Thank you. I'm up & running now, so I can record all the football I want (without hearing the wife gripe about me hogging the DVR)!!! :D

Been on vacation & now I'm finally ready to hook up my WD20EARX (using Thermaltake BlacX for ESATA) to my HR22. Is there anything I need to do before connecting this to my DVR? Instructions in the box mention hooking it up to my computer to format the hard drive. Is that just for if I'm using...

FWIW the Thermaltake BlacX N0028USU does not work with the Directv DVR's. It is for "USB", not "ESATA". I had to send it back & exchanged for model #ST0005U. Newegg.com - Thermaltake BlacX ST0005U External Hard Drive SATA Enclosure Docking Station 2.5” & 3.5” USB 2.0 & eSATA

Just to be clear, the Tivo I'm considering is for my daughters room. I don't even want whole home access for it. I'd rather just click on the play list & have nothing but her cartoons in her room. I'd also like to be able to record shows from the Tivo play list to a DVD recorder. I have no...

I'm still not getting what store this is referring to. Is this that "solid signal" website? If I decided to get the HR24 (instead of the Tivo), where do I go to be sure I get that model?

I'm really too dumb to know all the technical lingo, but I'll try to post a picture of the adapter that's attached to the HR22. In case the pic doesn't work, it's a "Connected Home Adapter" DCA2SR0-01. It has a blue ethernet cord going from the adapter to the back of the DVR. And there a...

What is the dish store route?

Is an HR24 the one I'd be buying for $199? The one I'm having problems with is a HR22. What's the difference between these & can I request the 24 at the same price?

Thanks for the replies. The main reason I'm considering the Tivo is because we had a great experience when we had them from 2001-2007. I felt the remote & menu was very user friendly & we hardly ever had any problems. I also liked being able to copy recordings to DVD (mainly football games &...

When we first signed up, I was told by more than one sales rep that we could definitely pause live tv in every room (with the HMC HD DVR). So I didn't think I needed another DVR. Turns out you can only pause "recorded" programs. We also didn't think we would be running low on recording space...

We recently switched to DirecTV (from Dish) & we're considering getting a Tivo to put in our daughter's room. She likes to be able to pause live TV, & we'd also prefer to have her recordings seperate from all our others. We have the HMC (HR-34) in our living room, an HR-22 in the master...

Thank you very much!! :)

Thanks for the tips guys. Question: since these are "internal" hard drives, does that mean they need to be installed inside the DVR? Or do you still just plug them into the SATA slot in the back of the DVR?

Sorry if that sounded like I was being a jerk about your link. Appreciate the suggestion. But when I looked at the thread & it had 48 pages with only 1 comment from 2012, I thought there might be more current info.

Thanks, but I've already looked at that thread & it seems like really old info. With the way technology changes nowadays, surely there's something more current than 2007-2011. :confused: Can somebody that's familiar with this situation please just tell me?
