Customer Reviews

Piece-a cake
Whole thing took 5 min., including unpacking from the shipping carton. Plug in AC, plugin data cable (included), plug into DVR, press A key to format, done. Went from 96% full to 22%, in a flash. Time warner cable, NYC, SciAtl. 8300HD

Great Deal
I had held off buying one of these because I felt the price was way too high. It was very easy to install and now I have all the storage I will ever need.

Peacekeeper
It does just exactly what it says it does. My family was in a constant battle over whose shows got recorded and whose didn't. Basic DVR would record about 10 hour long HD episodes and we were lost. Installed extender. Went from 90% full to <20%. Problem solved, for now anyway.
