EHD and saving old Dvr programs

I am considering a Hopper, but I am unclear on saving my old programs. I have a 1TB EHD full and a 722 almost full. How do I get these programs to the new system. Another EHD is not an option as I understand it, as it would also need to be activated and I would be charged another fee. Given the complex install of the Hopper, how do I save the shows? Perhaps connecting the EHD to a PC, and clean them off, but I don't know if that's possible. I understand the EHD is encrypted, and Linux OS. Does the Hopper have enough space to do this, given there is so much space dedicated to PTAT (which I won't use)?
Also, if the Hopper does not yet do OTA, does that mean I'd I'd get the 4 networks from NY or somewhere? I don't particularly whether local or not.

Thanks
Chet

1. Another EHD is an option as there is no EHD fee anymore. You would just transfer your shows from the 722 to the EHD, and when you get the Hopper installed you can keep the shows on the EHD or transfer them to the Hopper's internal drive.
2. If you don't have AAD distants now you could add them for the monthly price, I would wait until the Hopper has OTA support (this summer) to upgrade.

-----You mean the 722 will just recognize another drive, or I would still need have them activated (even at No charge)? Could I put the 2 EHD on a usb Hub?

-------I don't know what AAD distants are.....please explain
And thanks for the info, at least now I can get some room.......my wife and Oprah network creates digital hoarding!

Yes it will just recognize it and format it. AAD is the provider of distant in Lieu of Dish providing them directly. Basically you pay them to get the Big 4 networks from New York or Los Angeles.

What issac was referring to: the Hopper does not have ota as of yet, if you do not have locals, you may be to subscribe to them via All American Direct. They can sell them if you qualify and they would appear on your Dish receiver. Dish themselves cannot supply them to you.

I would wait until OTA support is out. June at the earliest, maybe later. OK, probably later. Certainly no earlier than May, for reasons only hinted at. There are a few reports of bugs in reading EHDs from ViP receivers. I'd wait. In fact, I am waiting. Let a few more bugs be worked out. What's another 3-6 months? If you're happy today, there's no rush. Sure, there's more "new" to be had. But there's a cost. Let it ride until more bugs are worked out, maybe until seamless Hopper integration is worked out, also.

Thanks, I wanted upgrade for more space, then for more tuners next. No OTA is a deal breaker, so waiting is smart.
Thanks guys

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Dish Hopper and Dish Hopper Plus No Alexa in settings

I have Dish Hopper and Hopper Plus and also have Alexa Echo. I link the Alex skill to Dish and it asks me to enter the pairing code shown on the TV. I go into Dish Settings and there is no Alexa shown. Not sure what to do.

I stand up from my chair with my glass in one hand and my plate in the other, when a story I really want to hear comes on the TV. So I say, "Alexa, pause DISH", and it waits for me to return from the kitchen, at which time I say, "Alexa, resume DISH".

Or maybe, when I return with a full glass in one hand and a new plate in the other, I realize I forgot to pause to hear this good story from its start. So I say, "Alexa, skip DISH backwards 3 minutes", and I still get to catch the whole story.

I use this every day. Or until I acquire a third hand.
