Question on External Hard Drives

[orlmac]

Hi, I'm looking at switching to the Hopper and have a full Vip722 dvr that I need to transfer to an external hard drive. I need to find one that is no more than $120 though. Does anyone have any that they have used with their Vip722 that was relatively inexpensive and worked?

Here's a 1T WD (good, reliable) for $80.00 after savings and coupon code.

Just a heads up....after you make the switch be careful moving shows from the EHD that were originally on the 722 to the Hopper. Several of us have not been able to play them (mine were moved from a 622 but others have also mentioned the 722). Everything else works fine and there is no trouble moving new shows back and forth or even viewing old one directly from the EHD (although some have reported issues trying to watch previously recorded shows from channels they no longer subscribe to).
