Will current HD DVRs have ext. drive capability when 1.9 rolls out or ONLY the new 500 GB DVR box?

Got the email about the $40 upgrade to the 500 GB Motorola box.  I realize that once 1.9 is FINALLY rolled out, the box will have eSATA capability to tack on a supplemental HD.  My question is, can I just not pay their $40 for the new box and instead wait until 1.9 is rolled out, and then be able to use the currently useless USB port on my current silver Motorola 160 GB HD box to hook up a 1TB drive that I can get for less than the $40 upgrade fee?
Are they are any OTHER advantages to the new box over the existing ones (feature and capability wise...I don't care about recycled materials, less energy usage, etc)?

All the 7xxx series DVRs will support an external drive.  There are no plans to utilize the USB port - too slow to support MRDVR.
The 7232 has more memory (not just the disk) and is smaller, black, and supposed to use less energy (I know you said you don't care, but I mention it anyway).

  • Verizon Online Chat sez the new 500 GB DVR is not available in Plano, TX, does this sound right?

    I just got off chat with Verizon about ordering FiOS TV and 3 x DVRs. They told me the high capacity DVR is still not available in my area (Plano, TX). Is anyone in my area using the new hi-capacity DVR ???
    Thanks!

    It is available in Plano because we got ours. After receiving the email that we could upgrade we went into the store and exchanged ours out.

  • The computer my ipod touch was synced to crashed and i had to get a new hard drive. When I tried to sync it with the new hard drive, it said that is was registered with a different apple id and i would have to erase everything to sync it. help!!!!!!!!!!!!

    how do i sync it with the compter without deleting all data?

    The first thing you can do is transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod Touch to your PC.  To do this, choose File -> Transfer Purchases in iTunes.  You should authorize your new PC before doing this by clicking the Store drop down menu and selecting Authorize this Computer. Then enter in your Apple ID/iTunes Store account credentials.
    For all other content that was not purchased from the iTunes store, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different software available to assist you with this task.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Finally, right->click on your iPod Touch under the Devices section in iTunes, and choose Backup.  Then after erasing and syncing your iPod, restore from that back up.  Or better yet, copy a backup from your old PC to your new one if at all possible. Here is more information on backing up and restoring your iPod .  Doing so will restore all of your App data.

  • New 500 GB DVR Multi Room Not working!

    I received the new 500 GB DVR this past Friday and set it up over the weekend. I'm having issues with viewing the new content on the new DVR with other STBs.
    I've tried rebooting all the boxes and unplug each one but still get the same message that There was error connecting to the DVR STB. It's almost like the boxes are trying to still access the previous DVR. I tried to submit to Verizon Support on Twitter and it's been 3 days without hearing back if they had a solution. They tell me the same cut and paste message they give everyone to DM them on Twitter and here is the link to the form but then you don't hear back at all.
    Has anyone else experienced issues with the new 500 GB DVR and Multi Room access?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I switched from a 7216 MR-DVR to a 7232 and had tech support switch the MR feature to the new box, and have no problems. The STBs and DVRs talk to each other on their own little MoCA network. COAX or splitter issues can cause problems. Router not involved. I have MRDVR running and all routing functions are turned off on the Actiontec, and the the WAN ports are not even connected. The Actiontec is bridge LAN to MoCA. My router is a Linux box. The Actiontec does filter STB broadcast traffic from my LAN. It sees no MoCA traffic except for VOD and guide updates. All other UDP broadcast traffic is blocked on the bridge.
    The hub errors people were seeing on the older 1.7 img were not HUB as in router related. The hub acts as the master on the MoCA network. Looking at the STB diagnostic menu D16 for "Connected Home" my DVR shows as the hub and is verified by the MAC address my Linux box assigns an IP address to. If you are having Multi Room DVR issues I can almost guarantee that it is not a router issue. Check and make sure you have good quality RG-6 coax and the proper splitter(s). Make sure there is no line loss or interference between the boxes. Also make sure Multi Room is assigned properly only to the DVR wanting to be the Multi Room DVR. It can not be assigned to more than one DVR. Now with the 1.9 image the rules may change, but I am not sure. Right now it is my understanding that only one DVR can be the HUB. Now that may be changing, we will need to wait and see. I believe it will change.
    Now back to removing the old DVR and having Multi Room Enabled on your new DVR. You may want to have both DVRs connected so the feature can be disabled on the old DVR and enabled on the new. If you do not do this and reconnect the old DVR you may end up with two trying to act as HUBs. May not work well with 1.8. Not saying I know for sure, and my assumptions are only based on observations. But when I had Multi Room moved from old to new, both my DVRs were connected, and my system works great.

