am i right in thinking i can connect an ehd to a hr24 and increase the amount of recording time? will these recordings be availble on all tvs with the whole house system?does this work anything like it does on the DISH receivers? are there any drawbacks? thanks for any feedback.

as noted it replaces the hard drive in the unit.
If the receiver fries out, the recordings on the EHD are lost as you cannot move it from receiver to receiver
yes you can access it from any room if you have MRV

I recently added an H24 DVR and I plugged in an external drive before I even powered it up. Is there any way I can make sure it using this drive instead of they internal drive? I don't want to unplug it and risk losing the recordings I have.
You won't lose the recordings unless you reset the dvr. Record something, check to be sure it's in the recorded list, then remove the ehd and see if it is still there.
Wait a minute ...
From the sounds of THIS post (the way I read it) this sub had a EHD that had shows on it and wants to put it on a different recvr.
In THIS scenario, it WOULD reformat when it gets connected and the reboot process takes place.
He WOULD lose his recording in this case.
If he wants to use it on another dvr, you are absolutely right Jimbo, it will reformat itself.
