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.

Depends on the size of eSata drive you buy. I use an external NAS and copy it to the eSata and vice Versa. It's a great HTPC. You can just use the eSata however.

This dish will only receive signals from Directv's SD satellites. Look for the directv Slimline/SWM dish to receive HD sigmals.

sorry I don't know if it will or not I'm using it with a DirecTV satellite dish

Sorry man - that's a bit outa my league. I'm tech savy but no tech guru. My advice is to check which microprocessor type your Viao uses and compare that to the technical specifications that Amazon provides for this memory upgrade.

Just make sure that your DVR has a eSATA hook up on it as well as a USB. On almost all of the DVR's I've seen or used. The eSATA hook up works best and fastest. The USB is OK but a lot of the newer dvr's must be hooked up by the eSATA only. And will only work by that particular hook up. So make sure yours have it. As for space on your dvr, almost any size will do, as you are adding an entire 2 tb . Unless you do an extraordinary large amount of recording all in HD. The 2tb will work fine with any size dvr you buy. But some have said that the 2tb slows the dvr playback down and makes it skip. I myself have not yet had this problem. Hope this answers some of your questions. Happy New Year. And enjoy your movie watching.

This is internal drive, so we assume you already have an adapter that convert internal SATA port to eSATA2. If that's the case it will work.

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/

No, see http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-sata-and-esata/

Unable to answer exact question. I installed a WD green 3.5" 2TB Sata drive and it works fine. I did have to install the Gigabit driver before the Mother Board would see its eSATA ports.

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).

I doubt, that it works with satellite. Best would be, to send the question to Elgato support, they can answer it definetely.

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.

I connect a standard def Directv box to it and have no issues. Works great.

I'm sorry, I don't know as I am using it on a Direct TV TiVo and Visio TV. It works fine for that.

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.

If you're asking about using it with a TivoHD, then no. Tivo series 3 can use other eSATA drives in an "unsupported" configuration though. (I don't know about other DVR's)BTW, more info that you ever wanted to know about this is posted in this FAQ: http://tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=370784
