2 TB EHD'S are supported!

[djmaui]

My WD My Book Essential 2TB EHD just crossed over the 50% full mark and is still fully functioning and storing additional data. I guess the 1TB limit that was supposedly in effect at some point is no longer the case, at least with this drive. Yahoo!

I have a 722 and four WD My Book EHD's (one 640MB, two 1 TB and one 2TB). What I need now is hub support for the EHD's.

Yup we knew this a couple months ago enjoy the additional storage .

Hubs work just fine, as long as only one drive is powered.

622/722: Looks like they are working on the 1.5TB Limit - SatelliteGuys.US

I missed that thread somehow. Great news about 2TB EHD support.

Mahalo to Pepper for the hub tip. I would only want one EHD powered up at a time anyway, but it's good to know that a USB hub doesn't trip up the receiver.

as long as you don't play the shows and get hit by the 4 month old "delete your show" bug.

Didn't this happen because people did not play the recording all the way through (stopped in the middle)?

In fact, it was playing it through that caused a recording to be deleted when the second playback was stopped or quit including playing it out. Reports are that the 3rd and higher in one reboot session were safe--be very afraid. They say the first is not erased thus Dish would have you reboot every playback--unacceptable. It was Dish's software changes that added this problem. Restoring and the then copying it back to the archive is believed to work, but is a royal pain and unacceptable. "It used to work."

Can a 2TB EHD work with a 211/211k with a L459 SW. Anyone please confirm?

No. Still only limited to 1TB.

DVR buttoning out of an EHD program and into a IHD program and to live tv is my new (preferred) method of evading the 2nd EHD-viewed deletion bug (which Dish so kindly introduced when they eliminated the 1TB limit)...
