Another question I could have swore I saw something that you had to pay a one time fee of 40.00 to be able to use an external hard drive but when I hooked mine up I was able to move recordings over no problem. I went on chat with dish and they said there is no fee to be able to use an external hard drive. Did I dream that there was a charge ?
How high a quality EHD did you buy? I have a RAID 1 for certain programs and several, seldom powered up EHDs. I trust my EHDs more. But my HWS #1 is 75% full. Go figure.Figured it out last night. Works great. Thx. Those with external hard drives would you say your recordings on your hopper or your recordings on your external hard drive are safer ?
Correct.If the hard drive on hopper fails it won't affect the recordings on your EHD correct ?
