I am replacing my VP722 with another one that Dish sent me. I called to get them to activate my multimedia port(that was a trip). Took about 45 min.
I plugged in a USB hard drive. I got a message it was not compatible, so I found another HD, a Maxtor 40Gb. This drive was accepted. However it did not ask me to reformat it. The HD had photos on it, I beleive it was formatted to NTSC. Anyway. I was able to transfer photos from the external HD to the old recorder but when I try to access Dish recordings Manage device or send to device I get t he message 863 This feature is not supported. I called Dish NON tech support and got India and they didnt have a clue what I was talking about. What type of HD, reset the receiver what type of hd, what is the error number, wait I have to talk to a supervisor, what is the error message, waiut I have to talk to a supervisor. What are you trying to do. You get the idea.
Does anyone her have an idea why this feature is not supported? Sounds to me like it was never turned on.
