I connected my external hard drive to my new Hopper 3 last night. I receive the dialogue box that I have connected an external device to the USB port. I then go to the DVR screen and it shows both the internal HD and external HD.

When I go to the external HD the box show that it is 11% full but the Hopper 3 and a green line continues to go across the box but will not show any of the recordings. The screen will then time out and I end up at the live TV screen.

The EHD is from my older 722K. It is a G-Force HDand a USB 2 interface. I have it connected to the rear USB 2.0 port. I have tried it on the rear USB 3.o port and on the front USB 2.0 port. It worked great there. Any ideas on why I can't see the recordings?

I think it's a YMMV as it's not the physical hard drive that is the problem since the data will be fine, it's the Hard drive to USB interface chipset it's picky with.

That brings up an interesting thought. If I bought a new drive of a type that that seems to be working for everyone (Western Digital seems to be what everyone is using), is it possible to clone the old drive to the new somehow? I have a clone application on my Mac that makes copies of hard drives, or maybe I would need to restore everything from the old drive to the VIP 722, connect the new drive, then move everything back to it. That seems like a tedious and slow process, but it should work.

A genuine expert will be along shortly to tell us who has the better memory. :)

Mine was the non-K ViP722.

You could back up timers with the 722K but not the 722.... I had a 722 and there was no remote back up. I could have used that when I upgraded to my H1....

I got my Western Digital usb 3.0 EHD today. Took a bit of time for my Hopper 3 to detect the drive
but It saw after about 60 sec. and formatted the drive with no problems. Thanks for the help
and suggestions on the drive.

Edit 1. I just transferred a 60 minute HD show to the drive. I took about 2 minutes vs. about 15 minutes
transferring the same show from my 722K to a USB 2.0 EHD.

Edit 2. Just saw that when I transferred a recording from the Hopper 3 hard drive to my EHD the folder on the Hopper 3 disappeared. When I went into Options - Manage Folders though the missing folder was still listed. To get the folder back on the Hopper 3 HD I deleted the folder in the manage folder screen and re-created it. Anyone else see this? BTW this happened twice because I transferred a recording from another folder to a second EHD and again the folder disappeared.

Western Digital is the one that didn't work for me on the Hopper 3 but works fine on the Hopper 2000, it could be board used in mines as I noticed the 2GB came both made in Malaysia with a bigger box and a smaller Thailand box which is the one I have. Yes, you can clone the drive just fine as if you see my other post, you will see I have cloned the drive using Macrium Reflect. It took about 18 hours. You really need to do a sector by sector clone instead of only cloning sectors with data.

Found my post, it's post #49 in the thread below:

Washington Post

SpaceX has held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months about launching its own signature wireless service through a deal with the company, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Musk, the SpaceX CEO, has discussed the deal personally, meeting with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen last month, according to the people. The potential deal may result in SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile or SpaceX gaining access to its network, which it leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US, the people said.
Access to those lease agreements would be a coup for SpaceX. The back door would allow Musk to make a play for a U.S. wireless market that equity research firm MoffettNathanson estimates is worth $235 billion. But the proposed service may need consent from those carriers for the service to actually launch, the people said.

Can't remember where or who I saw predict this. :D

It wouldn't surprise me to see Elon soon own all of DISH / Echostar in the future.

Again, why would Musk want a TV Service, specially one that is losing over a million subscribers a year.

Phone service…maybe, but not TV.

I know he wants TV. He wants to deliver EVERYTHING to EVERYWHERE.

Again, if so, why would he want Dish/Sling of all the providers?

He could deliver anything without actually owning, for example, watching the Lions game in my Tesla Y on it's screen via the YT app, while on the way to my future in-laws on Sunday.

If Musk really wants to buy Boost, he might get a great price once Dish Wireless is out of Chapter 11.

Boost just lost 182,000 subs in the 3rd quarter-

Is Dish like Iran in one way...they both will totally collapse by end of week :)
Foxbat
Other than the price, my experience with Boost is not that different than what I experienced with my years with Cricket. I will be curious to see what happens if SpaceX takes the reins.

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....

Rodney Dangerfield is great. One of his best one liners - "My wife likes to talk to me during sex, last night she called me from Florida!"

Jackie Gleason is another one of the greats.
