• Only hard drives that are single-disk units currently are supported.
• Dedicate the hard-disk drive for use only with your DISH Network receiver; do not use
the drive for any other purposes, such as the backup and storage of computer files.
To use the external hard drive feature:
1
Purchase a USB 2.0 hard-disk drive from a consumer electronics retailer.
2
Connect the drive to one of the receiver’s two USB ports, making sure to follow any
connection instructions that came with the hard-disk drive.
Note: Currently, the receiver supports having one USB device connected at a time. If you
have a second USB device such as a digital camera or portable media player connected
to the receiver, you should disconnect it before connecting the external hard-disk drive.
3
If the hard-disk drive is compatible, you’ll see a pop-up message screen confirming the
device’s connection and asking if you want to manage its contents. Select Yes.
4
Follow the on-screen prompts for activation on your DISH Network account of the DVR
External Hard Disk Drive feature for storage and playback of DVR content.

Once the feature has been activated, you’ll see a pop-up message asking if you want to
format the drive—formatting is necessary to store your recorded programs on the external
hard-disk drive. Note that selecting Yes will cause anything stored on the external hard-
disk drive to be erased, the drive to be formatted for use with your receiver, and then the
receiver to reboot. You can use the Manage Device option to view and manage programs
stored on the external hard drive. Use the Send to Device option to transfer programs
from your receiver to the external hard-disk drive. Copy protection for certain content may
apply. See www.dishnetwork.com/content/faq/copy_protection/ for more information.
