Western Digital My Book - A solution to my dvr recording space limitations. If you connect to a different one, formatting is required and all recorded content is lost. Once connected to a specific DVR unit, the WD My Book is encoded to that DVR. ***NOTE: recorded programming is only available when connected to the original DVR unit.
The included power adapter and cord are long enough to accommodate your configuration location. +-The Western Digital My Book AV can stand in either vertical or horizontal position.
I notice no difference in playback of the recorded programming. I guess you could disconnect the external WD drive and then look at your DVR to see if the recorded programming is still present. The user is not aware of where the new recorded programming is located- on the DVR internal drive or on the WD external drive. The additional recording capacity is instantly recognized. Once connected, follow on-screen prompts. ***Connection is via either an ESATA or USB (check your DVR). ***The 1T unit adds about 150 hours of HD recorded programming. I have 3 Western Digital My Book AV units (two 1T, one 500gb) connected to Charter Communication Motorola DVR units with 500Gb internal drives (apprx 75 hrs HD programming). Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-ownedĮasy setup, quickly adds many hrs of space for recorded programming. I'll let you put your own label and that last sentence. THREE technical support reps told me this TiVo model would support external storage which it doesn't. To add icing on this cake, TiVos business practices are questionable. Because of the cost and the reliability issues I'd advise against buying "anything" from TiVo. The TiVo Box (the two tuner model) is a piece of junk so don't buy this WD Drive for external storage because it will not work!! To be clear, this isn't a short coming of the drive but of the TiVo Box. So this is more of a review of the TiVo Edge product rather than the WD My Book Drive. In fact the two USB 3.0 ports on the back of the TiVo Edge are non-functional. The WD My Book AV 1TB may be a great product but it doesn't work with the TiVo Edge Over-The-Air (OTA) Antenna like TiVo technical support said it would. Don't buy this product to work with the TiVo Edge Antenna Product!
