Thanks a million for that link, bhawley, but this looks super technical for me. I'd definitely mess that up somewhere along the line. Probably will just use the receiver.

Some baby sitting would be required. I'd have to move a few recordings at a time to the receiver from the old drive, plug in the new one, the send them back to the new one, then plug back in the old one, move a few more recordings to the receiver, then to the new one, etc, etc, etc... This is...

My first EHD was WD but WD has quit manufacturing the "MyBook" line of EHDs, so I had to go with Seagate for the new one.

Please let me know if this question has already been addressed in another thread; couldn't find one upon a quick search of the forum. I have a Dish Network 722 hooked up to an external hard drive. The EHD has recently become full, so I went and bought a new EHD. However, I want to split up the...

Ok, let me start by first defending myself a bit and saying - i don't post much on satelliteguys.us, so don't beat me up if this has already been discussed in another thread somewhere in the hundreds of threads i've been looking through for this answer. So I thought I might try here. If you know...

If i have timers that are set up to record on some sort of regular basis, will those automatically restore, or will i have to go through and reset up all my daily and weekly timers? or does this just affect the timers that are just set for "once", such as a movie? also, i notice you are using...

gdarwin, i found it, however, when i click on it, i get a warning message that says "you will lose your timers, are you sure, YES or NO?" I clicked NO because i wanted to check with you and see what that means. I'll lose all my timers?

Thank you all for your responses. To gdarwin, can you give me the instructions on how to turn this off so the same channel doesn't show up multiple times in the guide. Sometimes I just like to surf the guide to see whats on and it confuses me. (I realize that I can set up a "favorites" guide if...

New customer question Hi all. I am a new customer too. Only had Dish NW for about a month. First of all, let me just start by saying i've been reading and searching these forums all night, and i came across this thread, and this one looked like the best one to post my "new customer" questions...

one more question, i see that best buy carries a external hard drive specifically for DVRs. here's the link Western Digital - My DVR Expander 500GB External Hard Drive - WDG1S5000VN does anyone reading this thread know anything about this ? would this be better than what i have? this is the...

no, that's the funny thing. the instructions i printed from the dish network website site said i should get a pop up asking me if i want to re-format the drive, i say yes, then the receiver should re-boot. none of this happened. the receiver did recognize that i plugged in the drive, because a...

Can someone help me? I just bought a WD Essential My Book 750 gig model wd7500h1u-oo and i can not get it to work with the 722 model receiver i have. im also a new dish subscriber as of about a week ago. this external hard drive thing was kind of the main selling point for me, but so far it's...
