A:AnswerYes, the Dish Network Hopper can work with an external hard drive. To use an external hard drive with the Hopper, you need to follow these steps:
Ensure the external hard drive is compatible with the Hopper and has its own power source.
Connect the external hard drive to the Hopper using the provided USB port.
The Hopper should detect the drive and prompt you to format it.
Formatting will erase any data on the drive, so ensure it is empty or has no important data.
Once formatted, the external hard drive will integrate with the Hopper, allowing you to expand your storage capacity and access recorded content easily.
It's important to note that the Hopper does not support transferring files from the DVR to an external thumb drive, as thumb drives do not meet the Hopper's power requirements.
For more detailed instructions and troubleshooting, refer to the user manual or contact Dish Network customer support. https://support.dish.com/products/external-hard-drive

A:AnswerIt depends on the size of the picture, usually around 1 to 3 MB each, and the capacity of the external hard drive. I bought the 4TB My Passport External USB 3 Portable Hard Drive and I expect it to hold well over a million pictures.
A:AnswerYou can download games on there and they will stay on the terabyte even if it is unplugged but if you wanted to play the actual game the terabyte needs to stay in. But nothing will go off your terabyte endless you actually delete it yourself.
A:AnswerSame thing happened to me I am sure you looked it up but it is the cord which is a USB 3.0 and go to the actual Best Buy store and ask around for it.
