Those of you with Tailgaters
I have a VP211z receiver that I bought with the Tailgater. What brand or type of hard drive are you all using to record programs? Thanks

The device you put into the 211k is formatted immediately. do not know about the z.
Have the 500G Toshiba unit. The VIP211 (no suffix) would not read/format the drive. Called dish and for $40 they sent an update/upgrade so it will format/read the drive. Have not been to the trailer to hook it all up yet.
The Toshiba did format with the 211k with DVR at home.
Dish tech support did say to store anything you have on that remote drive to a source you can retreive it as formatting will erase everything on the protable drive.
