As a DVR expander: How do these work as a Dish network DVR expander?

I have mine hooked up to my VIP612. So far it has worked flawlessly. It takes a long time to transfer data to it (about 1/2 hour for a two hour movie in HD) but you can actually view the content straight from the EHD so you don't have to move stuff back and forth.

I have a Suddenlink DVR and I have a HDMI cable from the cable DVR box to the tv and the Optical cable from the tv to the Zvox and that's it. It was simple even for me. The remote control that Suddenlink provides had to be programmed to control the Zvox volume, TV volume and turn everything on and off at the same time(wasn't too hard with the remote instructions I found online).

I use this with my DirecTV setup, so I assume you could do the same with Dish, although I can't speak authoritatively on this matter.

If you could tell me where to find the number on the DVR, I would be glad to help you. I have the dvr that came with the dish package.

I am just wondering if the 7 will pull movies to record straight off of a Dish DVR (movies/programs already recorded) like the 705 will do, with a free plug-in.

You don't wanna do that. Even if you could get it to work, it wouldn't select channels by itself, you'd have to manually change the channel on the digital converter box to whatever you want to record next. Plus, it'd all be low-def. To record from a rooftop antenna to a DVR, you need a DVR with an ATSC tuner -- or, preferably, several ATSC tuners so you can record multiple channels at once. Since everybody using a rooftop antenna can't live without such a DVR, there are zillions to choose from -- NOT! I dunno what's wrong with this market, but finding such a DVR is ridiculously difficult. I have two. The first and best is the Channel Master CM-7000PAL, which has two tuners and therefore can record two programs at once in full HD. The other is a Magnavox MDR515H which only has one tuner and only records in low-def, although it's still widescreen and a very good fidelity low-def so it's quite watchable. It also can record on a rewritable DVD which would be nice when the HD fills up, but being low-def it has 250 hours of space on the HD so it'll never fill up. Last I heard, one or both of these models are NLA -- but that *might* be because they've introduced new and better models. Channel Master, for example, was supposed to introduce a 3-tuner model. I'm sorry the options aren't better. I'd very much like to find out why the market for ATSC DVR's is suppressed and throttle somebody.

Just to be sure I am understanding your configuration, you have two devices together you want to control from two separate remote locations. The extender itself doesn't have channels, but you don't need that. You get two of these extenders, but you only use one receiver at the location where you have the boxes. You have one sender with each remote TV location. Whichever sender you are using relays the remote commands to the receiver, the receiver relays the command to the box. If you are trying to allow the two different TV users/locations to control different boxes at the same time, (like one person is watching off the dvr in one room, someone else is watching the blu-ray in the other room) then you need a different extender brand from each location to its own receiver co-located with the boxes. Hope that answers your question.

If you connect an external hard drive that has it's own power supply to a VIP 211Z, it will act as a DVR, controllable with the Dish Remote

The Channel Master DVR+ is designed for use as an OTA (over the air) antenna based DVR. It is an excellent product, it's only limitation is it receives and records channels that can be received with an antenna. The channels in question are subscription cable channels and as such, are not received by a normal TV antenna set up. You will be amazed at what you can get with a quality antenna. We are well pleased with the over 55 channels we receive, many in HD. No compressed signals or sound, EXCELLENT PICTURE. This DVR records HD and SD TV, and also has the ability to pause, rewind, and fast forward TV. I have a 1TB Seagate USB drive plugged into it, which provides over 100 hours of HD recording capability. Now the best part, No monthly rental fees !!!!!!!!!!! Hope this helps.

Works perfectly on my Q-See NVR system . Don't understand the rest of your question

I have the exact same DVR on Time Warner Cable. And it works fine. The DVR recognizes the Expander and works fine. Unless your cable company loaded special firmware in the DVR to prevent the use of expanders, you shouldn't have any trouble.

Well is doesn't record if that's what you mean, it's not a DVR, but to get it up and running, you call dish to initialize it. Hope that helps

That is essentially the point of a cable like this. But DVRs, unlike most computers, sometimes have funky compatibility issues with some types of storage expansion. So your mileage may vary.

This comes with a remote infrared unit that you place in front of the device you want to control from the other room. I use it to control my channel input on my DirecTV receiver. You have to be sure and place it very close to the infrared receiver on your DVR in order for it to work properly. I bought two sets of these things and they work great!
