Will this work with DirecTV (via eSATA) as a larger memory? Thank you.

I just have mine hooked to my Mac through firewire so, I don't know for sure but, it should work.

This cable should work fine for Direc-TV as it's the same cabling the installer provided and is currently carrying my DirecTV High-Def feed. Make sure to research DirecTV's support for the proper number of feeds from your dish to your box.

Here is the specs of what DVR models that you can add with eSATA cable at Directv website,news.directv.com/2011/08/11/increase-recording-capacity-on-your-dvr-or-hd-dvr/

Yes. I bought a 32G card for it and it works like a charm, stores a lot of High Def video.

I myself used it to salvage, format both a 300GB and a 250GB WD disk drives without any problems. Also used it to migrate Windows 7 Pro from a 120GB SSD to a 512GB SSD. Worked without a hitch. Reformatted the 120GB SSD in it afterwards, and now use it as an external disk drive in the unit. Device was tried on both esata and usb3 worked fine on both interfaces.

StarTech just clarified it will work only for eSata port on external device and USB 3.0 on PC, not the other way round

I have one I bought from Amazon, but I have not been able to function. I have hired technicians Directv. Nor. The archive, return it because it costs more money to buy another of a different brand

It should. I am using Directv with HD (no DVR) and have had no issues. I would try and call the manufacturer to be sure before buying. But it is a great product and very easy to set up.

It needs an esata interface. Lots of them (especially the ones built into motherboards) are buggy or don't perform well. So I have an addon card.

It works with Directv and Dish, You will not get HD tv with direct but you will with Dish. I swear by this product! It literally takes about 1 minute to set up and 2 minutes to lock onto the satelite in yuor area. I use it when traveling in the RV.

This dish will not support HD, so that receiver will work great....same one I use. I use mine at Camp in the mountains and the dish works great, it is small and easy to set up quick. I do suggest that you look at purchasing a Satellite Finder Meter For Directv to make the set up quicker, the one I purchased was made by Satellite Finder, sold by Smartie Store on Amazon, only $8.99. You may want a tri pod or pole to mount the dish for ease as well.

Check with DirecTV first but I think that you could get it to work in a degraded mode (see my review). If you add the two components that I mention in my updated review then it will probably work normally or you could get the kit that already includes those components. The pleasant advantage that I have discovered having added the two components is that they are easily interchanged with a quick release mechanism and the inexpensive alignment tool included with this kit makes finding the satellites extremely easy with out the need of an expensive $400 tool required to do the same thing with the SWiM model. Anyway it should work, but I have not tried the HR44/200 so I cannot confirm it. Check with DirecTV first but I think that you could get it to work in a degraded mode (see my review).

Yes, that will work fine, however, to connect it to eSATA you will either need to install the drive into an eSATA enclosure or have an adapter cable. The enclosure is the safest bet. Also, be sure that the chipset of your esata controller is capable of seeing a drive that big. Most are, but some of the older ones may give you trouble.

I'm not sure. I just know that when Directv came to hook us up, they had to replace the lmn and the dish itself because neither one worked. Would not recommend!!

I don't know for sure --i only have 2 GBs and it works fine. I mainly use the Roku on my TV which is several years old and not fancy at all.

I've sucessfully done that with my 128GB Patriot drive. Just be sure that the video format of the files on the drive is supported by the TV you have.
