External HD question

[SatnorCal]

Thought that only up to 1TB was supported for a EHD ? In your experience do they need to be certified by Dish to work?

Old info and no E* doesn't certify HDD's. The problem w/ large HDD's is it could be multi-lun and those won't work.

I got two of these. Thanks for pointing them out. I would have just got a single 2TB but I wanted one for the DVR and the other for my PC.

Quick question, is there a monthly charge for the EHD once you pay the $40 fee? (Attaching to a 211k)

No. And you can use as many drives as you want.

211k still has the fee.

It's the 612/622/722/722k which had the fees dropped.

That's weird... maybe they dropped it on mine because I had them all done at one time, or because I have two 722k & the 211k. If you're a good customer ... request they process it for free... of course the other option is to take the 722k upgrade and then no fee... ... lol I feel like a dish peddler ... c'mon man try this smak, its the best..
