## Questions & Answers

**Q: How noisy is this drive?**
A: I wouldn't say that this unit is very quiet. The level of hard drive noise is high enough that an exposed cabinet (no doors) for the hard drive can be heard in a medium size room during quiet scenes of movies and tv shows. But this unit is quieter than most other hard drives I've had in this capacity size when relatively full.

**Q: Does this strictly work only for direct tv, or could it work on a fios dvr?**
A: This expander will only work with the DirecTV HR34, HR44, and HR54. We have expanders which will work with Fios DVRs on our website DVRdaddy. Thanks!

**Q: does it work with tivo**
A: I have a Moxi which is similar to a TIVO and it worked wonders.  It moved many of my recorded shows to the external drive and now I went from 50% full down to 5% full overnight.  You would need to call the manufacturer because they would need to know the model number I would think.

**Q: Can you transfer recordings from my receiver to this hard drive?**
A: DirecTV does not allow you to transfer the recordings from the internal hard drive to the external expander. But you will not lose the recordings as you can access either the internal hard drive OR the external expander. Thanks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great capacity but a bit noisy
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2018*

Attaching to the DirecTV Genie was easy.  Worked as advertising, giving a 6X improvement in recording space for programs.Besides the annoyingly bright blue LED's (fixed with black tape), I was disappointed by the level of fan noise.  I wouldn't call it loud, but the DVRdaddy fan is much noisier than the Genie alone.  My wife immediately noticed the difference.  Probably something you can just get used to and live with.  Remember the DVRdaddy will be on 24/7 for most people.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ESATA PORT!
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019*

I was never able to install this because the newest Directv HR54(mine was manufactured 11/2018) does not have an ESATA port. The vendor said I could not use the USB port so I will have to send it back. Just be sure you have an ESATA port before you order it. (I ordered mine before they installed the HR54 because the description said it was compatible so I didn’t know).

    Product look good and was easy to install
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016*

Product look good and was easy to install.My DTV HR54 formatted the 6TB HD with no problems.I only gave it 4 stars cause of the following:Only complaint I do have is WHY did you put blinking blue lights on this HD enclosure?  This annoyed the hell out of me and there are two of them.  Had to cover them with black electrical tape to hide them from view.  WHY on earth would I want 2 blinking blue lights staring me in the face as I watch TV?  You do not need these activity lights if that's what they are, I will know unit is working if I can see my recorded programs.Just a on light would of been plenty that does not blink.________________________________________________________________PS:  Changed my review to 5 stars for the following reason.I contacted DVR Daddy support about the blinking lights and they sent me a PDF file on how easy it is to unplug the lights.  Just take out the 4 screws, lift the lid and there is the plug for the lights.  Just unplug it and no more lights annoying you.If you buy one and the lights bother you too send support a message and I am sure they will send you the .pdf also, has pictures to so you know what your doing, just one page.  I would link it but since it's a .pdf and not a internet source no idea how :)
