Questionis it compatible with Dish Networkwill be connecting to dish network to expand the dvr storage
Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes. I have the Hopper without the Sling. It works perfectly. Plug in the power first and then plug in the USB. Your DVR should recognize the device, immediately. It will ask you a few formatting questions. Just click yes. Use the menu option on your remote and go to external hard drives. From here you can select to move data from your Hopper to your External Device. It will take you to your DVR's saved movies and shows. Just start transferring. You can transfer an entire season, but it may take a while. It may take hours, depending on your Internet connection. Don't worry. You can still watch TV while in the transfer process. I also have 3 Joeys. You can access your external hard drive from the other rooms without having to unplug anything. It was easy and it works. I would recommend this product.

QuestionWhat does backward compatible with USB 2.0 for simple connection to your computer mean?
Asked 10 years ago by Raye.
- Answer Backward comparable with USB 2.0 means that even if your pc is older or does not have a USB 3.0 port this product will still work. The transfer will not be as fast but all the features will still function without any problems.

Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer This comes with both a USB cable to connect to your computer, as well as an adapter to plug it into your wall. So you can use it w/o the adapter, as long as you have it plugged into/installed on your computer.

QuestionIs this a self encrypting drive which will allow me to use a password to open the drive
Asked 6 years ago by Edward.
- Answer ITS NOT "self encrypting" as far as I know. It allows you to set up a password to open the drive. Without the password you don't get it open.
