Any way to transfer DVR'd Stuff?

**kane1514** · 01-28-2009 11:12 AM

K so i have 2 721's and since they are probably going to want me to trade them back in do i just lose everything i have on there? I have a couple external HD's but the last time i tried to hook one to it .... it didnt even recognise it.

I've been using a Hava Titanium HD to archive stuff to an external hard drive and can stream it to any computer on my network and over the internet.

721's do not support external drives.

Receivers that support external hard drives:

ViP 612 DVR™
ViP 622 DVR™
ViP 722 DVR™

How bad do you want to save your stuff?? If you can gain axx to the HD in the units you culd hook them up to a PC then boot parted magic livecd (download.coX). Once in parted you can transfer all folders to PC hd .. once you recev new systems get the exturnal HD activated and format HD on new 722. Then use parted to transfer off your pc to the exturnal HD and enjoy!1

*Note* do your best to not to make it look like you oppend the recever..If you break it you just bought it!!!

Do you have a DVD recorder? That would be another option.

I bought one at Best Buy, recorded stuff off that I really wanted (you have to play it back in real time on the TV), then returned the recorder for a full refund. Best Buy does not charge a re-stocking fee on DVD recorders and if you pack it back up carefully retaping to box right, the sales clerks don't look at the box that well.

But you didn't hear that from me......

Hello MT
Can you elaborate as to how you do the above? You have me curious.
Thanks,

That's just sad.
