Works Great

Reviewed By: ramooner on 12/14/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I bought this to hook up to a Dish Network VIP211 receiver to give it DVR ability. Paid the access fee and went through the steps and worked the first time through. Playing back recorded high definition programs now is a snap and there is very little difference between the recording and the original broadcast. If you have been using a DVD recorder before to do this you will be very impressed.

Cons: I wish that when I turn off the satellite receiver that the blue light would go completely out on the drive instead of just stop blinking and the light still being on.

Other Thoughts: If you've been recording programs with a DVD recorder you know what a pain it is to set up a timer each and every time and check to make sure that the clock on the recorder matches the satellite receiver. This little box will end that headache when you just go to guide and select what you want to record. It's that simple.

Does NOT work with TIVO

Reviewed By: JohnLa on 12/8/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I'm sure it's a great thing if you need a USB based DVR expander. TIVO needs ESATA. My mistake for not checking closer before I bought

Cons: This device does not allow you to use the carpool lane and does not explain cold fusion.

Other Thoughts: It would have been helpful (to me) if it said in the ad: "not compatible with tivo", but mostly my fault for not researching.

Perfect out of the box

Reviewed By: PatCM on 11/30/2009

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Pros: Works perfectly.

Cons: Slow while receiving data from DVR.

Other Thoughts: I have a Dish 622 DVR and it works great! It's slow getting data from the DVR. I don't know if it's the fault of the DVR or the HD. When playing back from the drive there is no difference in speed. Wish I had this years ago.
