HR21-700 WD estata to esata?

[bluezbear]

I have a HR21-700 and am adding a WD My Book 1TB drive without any luck. The cable is Dynex estata. Is the connection on the receiver estata or sata because it doesn't seem to go in all the way. Oh yes, the receiver won't recognize the hard drive. What hard drive works with a HR21-700?

Look in the Directv Technical Discussion Forum. There is a thread about which hard drives work with which dvrs.

Make sure you take the plug out of the rec'r, in case you missed it.

I've had GREAT luck with Seagate drives.
