Will the Hopper play back programs recorded with a VIP722K and stored on an external USB hard drive?

No it won't. I had programs on an external hard drive and when I plugged it in it said my drive was empty. When I called DISH I learned that the programs are in a different format in the VIP722K that is not compatible with the hopper. There is a way to convert them with a special program, but I didn't go through all that trouble. If you still have your VIP722K you should view all your programs before having the hopper installed.

No, it will not. This machine records to discs only. It does not have an internal hard drive with memory.

No. It can only be backed-up to a usb drive unfortunately, It takes a sata hard drive, check the specs before you buy one i know these units are limited to the size of hard drive you put it so you cant even just stick a 4 TB drive in and be good for a long wile.And i wouldn't use the wipe when full fetcher every time i use it it deletes all the footage from that day & starts recording fresh.. Witch is not what you want, should just let it get full and do manual back up to usb drive so you have backed up footage to look back on if needed.Or you can have it FTP to a google drive or an FTP server i think. I know you can have it send snapshots through ftp on motion at least.

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply.The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

I wish I could help you but neither the book or the box gives you a maximum on storage. It just says you have to use an external USB drive. I am using an HP simple save that I think is 500 G and it works for me but I just record TV shows.

Yes - you can record. I don't know about the DVR with hard drive - however - here's what I recommend: Get the Blue Iris software - yes it runs on Windoze - but - you'll have a ball with the features and what you can do to manage the camera, the alerts and recording clips. I have 4 of the 18905's outdoors and 4 18910's indoors :)

I doubt it. It seems as if every time Dish puts out a new DVR, along comes a new remote as well. And, my experience is that the new remote controls work only with a specific model. I would give it a try, however. I have only the VIP 922 and VIP 722 models (one of the former and two of the latter), and have found that the 922 remote will not work on the 722s. That's why I suspect you will need a Hopper specific DVR, as the remotes do not appear to be backwards compatible.

I use a 32Gb memory. When I bought it I checked Sony website and it doesn't say anything about maximum storage in a external drive. Perhaps you should ask Sony. Either Way I Guess It Must Support 128Gb considering the quality of HD video recording.

Yes, as long as your drive uses a USB connection. I used my WD My Passport external drive to save recordings I wanted to keep permanently.

I have a surveillance system with a DVR with no hard drive, model h-264. I need the hard drive for this dvr to record all activities. Will this one fits? Hector

Hi，it could realize recording without hard driver，it can not storage and playback video without hard driver. Thanks！

Yes, it will pick up local "over the air" channels. These added channels show up on the "grid" and can be recorded on the Hopper DVR.

Do I need a separate recorder/hard drive to store recorded data? If not, how long does it record before the 'loop' ends and it starts rewriting over itself?

Sorry, I cannot answer your technical question. Perhaps you could access the G-Technology G-Drive website. It may provide the specifications, technical information and applications for your external hard drive.

I have not used that drive, but I have used a Western Digital 3TB USB 3.0 drive with no problem at all. No problem playing any format video that I have come across with the player.
