Excellent for Dish Network ViP Series External HDD March 19, 2008
Paul Medina (Whittier, CA USA)
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
This product was purchased for exclusive use as an external HDD for Dish Network's ViP 722. The "Home Edition" of the WD My Book has 3 ports: USB 2.0, Firewire, and SATA. This makes this HDD extremely flixable should it be decided to use the HDD for PC or even Tivo.
This HDD works flawlessy with the Dish ViP 722. It was connected to the 722 right out of the box and quickly formatted for immediate use. Transfers and playbacks to and from this HDD have been flawless. It is quiet and very good-looking. This HDD actually blends in very well, and is small enough to place additional My Book's for very neat and aesthetic appearance on shelves or TV Stands. It is the best looking and compact of all my external HDD's. I leave mine on at all times, so the blue indicator light is always illuminated. It makes a great night light.
One thing: the blue lights feature that indicates how much capacity of remains on the HDD works when using it connected to a PC. That feature will not work connected to the ViP 722. But I don't mind that, as it is very easy to check remaining capacity using the 722 menus.
I highly recommend this external HDD for use by Dish Network customers for their ViP series of satellite boxes, and I plan to buy this item again should I need more room. the 750GB is the current "official" maximum that Dish Network supports. HOWEVER, in the very near future Dish will officially support HDD's greater than 750GB.
Another Happy Dish User September 25, 2008
William R. Stockstill (Marietta, GA United States)
After the one review confirming this unit works with Dish DVRs I bought one to use with my VIP 622. The is the maximum size that will currently work with the Dish DVRs. I plugged it in, went to the DVR Media Menu and formatted the drive. Then I moved about 50 GB of movies and shows to the HD which I was surprised to find would take 3 hours but it did it with no problems and the VIP622 allowed viewing of TV while the transfer took place. I would imagine this long transfer time can be attributed to the DVR and not the HD. Afterward I checked the items I transferred and played several movies and they played back without any stutter or hesitation. I could skip forward and backward and could not tell the difference between shows on this HD and the DVR. So, I am buying a second one to use with my Dish Network 612 Dual Tuner Hd DVR Receiver.
Good for archiving DVR content November 25, 2008
David C. Read (Glendale, CA USA)
I will just add my confirmation that this drive works for the purpose of archiving material from your DishNetwork DVR. I have Dish Network with the Turbo HD package (I'm not sure what my DVR model number is), and I have successfully used this drive to archive movies from the DVR. It works perfectly for this purpose. Moreover, you can play the movies from the hard drive without having to transfer them back to the DVR before viewing. Very handy.
