Connecting a DVR Xpander to ViP622 DVR™ and ViP722 DVR™

satellite receivers

1. Connect the DVR Xpander to one of the receiver’s two USB 2.0 ports. Be

sure to follow the hard drive manufacturer’s connection instructions. Note:

Currently, you can only connect one USB device to the receiver at one time;

however, you can connect multiple DVR Xpanders one-at-a-time (for example,

to dedicate one DVR Xpander for movies and one for sporting events).

2. You will see a pop-up message asking if you want to reformat the drive.

If you select Yes, anything stored on the DVR Xpander is erased. If you select

No, you cannot transfer DISH Network content until you select Yes and the

drive is reformatted. Afterwards, the satellite receiver reboots.

3. Call 888-241-2205 to activate the feature. You will pay a one-time Archiving

Activation fee, which covers all compatible receivers on your account.
