VIP 722 External Drive Questions:
1) Who has this option enabled and is it worth the fee to activate?
2) I read that once an external drive is attached Dish Network requires that all content be backed up onto it from the internal hard drive. If so, you aren't really gaining capacity.
3) Once programming is on the external drive can you move the drive to a computer and view the programming recorded? Better yet, could you transfer the files onto a portable media plater like an IPOD?
