Expand Your HD DVR Storage

DISH Network customers with a DuoDVR™ ViP® 722 or 622 or Solo DVR ViP® 612 HD satellite receiver can now enjoy near limitless DVR storage with the addition of an external hard drive. Available at most local consumer electronics retailers and through the DISH Network compatible online access purchase links below, these devices connect to the set top box receiver via a USB 2.0 cable and allow you to transfer recorded content from the DVR to the external hard drive. From the external hard drive, the program can be stored, watched, paused or even sent back to the DVR.

DVR External Hard Drive Storage

There is a one-time $39.99 activation fee required that will enable this feature on all Solo DVR ViP® 612, DuoDVR™ ViP® 622, and DuoDVR™ ViP® 722 HD receivers on a customer's account.

While most major manufactured external hard drives are compatible with the Solo DVR ViP® 612, DuoDVR™ ViP® 622, and DuoDVR ™ ViP® 722 HD receivers, a minimum 50GB and maximum 1TB drive is permitted*.
