I want to get my Hopper installed ASAP and I'm wondering how I can migrate my current recordings to the Hopper. Can I just plug in an EHD (I don't usually use one), move the programming over, then copy it back to the Hopper once the install is done? I'd rather not use an EHD permanently if I can help it. I know I'll have to set up all my timers again but that I can deal with.
Why not?? It's a nice feature to be able to archive recordings and/or free up space on the internal drive....
I guess I've just never needed it before even with the 722's small drive so I don't see us needing it with the much larger Hopper drive. Can an EHD be used for backups or can you only move programs to it rather than copy them (leaving them on the internal drive)?
Right I get that...but again it seems kind of pointless for me to add an EHD if I'm not out of internal space. Maybe if I had an EHD that had internal RAID1 for protection in case a drive died, I'd use it. Anyway, good to know I can use the EHD to migrate content from one receiver to another (on the same account obviously).
The $40 Activation fee is for the 211 only. You will not be able to migrate those recordings to the Hopper, only the VIP DVRs can do that. There is no activation fee for the VIP DVRs at all.
can I transfer my recordings from my 722 to the hopper when they install it?

You'll want to do it ahead of time. It doesn't happen instantly.
Yeh, if not, a lot of installers would be spending the night on a couch.And, you need an EHD to do it. You can't transfer directly from the 722 to the Hopper....
