Just got my second receiver up and running - thank you to those who helped me sort out wiring.

I had an existing 622, with external HDD enabled.
I added a 211K. When I called to authorize the box, I also asked to have the external HDD service turned on for $40 for this receiver as well.

I took my 622's EHDD and tried plugging it into the now-authorized 211K. It asked if I wanted to format the disk. NO - I thought I could swap HDDs between receivers on the same account, but certainly did not want to erase my drive. So I said, no, and disconnected it. Plugged a new hard drive into the 211K and it formatted and is running fine.

I take the 622's EHDD back to its place, plug it in and get the "Disk must be formatted" message. What? My EHDD's programs are gone?

Is this a correctable authorization error? When the 211K was authorized, was the 622 reconfigured in such a way as to make my drive unusable? Shouldn't both receivers, being on the same account, share the same encryption stuff?

Rats... Any help appreciated.
