Yes, 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
