Can I watch my external Hard Drive recordings from my 722 on the Hopper?

Thank you for the quick reply. The customer service agent I am chatting with says it can't be done. I figured they were wrong.
Personal suggestion, I would watch the DVR events from the EHD and not transfer them to the Hopper. 1. because there is no need to, 2 because some people have reported problems when doing so.
I would only watch them from the External. No reason to transfer them to the Hopper.
There was a problem in the early days of the Hopper. No one, that I know of, has reported that problem in a long while.
I just transferred a bunch of recordings from my 922's EHD onto one of my Hoppers and haven't noticed any issues so far.
I have a Western Digital My Book 500GB WD USB 2.0 External Hard Drive HDD (WD5000H1U-00) that I had copied info from a 722k. When I upgraded to Hopper today and plugged in the EHD, the Hopper does not see it. It recognizes that I disconnected a USB drive when I remove it, but nothing else. Dish said it would work, but the installer said it wouldn't.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks!
It's going to work, tomorrow! Trust me on this, it take a day or two for the Hopper to settle in.....
Bobby was dead on. I left it plugged in last night and all the drive is accessible this morning. Thanks Bobby!
