## Questions & Answers

**Q: Some channels only record 5 programs, will this record all.**
A: It doesn't happen very often, but I've had my Genie recording five programs simultaneously on the DVRdaddy several times without issue. The Genie can record a maximum of five programs at once.

**Q: I love my dvrdaddy. since i am dumping directv, is there a way to repurpose it to another system, like my plex server?**
A: I also dumped directv and gifted mine to my niece, but I’m guessing you can you it as any other external hard drive

**Q: Directv doesn't support esata, so how does one connect to their box? because several people have told me using usb won't work!**
A: This expander will only work with DirecTV boxes which have an eSATA port. Since AT&T merged with DirecTV they change the design of their boxes so some set top boxes have eSATA ports and others do not. If you do not have an eSATA port on your box you will not be able to use any expander and are limited to your current internal hard drive. Thank you!

**Q: Does this work with tivo?  can i transfer shows already saved on the tivo dvr?**
A: Unfortunately, this expander is not compatible with TiVo DVRs, thanks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    This was a very nice and complete package.
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2016*

This was a very nice and complete package.  Everything you needed was included with this kit even the esata cable. It is a super easy set up and I had no issues with this drive. So far the drive is working perfect. The drive is quite and was much smaller in overall size than I thought looking at pictures.  The drive does not appear to have any lag and is playing back video perfectly.  The drive case does have a bright blue light on it but i just set the drive on the floor behind a dresser and its not an issue at night.  If it is a small piece of black tape solves that problem if it would bother you. I Highly recommend this DRVdaddy drive.  Remember when you connect an external drive to your DVR you loose the on board storage while its connected so order a larger drive to compensate for the loss. I am using this external drive with a Directv Genie HR 54 box.

    Lacking in customer support and warranty
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2018*

Initially it was a wonderful thing that worked really well.  I loved having so many movies and shows stored on my external DVR and only using a small fraction of the hard drive space.  Sadly, in 3 months time I began experiencing problems with the DVR hard drive.  My shows would freeze up or stop completely 5 minutes into a show.  I noticed that their's no phone number on their website so I went ahead and sent an email.  While I heard back a few days later, I shared my situation with the person and have heard absolutely nothing since then.  It appears at the moment that their's no effort to stand behind the product with their 2 year warranty.  I'd love to report back a different story to you all, but sadly this is where it stands.  Be careful if customer service and a product warranty are important to you.Update:  2-7-18  I've sent the owner an email a week, and he's refused to respond.  No phone number on the website can be found to call, so basically i'm screwed.  Think twice people... this guy does not stand behind his 2 year warranty in the least!

    The down side of this is you can not use ...
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2018*

The down side of this is you can not use it in addition to the space on dvr and you cannot transfer from dvr hard drive plus you have to reschedule all recordings and we are not sure that it’ll be useable if we ever leave direct tv
