My WD 1TB EHD worked fine on my Hopper when I switched from a VIP612 a few years ago and AFAIK you should be OK switching from a 722.

I would recommend waiting to connect your ehd until the Hopper is active and pushing life video.

Or even live video.

Yep, it'll work just fine. I and many others have done this.

I would leave everything on the EHD and watch stuff from there. No need to transfer anything.

The hopper will be able to mount 2 ehd's at a time. You can use a powered usb hub and hook the ota module up to the same hub.

The Hopper takes up to 72 hrs to get up to speed. Don't mess with your EHDs until afterwards. And yes, just leave the content on them. No need whatsoever to transfer back to Hopper.

Thanks VERY much for Help...Then i gonna let installer ,install the Hooper today in few hours,when he arrives ,coz really wants to cancel it, if my HDDS didn't gonna work with Hopper ..
anyway Thanks & good day

IF your Hopper wants to reformat the HDD, don't let it. Unplug and try again another time.

I have done many transfers from 722-written drives to Hopper and then back to another drive--reorganization.
However, a small percentage will not go back out to any EHD after being on the Hopper and coming from the 722. Clogs the Hopper.
