Does EHD plug into Hopper or Joey?

This gives you the ability to download all the content from your 722 before you upgrade. You won't loose anything.

Which makes the upgrade much easier.

Yes you will lose (not loose) something. You will lose ALL your timers.

You could just write them down in a Word document...

Take digital photos.

+1 much faster.

Take digital photos.

And transfer them to a laptop or tablet so you can easily read them at your Hopper location.

if you have the tablet already, just take the photos on the tablet. 1 stop shopping.

problem with that is it only shows the name, not the channel or new/all.

If you have a sling adapter. Log onto dishonline and then My DVR. Select times and then print out the list of timers. Then go into the timers on the dvr and write in the info on the print out.

Press DVR button 3 times, not too quickly. Go to Timers. You will see the list, and it does show "New, All or Man" next to the sequence number. At the top, for the highlighted timer, it shows the channel # & network. At least, that's how it works on my ViP722s. You can write down the sequence #s if you wish, and as you move down the list one by one, you can write down the channel #. Or you can use name based recordings. For Man, or manual, you will need to open up and get more details.

The digital photos will do most of the work.

Yes, dishonline is an option. If you have a Sling Adapter. And dishonline is working. I just went online to test, and to print out my timers as a Just In Case against failure. It's stuck on "Refreshing." It's been quite some time since I've gotten any use out of dishonline. Seems I'm not the only one.

Like I said, a digital camera......

Forgot about that extra step (Timers). I've got 74 timers set. I'm sure some of the older timers are for programs that are no longer on.

The word for the day is "cull."

If you have not used an EHD on your account before, do you have to pay anything to use this feature?

I'm concerned I might have some recordings that I will not be able to watch before getting the H/J's installed. I will not be happy if I have to pay something just to transfer shows from the old receiver to the new one. That would not be worth it since I will never need the feature again. I guess my family and I might need to be ready for some late-night show watching before the day of install.

 

[Bobby]

There is no charge to use the feature. Just hook up an EHD, let it format and start transferring....

 

[WheelieMan711]

I guess that also means it doesn't matter what type of hard drive to use, correct? Are there any size limitations or anything?

 

[Tampa8]

It matters greatly. Has to be self-powered, not powered by the USB, and no bigger than 2TB if a VIP series. Not sure for a 211K and recordings from a 211 will not work with a Hopper, or a VIP receiver.

Remember that an hour of HD programming is typically about 2 GB, so use that to figure out how much space you'll need.

 

[DustoMan]

You know it would have been nice if DISH just set a little chunk of EHD space aside to do a backup of you settings, favorites, and timers. Kinda like how all that is saved to the remotes.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I have never understood why you can't backup your settings and timers by using a USB memory stick.

 

[bondfool]

Do we know yet if you can plug multiple EHDs into the Hopper at once? (I mean I know you could, but would it read them all?)

 

[csmith5111]

Because not every body on the forum is a tech junky.......

Im wondering when people will quit using ppl for people and spell it correctly......

I know ppl come on.....
