Re: External Hard Drive for Dish 211z

If my 211 quits on me I'll def go Wally. I've heard they have the bugs out. We'll see. The screen looks just like the house Hopper.612Views0likes0CommentsRe: External Hard Drive for Dish 211z

No problem. Got the Walley today. The 211z was the problem. Recordings off the Walley are A-OK.612Views0likes0CommentsRe: External Hard Drive for Dish 211z
goducks10 wrote: Yes. There's two different types of cords you get. At least with mine I did. The 211z only has a USB port not an eSATA port. I plugged the USB cord into the back of the 211z and the other end, which looks like a phone charging end into the back of the Seagate. Then in order to power up the Seagate you need to plug the power cords pin jack into the Seagate and then plug the power adapter into a wall plug. Doesn't sound like what I have. I don't see a pin jack on my Seagate. Do you have a part number for the Seagate. I have ordered a Wally receiver, but if that doesn't work out I will look into different EHD's. This is what I have. Came with a single cable, USB plug to EHD receptacle. Seagate Expansion 1TB Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STEA1000400) Tried this, but than EHD would not format to Dish . https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XX2RM8Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1613Views0likes0CommentsRe: External Hard Drive for Dish 211z

I used the USB cord. What I don't like is if I unplug the Hd for a day or so and then plug it back in the Dish has to restart, which means it has to recycle through the sat search again. Other than that it's really nice to be able to pause live tv, fast forward or rewind. I only have a short amount of time using it this weekend so I'm not totally familiar with it. The USB is plugged directly into the back of the 211z?612Views0likes0CommentsExternal Hard Drive for Dish 211z
Installed a External Hard Drive for Dish 211z. When I watch recorded programming the audio skips every few seconds. Tried a new hard drive, same problem. Dish tech thinks it's a problem with the receiver although he says the receiver is up to date. Concerned a new receiver won't solve the problem. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?1.8KViews0likes13CommentsExternal Hard Drive for Dish 211z

Need new clear plastic film for the screen storm door, anyone know where to get this besides factory or dealer? I have called factory in the past & they say contact dealer. Dealers really don't want to deal with small problems. Having trouble locating at building supply stores. Checked online, but how can you tell from a picture? Tried storm window shrink wrap, looks bad.1.2KViews0likes4Comments
