M M you got to get a good signal for your outside antenna, I have mine on a pole next to the house

This device has no hard drive, it just provides an ota tuner. You connect you outside antenna to it. Programs you record will be on the DVR harddrive

It allows you to record with the Hopper or a similar receiver from Dish. It is simply a tuner for over-the-air televisionthat works with the Dish Network system.

It only works with the Hopper. You plug in the connection from the rooftop antenna using coax and the other end - USB cord - goes in the back of the Hopper. You then use your remote menu to scan for over-the-air channels on the Hopper. Once the over-the-air channels are found, they record to the DVR like every other station using the Hopper. You actually get another tuner on the Hopper when you do this.

No internal drive, it's saves it to the DVR if you set it up of that outside channel(yellow) you should have had instructions to set it up. Connect it to your Coax antenna wire and the other hooks up to usb. Your Gude will show all your outside channel in yellow.

It does but this dvr has a flaw.the power supply is not strong enough to power internal hd. Get the blue dvr with HDMI output. Any USB hd will work

No the 222 receiver will not do that. If you will look up the specs of this receiver on Dish.com you will find that the 222 in NOT compatible with using a Hard Drive as DVR.

I also installed this drive on my DirecTV DVR(HR23-700) and it caused nothing but problems. In particular, if you were in the menu-->manage recordings, etc. for any length of time, it would hang the unit and only a hard reset(pull the power plug) would work. I have since installed the WD DVR expander drive and have had zero problems. Western Digital My DVR Expander 1 TB eSATA External Hard Drive

I use my esata drive connected to my dvr from cox communications. Not all esata drives work with a scientific atlanta cable box. I suggest checking for compatibility. Once installed, works perfectly and invisibly until it crashes, which all hard drives will eventually experience, so back it up.

Yes but make sure this is an approved drive for your DVR, I am using it with my Dish Hopper ... it is a simple plug into the USB port on the rear of the Hopper and allowing the Hopper to format the drive (it asks you to). You can then transfer movies from the Hopper Hard Drive to this external drive... which doubles the capacity.

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

I used mine as an alternate to the built in disk drive in my DirecTV satellite receiver DVR. The receiver would recognize only the external drive if it was connected. If the external drive is disconnected or fails, the receiver will revert to the internal drive. I know of no way to transfer the contents of an external DVR drive to another drive, although it may exist somewhere. My solution was to upgrade my satellite receiver to one with a bigger drive for the DVR.

I am not quite clear what the External Box is. So long as your external box has the a/v input and output cables, I am sure you can connect. I don't think the connection has anything to do with antenna. I have 4 receivers for Dish Network, but I have never taken the DVR because the DVR does the recording for the moment only, whereas I need dvd recording for future use and storage/collection. I have directly connected the recorder to the TV, and it works well, although after a year or two it doesn't function that well. Since I have never used an external box I cannot give a clear answer. There aren't too many dvd recorders in the market. I have a Panasonic that I bought 20 yrs ago and still works well. A new Toshiba, and the other 2 are Magnavox which I have replaced several times. Sorry but this is my honest answer.

the short answer is..... if you buy the proper software that lets you save to dish. The supplied software wont do it............

You need an external hard drive and then hook up with dish network to install, of course there's gonna be a small fee to complete the procedure. It's just a small pinch, and after all it might be worth the cost to accomplish your wishes, we all hate our wallets a little bit.

DVR is a service you pay for. I installed mine with DVR right away and they had to run two cables in from the dish so that DVR can run while you switch channels. I dont know the answer because I don know if your dish needs to be a certain type. You should call direct tv.dont expect to get more services than you pay for though, the box feeds back to them.

The box itself is CLOSED CIRCUIT, you can only view live feed, you add the harddrive inside the box and it then will record

No, the DVR saves the video to its internal hard drive. If your DVR was purchased without an internal hard drive installed, then you can install an internal hard drive to your unit

Hello Jorge, The QT474 DVR supports 1 SATA hard drive up to 2 TB. However, this bundle comes with a pre-installed 500GB hard drive.

It does not need an external hard drive... but it does need an internal drive... it a great DVR. Google search the Sunluxy and find the specs for the particular hard drive required.
