I've searched the forums but can't find what I'm looking for; any advice is appreciated!
So, what IS the best/easiest/most reliable external hard drive to use with a Hopper with Sling?
DISH is sending me a shiny new HWS to replace one of my original Hoppers, and I want to transfer recorded programs from old to new. I've never used an EHD before; the DISH site suggests a Western Digital My Book AV DVR (which is suppossedly optimized for video and higher heat environments). Unfortunately these seem to be in short supply now. I need something I can pick up in the next few days at a Best Buy or Amazon Prime. DISH has broad requirements: non-USB powered (must be powered separately), have USB 2.0, and be at least 500GB. Suggestions?
