Will a 5400 RPM drive work for 1080p content? (external hard drive)

[sofakng]

I've just bought (mail order) a Western Digital 500GB My Book Essential Edition 2.0 which is apparantly a 5400 RPM drive even though it's listed as a 7200 RPM drive.

Will this work OK with my VIP 622 DVR even for playing 1080p content?

Thanks!

I do not believe that any Video On Demand content is transferable to the external drive. VOD is the only thing in 1080p..

Oh, OK.

Will I be OK for all other HD content?

yes any thing you have recorded should xferable to the hard drive once the port is activated. I have not had any calls for problems on this as of yet, except when we had a clash the Seagate drives..
