That thread doesn't answer my question.

Do you have to purchase the adapter from dish or can you just get one from Walmart or another store?

Under support on dish networks site in the how to setup>external hard drive>convert your receiver into a DVR it says that the EHD must not use flash memory and should only be a single-platter drive.

Do you have a suggestion as to what works best? do you have any model numbers of EHD's that are compatiable?

I have read that the drives have to be self powered and that they must be single platter and no more than 1TB. How exactley do you determine if they are single platter or not? The other 2 options are not hard to find but I have looked at stores and they do not put that on the boxes. Does anyone...

No not embarrassed. It was a problem with my home theater. It's a LG as is my tv. It's supposed to come on automatically when the tv is turned on through the HDMI cable. I switched the cable out and now it works. Thanks.

211k. Just had them installed today with the dish. Tv speakers. I think I figured it out though. Went into panic mode. Sorry! LOL!!!!

I have some channels that have no sound! Picture is good. Anyone know what the problem could be? There are times though that the channels do have sound.

Cool. That's what it said. I seen other post that said 100 and 119 and another. Is having the signal in the 50's very good?

I just got my dish installed today. I was curious as to which satellites they set my dish too. They installed a 1k.4 dish and I have the free HD with 1 222k and 2 211k. My signal seems low. It was in the 50's. Is this good? My zipcode is 40391.

Say you had two 211's. Is that $40 a rcvrs for activation or is that $40 for the entire account?

I have 4 tv's in my house. I have 3 HD tvs and 1 standard tv. I told the tech that I wanted two 211's and one 222 rcvrs. He told me that I only needed two 222's and that would give me HD on my 3 tv's and SD to my standard tv. Is this correct? It doesn't sound right to me. I want the 211's...

I burn them to DVD now. I was just curious if I could skip that step. Oh well, I tried!

Ok

Im not wanting to put them on my pc. I was wondering if I could put movies on the EHD and the receiver recognize them?

What format are movies and show saved as on the hard drives?

Okay. We may end up getting a DVR with 2 tuners and and just 2 HD receivers to cover our 4 TVs. Last question, on the EHDs is it a FAT32 file system or NTSC?

I would much rather have 3 HD receivers (211) and one standard receiver. That way I would not have to run more cabling. Can you request which type of receivers that you would like to have? Also are you allowed to do your own installs?

Okay. You answered some of my questions that I was typing before I posted it. Now my next question is can it be any EHD and what type of file system does it have to be formatted too?

Cool. How does the one receiver work as 2 tuners? Does it require more cabling or is it wireless? And thanks again for answering all my questions. I have just recently started researching this and I am trying to learn all of this.

Could you explain to me how you go about using the 211 as a DVR without the 6 dollar a month fee?

Sorry. I seen where you said one time fee. 2 HD receivers will be in bedrooms and 1 in our living room. The other standard will be a computer room. How can we get DVR capabilities with out the 7 dollar monthly fee?

We hadn't planned on any DVRs. We didn't want the monthly 7 dollar fee for having a DVR that we would most likely never use. Also the receivers that have the 2 tuners in them do you have to have cabling to run from the tuner to the second tv? Is the one time fee of 40 dollars for the life of the...

Being a new subscriber and the package deals that they are offering at this time they HD receivers are going to be free or so their website says when you had them to the cart. I'm glad to know that I will just need one dish. I don't have room for two and my wife really doesn't like the look of...

My wife and I are looking at getting satellite tv. The DN Americas top 250 is our choice with HD in 3 rooms and standard in 1 room. I have been reading some of the posts on this site and I see alot about people have multiple dish setups just to receive all the channels within their package they...
