have here) I have ordered a couple from Amazon...(the eSata)
