Copy programs from HR10-250 to HR20

[shramj]

I just got off the phone with D and they are going to be installing a HR20 for me, since I already have a HR10-250, is there anyway to copy the programs from it over to the new HR20? Also, what size hard drive does the HR20 have?

no transfer; internal is 300 GB - you can install instead new 500 or 750 GB or use external eSATA enclosure with RAID-0 with 2x500 or 2x750 GB; external storage will disable internal disk, but all data ( schedules and recordings) will be safe there up to disconnect external ; no additional format required

Thanks, I just found that it has a 300gig internal drive. I added a 2nd harddrive to my HR10-250, if I wanted to put in a 500 gig drive in this HR20, do I have to use that software like I did for the HR10-250 to format, etc.? If you want a link to the stuff I used, just let me know.

"no additional format required"

Sweet! Plug and Play. I just ordered a 500gig drive from newegg.com for my new HR20, Can't believe how easy it is to add a new drive to this HR20. Thanks!

How much was it, and let us know how it works when you get it.
I would have to look into a tera or 1.5 tera's though.

Someone said D* would have them soon, but I have not seen any info on them

There is one guy who running (!) 3.75 TB [5 750 GB disks].
$500 for the eSATA module, btw.

Thought that sounded awful cheap.

Is there a way to hook my computer up to the HR20 and transfer recorded shows to the computer and then burn to DVD?

In our dreams .

They are installing my new dish and the HR20 today, I will let you know how the upgrade goes. I will probably swap out the hard drives after the tech leaves today. The only thing that sux is I cannot run another coax down to the location where my HR20 will be. I went up in the actic over the weekend to give it a shot and I can't do it, D will have to run it along my house and then go through the exterior wall. I wish I would have ran 4 coax lines to my TV location when I had the house built, the actic is very low and the heater/AC duct blocks my way.
