Has Dish changed its OTA rebroadcasts?

12 disks! Good grief; that's even more than me. Dish really needs to enable a NAS, preferably from multiple receivers. Of course if they did that, they would need to relax the 999 event limit.

With the Hopper, you can have multiple EHDs connected at the same time. So that would be a case when every EHD having its own power supply would be a plus.

Every EHD should always have its own power supply.

Self-powered setups are typically cheaper than USB-powered drives anyway. Why spend more and increase your risk of trouble (or not working at all)???

I was referring to having one (powered) dock and several drives to insert therein.

Back to the original question. If it's OTA from an outdoor antenna, plain and simple E* had nothing to do w/ the size: period. If it's off sat then that is a totally different story and the conjecture about Stat Mux etc would maybe apply. But really since there is only on spot for Alb then even that is unlikely.

Does Dish Support RAID? With that much video stored, it would make it less risky.

Most of the multi-drive docks are set up as some manner of RAID, so that's not a suitable solution.

I like to delete each recording after I watch it. Thus, no need for all those drives you guys like to collect.

Read post 19 to see what I was referring to.

Dish does not need to support RAID. I have a hardware RAID 1 setup. Dish STBs see it as a single EHD.

I don't see the connection between what KKlare said and your multi-drive box recommendation.

"....I started migrating to a "stand" and raw drives to avoid the $10 penalty of a case with 4 raw now....."

I am specifically NOT recommending "a multi-drive box." I am noting that with the Hopper system, it has been reported that you can connect more than one EHD simultaneously, thru a hub.

 

[KKlare]

How many boxes connect at once through a hub to Hopper? 4 7 10 or more? Multi-level?

Let's find out. I feel a poll coming on.......

I believe a Hopper can only support 3 Joeys, or is that just the max that Dish will install on a 1 Hopper system.

 

[lucky86]

The Hopper can support up to 4 Joeys.

I should have said: How many EHDs connect at once through a hub to Hopper? 4 7 10 or more? Multi-level? Not Joey boxes.
