Formatting Your External Drive
When you connect an external drive to your cable box, it will need to be formatted for DVR use. An
on-screen message will prompt you to begin the formatting process. If the external drive was
previously used with another device, all existing contents on the drive will be erased. Once the
formatting process is complete, the external drive can only be used with the last cable box that was
used to format the external drive.
Your external drive can be reformatted for use with other devices, such as a computer or a different
cable box. However, reformatting the external drive will erase any previously recorded DVR content.
