Transfer to Cyberhome DVR

[BANDITO4784]

Can anyone tell me how to do the hook-ups from a VIP622 receiver to a Cyberhome DVR ? I am having to replace our current VIP622 due to malfunction and I don't want to lose our recorded programs. I can't figure out how to do the wiring, to get everything to work.......

Thank You

The easiest way to keep recordings is to just enable external hard drive support ($40) and offload everything you want and then you can use that drive with your new receiver. I'm not familar with the Cyberhome DVR, so can't help you there.

Most dvd recorders use s-video and composite (yellow, white and red connections) or coax. Once you have them hooked into the recorder, you have to scroll through the inputs to find picture and audio.

+1. Set it up and walk away. No real time baby sitting, changing DVD's etc.

From doing a google search it appears the Cyberhome DVR is NOT a true DVR but a DVD recorder. If you do decide to use it all your recordings that are HD will end up downconverted to SD.

Once you activate the External Hard Drive Support, you can use any number of External USB2 drives to archive your recordings (Your only limited by how many drives you wish to purchase). You can only connect one drive at a time. Drives can be up to 1 TB in capacity. All Transfered content is encrypted so you can only access that archived content through your Dish receiver(s). If you have more than one Dish HD DVR you can share all your External Drives between all your Dish HD DVR's as well as soon with a Dish 211 receiver.

Archived content can be played back directly from the External Drive when connected to a Dish HD DVR.

The ability to create folders and organize your content is coming to the 622/722 Firmware for External Hard Drives.
