7B. Setting Up Your External Hard Drive
1.
Connect the eSATA cable (it should be provided with the drive you purchased) from the
external hard drive to the port labeled "eSATA" on the back of your HDPVR 630.
2.
Connect the power cable from your external hard drive to a power bar or wall outlet.
3.
If your external hard drive has a power switch, turn it on now. Ensure the power or status
light illuminates.
4.
Restart your HDPVR 630 by holding down the power button on the front panel for 10
seconds.
5.
When the receiver comes back on, a setup wizard will guide you through the process of
formatting the external hard drive for use with this satellite receiver. This will remove ALL
data and partitions on the external hard drive.
6.
Formatting will complete within a few seconds and you will be alerted that your drive is
ready for use.
If you do not see the setup wizard, or are alerted that the drive cannot be configured due to the current
users permissions, switch to an owner-level profile and then run the setup wizard again. Press
OPTIONS
on the remote, select “Preferences”, and open the “Hardware Settings” section. You’ll find the
“External Hard Drive Setup” button at the bottom of this header.
7C. Using Your External Hard Drive
Once formatting is complete and your HDPVR alerts you that the external hard drive is ready for use, the
amount of free space in your PVR List will be updated to reflect the additional storage capacity. The
Smart PVR Technology on your HDPVR 630 will automatically record to the optimal location, with no
configuration required.
An external hard drive can only be connected and used with a single, specific HDPVR 630 at a time. You
will not be able to access the recordings on a different device, such as a computer or a different HDPVR
630. You can use a single external hard drive with the HDPVR 630.
Disconnecting your external hard drive
If you no longer wish to use an external hard drive with your HDPVR 630, simply disconnect it. The
setup wizard will alert you that the external hard drive is missing, and you can follow the prompts to
delete it from your HDPVR. This will permanently remove any recordings from the PVR List which were
stored on the external drive and allow you to connect a new external drive by following the setup
instructions above.
