vip 622, install hard drive or move files out?

[twinkiestar]

my wife likes to record a lot of things on 622 and with that trend, the built in Hard drive will be filled soon, is it possible to add a new hard drive to be recognized by 622, or maybe move existing files (not talking about decrypt the files) to another hard drive?

Not at this point. There is much talk from Dish about enabling the ability to use external harddrives via the USB port. They have been testing and we are all hoping that it is available soon.

I think Dish is projecting to have that feature enabled around the end of this year (ASSUMING everything goes well...). I read that here somewhere - I THINK Scott got that info from the recent Dish Summitt meeting?

REALLY looking forward to that feature!!

what happens if I just open the box and replace the hard drive? will 622 not recognize it?

I was thinking they said Fall, but the end of the year is more likely knowing Dish. Haha

If it will be same as original; what model of HDD you have now ? 6L320S0 ? Then it will be hard to find; if 7Y250M0 - then will be easy to buy.
