| | I'm not up on external HDDs and DVRs that much, but I know at one time the ability to move EHDs between DVRs was rather limited. It was more set up for hooking up an EHD to a "new" DVR, not for swapping. Has that changed ? |

Which begs the question, if you're not up on these things, why answer the question in the first place ????? |

| | | Easy solution, manually move the EHD from one Dvr to another. Been doin it since EHD activation has been avaliable. If there is a conflict on the 622 i record it on the 722 and vice versa. |

I had the same thought myself but yaz beat me to saying it. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
