I'm the wrong person to ask, since the Western Disital rep lied to me and the box not only didn't work but wiped out my DVR.

USB is too slow for DVR use. You need a faster eSata cable. If they didn't put one in the box you can buy one on Amazon cheaply. Make sure your dish has an eSata port. Should be am eSata port on the drive. Note! You may lose all your shows on your Dish console. Google about this or read you Dish manual. On my DirectTV, the drive inside is ignored in favor of the external. Good luck.

I believe there are two different boxes. One eSata and one for HDMI. Make sure you're buying the one with HDMI. It should say it in the description.

If you have the right software, yes. I used it for my Dish Network DVR and had to call dish and let them know and with in a few minutes of, "special programing" it was working. It is some type of conversion 'soft ware' and I am sure you can get it online free. A better person to ask might be the one who sale's this item.

The item I received is a Slimline dish with a built in multiswitch. If it is the same one I ordered, and you are looking for SWiM capability you will need to add a SWM8, splitter and SWM8 power inserter. (SWiM is required for whole house and Genie (HR34) receiver and clients. Multiswitch requires individual coaxial runs from the dish to each receiver input, two for DVRs and one for each receiver

Hi. I take the Dish Receiver from my Bedroom out to the RV for trips. It is model Vip222K made by Echostar. Do not use the Main DVR for this purpose. The dip swiches have to be set for Dish in the GM-1518. The receiver has to be downloaded to defualt and then programmed for the satelite. If you have problems, I can tell you point by point how to get Dish at a RV camp. Good luck.

I've had good luck with D cables (dcables.net), very good quality and low price cables and adapters. (I needed a DVI to HDMI adapter [$9.99] for my Dish HD DVR)

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 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.

Check Windgard's site for receivers that work with Dish. Take that list and what you wish to accomplish and then talk to your Dish rep. The options are wide spread. That I have and worked for situation was the following; 2 receivers, VIP211Z and 1 receiver, VIP612 DVR. My receivers work both in my house and in my RV Motorhome.

I don't have access to a Roku, but know that if I want to connect a hard drive to my DVR from Dish Network, it must be a powered, not bus-powered drive solution. In other words, if it's anything like my system, it will only work if it has an external power supply. I'd imagine that if your Roku accepts a USB drive, try it with any other bus-powered device. If you have an AC-powered drive, then try that. But, not knowing how Roku uses its USB port is the bug unknown for which you will need an answer before taking action. Finally, hard drives are platform-agnostic; it's the power needed to use them and their formatting (FAT, MacOS or other).

Not sure I checked with directv before I bought dish to make sure it worked with my box. Some of the newer dvr HD boxes wont work as per directv, just double check with directv before you buy it.

This thing. Just plugs into your USB slot in the back or front of your DVR. It works great with my sling adapter. I tried to plug both the WIFI and the sling adapter into a USB hub plugged into the back of the DVR, but it wouldn't draw enough power evidently, so that's why I plug the WIFI adapter into the front USB plug

This is not a wireless camera and I do not know if it works with a dish dvr as I do not have one of those.

Yes, I just received my 705 today and downloaded no problem from a VIP 622. I used the USB cable included with the 705. 1. Download and install plugin. 2. Make sure Archos is in Windows Media Player mode (DRM enabled) and not hard disk mode 3. Connect devices together via USB cables (I used the front USB port behind the door) 4. Follow onscreen prompt to use USB device. 5. Select Archos 705 from list on left 6. Select "Send to device" to get to show listing Notes: HBO and Cinemax recordings cannot be transfered due to some stupid copy-protection Dish turned on. They have a note up on their site about it. I have Cinemax and Showtime - Showtime works, Cinemax doesn't. Idiots. This is one BIG point against it which is making me second-guess the purchase since Dish integration was my primary reason to buy it. Shows can be batch transferred (thank god) SD only "at this time" according to the popup. No HD recordings. Shows are listed in recorded order (no folders)

Some few devices are non-standard and their HDMI ports are not powered. In those rare cases an AC adapter will be required. I found all the devices I use, except the cable DVR box, worked fine. I requested an AC adapter from the seller and they sent me one, free of charge.

I don't have Dish and I only use this with my Xbox. However, my thoughts would be that if the VIP has an Ethernet port then this should work. All this is doing is using your home wiring to access to the Internet.
