I bought this to expand the storage capacity on my Dish HD-DVR. It works as advertised and is easy to set up. I haven't been able to fill it up yet. I have 105 recorded HD events stored on it and still have 20% of the drive available.

This works the way it should. When I plugged it in and attached the USB cable to my Dish 722 DVR receiver, the drive was instantly recognized. I selected the option to format it to work with the dish receiver and that was it. I am now able to archive movies to this drive, watch movies directly from the drive or, if I wish, move them back to the Dish DVR.
Once it is formatted to work with the Dish DVR it won't work with a computer, but that's not a problem.
It's silly not have one of these, isn't it?

I bought this to expand the storage on my Dish Network ViP 612. It works just fine in that capacity. Could I have used a regular USB hard drive? I don't know - but this one specifically said it worked with the Dish Network boxes, so I got it.

Got this to increase the storage of a Dish network DVR. Plugged in this hard drive into the DVR, activated the USB port through Dish and everything worked smoothly. Since then I have used this drive with no problems to archive tv shows from the DVR and watch them later. Now if only the Dish network user interface to the hard drive was better....

Simple installation, just connect to the DVR with the supplied USB cable, plug it in and follow the on-screen directions. It's easy to move recordings back and forth or to view directly from the hard drive. You can continue to watch TV while the recordings are being transferred. A neat thing is that you can use the external drive with any other Dish DVR you may have. You can record on your TV, connect the drive to the kids DVR and they can watch on their TV.
