The type of external hard drive that would be compatible would be a USB 2.0 external hard drive, with an external power source (not powered by the receiver's USB port.) The EHD minimum size would be 50GB and the maximum size is 2TB. In general, major brand-name external EHDs sold today are compatible, but currently only single EHD units are supported.
Can I connect my PC to Dish Network DVR and transfer digital programs to my hard drive?
At this point, if your talking about your computer, you can't. But if your talking about an external hard drive hooked up to the box, you can. In your list of recorded programs, go to external devices, select your hard drive, then from there you can select the programs that you want to transfer. You can continue to watch tv in the background while it is performing this action. Hope this helps, and good luck!

DISH NETWORK AND DIRECTV are working on that option for their DVRs. DISH NETWORK's option allows the use of a standard external USB drive, but it formats in a propietary format so it cannot be moved from one DVR to another. Thank you RIAA and MPAA for that wonderful option! DISH NETWORK currently has a series of DISHPlayers that video can be downloaded through the USB port on the DVR to the DISHPlayer personal video player
