I would not recommend it for ANY use. Bought it here at Amazon 5 months ago and WD says it is ALREADY not covered!

It works with the DISH Hopper. You can even watch the shows saved on it without transferring them back to the Hopper. It uses USB 2.0.

Yes but make sure this is an approved drive for your DVR, I am using it with my Dish Hopper ... it is a simple plug into the USB port on the rear of the Hopper and allowing the Hopper to format the drive (it asks you to). You can then transfer movies from the Hopper Hard Drive to this external drive... which doubles the capacity.

Hello Jorge, The QT474 DVR supports 1 SATA hard drive up to 2 TB. However, this bundle comes with a pre-installed 500GB hard drive.

Yes 100%. I set my HD up in under 5 min. Just make sure you have the right DVR box.

I have used a 4TB WD MyBook successfully. I made the mistake of connecting that 4TB drive to an old Windows computer which mangled it, then even after a reformat, the DVR crashes every time I connect the drive. Somehow only the original factory format could work.The DVR can use a large FAT32 drive but formatting a 2TB+ HD as FAT32 results in 1.6TB capacity.

Not sure if this WD hard drive will work for DVR security systems...I know that WD hard drives that end in -AVGP work for DVR.

I would contact the manufacturer of the Dish VIP722K DVR to be certain , however if you have a 2.0 usb port on the Dish VIP722K DVR and since it does have its own 500gb HD ,I would say yes . I would purchase it myself if I were in the same position, but that is just me. If it does not work there I could always use it on my computer and free up more space. So the decision is yours unless "Dish" confirms what I have said then still it is a win-win situation.I hope this helps.

The Verizon FiOS DVR model Motorola QIP 7216 is compatible with the My Book AV DVR Expander, but requires set-up different from other model Verizon DVRs. Please follow the instructions (exactly) below to connect the My Book AV to this specific model DVR. 1. Access the DVR menu. 2. Select Enable More Storage. 3. At the "Activate External Hard Drive (eSATA)." screen, press OK. 4. Plug in the My Book AV to the SATA Drive port at the back of the DVR. Note: Do not plug in the drive until prompted. 6. Press OK to activate. 7. When prompted, reboot the DVR by pressing OK. 8. The additional storage of the My Book AV should now be available. The normal DVR menu has an "Eject" feature that allows you to stop the external drive and make it safe to remove it from the DVR without losing anything via an unplanned drive removal. This can be found at "DVR" button on remote then "Settings"-&gt;"External Hard Drive"-&gt;"Eject". This worked for me, but its important NOT TO PLUG IN THE DRIVE UNTIL PROMPTED! Hope this all helps. When plugged in your DVR, it will record on the WD first until its full, then it will record on your DVR. You can delete programs off the WD just like you would your DVR. Make sure you always "safely eject" the WD before you pull the plug!!!

George, I don't think this is the item you need. Even though it is a converter, unless the cpu/modem is set to receive the internet this way, you might be better off installing an Ethernet card. You can always send a question to the makers of the Proteva via Email. It does not work for the "E Machine", windows 98, Com South Cable. However I have recently learned that it will work for the Dish Network DVR. Dish just has to do some "trouble shooting" on their end.

My answer is based upon Directv do not know about Dish at all. Not sure about the TVs but the unit can work with 2 receivers. I have a DVR that has 2 receivers in it and it works fine with that.

No. The WD2500JB has an IDE interface. The Xvim 4 channel DVR supports internal 3.5" SATA 500GB to 2TB Hard. You'll need a SATA interface drive.

You probably need to check with Panasonic and or your cable/satellite provider. If this recorder is used as your primary DVR from a cable provider, some external drives will work and some will not. The external hard drive you use, with most cable/satellite providers, needs to be a eSATA drive and I'm not sure if this particular Seagate is eSATA or not. My DirecTV DVR recommends certain Western Digital external hard drives. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

You need an external hard drive and then hook up with dish network to install, of course there's gonna be a small fee to complete the procedure. It's just a small pinch, and after all it might be worth the cost to accomplish your wishes, we all hate our wallets a little bit.

Yes, but honestly I wouldn't recommend it. Having a drive fail on that setup would kill you and the interface that your presented with on this device really limits the usability of anything over 2tb

I purchased a WNDR4700 and 3 t/b WD30EFRX hard drive it formatted and works fine. Software on the Netgear is another mater.