  • New 500 GB DVR

    Will the new 500 GB DVR be able to tape more than 2 shows at once?
    It is a pain to be watching one live show and not be able to record 2 shows on different networks.
    This is the main reason I wanted more capacity.

    The only company that has more than two tuners is ATT U-verse. From what I've seen, they've had issues with the 4 tuner setup and I have a feeling that is why most other companies do not follow suit. The 2 tuner setup is a well established and for the most part, trouble free system. The only other way to get more than two tuners is to go 3rd party (the Ceton Cable card system for example)

    I will then download and install a new version of itunes on my new computer.
    My question is this. When I do this, will itunes have all my album artwork for all my library? My library has a lot of my own music and I have spent quite a bit of time copying album artwork that itunes did not add. I am really hoping I don't have to do this again!

  • I am using FCPX 10.1.3. and want to duplicate my project, and its complete resources, to a different hard drive.  When I click "duplicate", it automatically duplicates the project in its current hard drive.  How do duplicate to a different hard drive

    I am using FCPX 10.1.3. with Yosemite, and want to duplicate my project and its complete resources to a different hard drive.  When I click "duplicate", it automatically duplicates the project in its current hard drive, unlike the previous FCPX that gave you options. How do duplicate to a different hard drive?

    Since projects are now stored in events and events are stored in libraries, you need to create a new l;bray on that different drive or open an existing library on that drive. Then duplicate your project and move it to the new library. It will copy the media. Then use the Consolidate Project File command to round up any external assets; there may or may not be any.

  • I have a Olympus C-3000 and it won't read in the new iphoto.  It reads in my old version on my older computer.  Is there a driver I need or something else?

    I have a Olympus C-3000 and it won't read in the new iphoto.  It reads in my old version on my older computer.  Is there a driver I need or something else?

    Yes, different computers, different OS's, as stated, does not work on any machine except PPC.
    Nothing in console logs.  Does not show up in USB under system profiler.
    Level 1 tech support.  "May be this" or "may be that", but all a waste of time unless someone has the actual camera and can independently verify my results.
    If it were just a matter of it happening on one machine that would be one thing.  The fact that it only does not work on Intel based machines (and thus Snow Leopard and Lion) it is a pretty good indicator that something is missing in the OS.

    The iPhone under normal circumstances does not store contacts on the SIM Card. It can read them, but again under normal circumstances does not write them to the SIM Card.
    When you sync your new iPhone to iTunes on your usual computer you can restore from a Back-Up of your old iPhone to get Contacts and other data and files installed on your new iPhone.

    You're question is hard to follow. Are you looking to rename your master files to the version name? Or are you looking to do something with IPTC caption field and the masters?

    I tried shifting the Profile folder contents from the old to the new, that seemed to work but I kept getting a message that my security was affected and that the problem could be in that folder so I shifted it back.

    Hello Kencrews,
    When you connect the iPod to the computer and iTunes is authorized for your Apple ID, then you will get a prompt to transfer the purchases from the device to the computer. Keep in mind this will only transfer purchased items from the iTunes Store.
    Here is a helpful article to assist getting that done.
