What brand and model of an external hard drive is recommended for the Tailgater to record TV shows?
Thanks

  • I use this one
    Seagate Expansion 1TB External Desktop Hard Drive (STBV1000100) - Black
  • The only requirement I remember was that it needed its own power supply.
    I bought a 1TB w/power supply.
    Don't remember what brand.
    Works great!!

  • According to Dish, any external hard drive will work. They do have a $40 one time set up fee to make this work.
  • The Tailgater does not use a hard drive, it's just a satellite antenna. If you have a VIP211K receiver, that's what you will connect your hard drive to. Do a search for 211K and hard drive, Western Digital (that seems to be the most popular).
