How to transfer recorded items to desktop computer?

[STINE]

Hello,

I'm sure this question has been asked but when I hooked up my 625 via USB 2.0 and went to menu, clicked on "multi-media" it said my USB was not supported? What gives?

Many things! First of all, our 625s have a USB host port, not a client port. So you cannot hook the 625 up to your computer directly. The external hard disk is not available for 625s, nor is the Archos gen 5 Dish plug-in. About the only thing you can use the USB port for is the discontinued PocketDish players. Some people have found they can display photos with a memory stick. Perhaps that's the menu item you found.

Dish recording are encypted, so even if you found a way to transfer the recording, you would not be able to view them on a computer.

722

Gary,

Dishnet intall guy initiated a conversation with me saying "yeah it's so cool, you can store all of your recordings on your computer, it's so easy."

Can I do it with the 722 receiver?

You can store your recordings on an external hard drive and play them back through the receiver. You cannot store them on your computer.

I still think the installer is not computer savy and confused computer with external hard drive.

You know, I'd like to see your face when you typed the BS and now when you'll eat the crow after reading a few threads here about recordings, encryption and transfers.
