Anyone have a DISH 211k with extra drive for DVR?

Want to add a disk drive for DVR use with our 211k box...but it has to be powered on its own and not the USB according to DISH...(one at Costco was good, but not powered on its own)....please furnish ...

You pay $40 to Dish for the ability to use an external HD as a DVR. They send the programming to your VIP211K. The VIP211K formats the drive.

Don't read into this. We are giving you our experience. I was told that it needed external power source but when I plugged in the Passport, the 211K powered it.
