Switching to Hopper 3, transfer/backup question

[Crickee]

Did anyone upgrade their HWS to the new carbon interface so you can move existing DVR programs to the new Hopper 3 with a network cable? I'm scheduled to get the Hopper 3 installed this weekend and am trying decide whether I should clean out my DVR recordings so they will fit on an EHD or do the upgrade and use the network cable to transfer. Any advice is appreciated.

Use the EHD, even if you need a second one.

Thanks, that was my first choice, not sure if I wanted to deal with the upgrade 3 days before the Hopper 3 is installed.

From what's been posted, the EHD transfer will be quicker anyway.

You can just leave your recordings on the EHD if you'd like. No need to transfer them to the H3 if you don't want.

OK so i have the H3 installed and all is well. I backed up several recordings to my EHD.

I just do not see in the menus an option to transfer from the EHD to the internal HD.

Am i just missing something or looking too hard?

I think you can find the transfer options if you go into DVR and then click on your options button on the remote.

That is where the option is now located.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
