I have Dish network, and got a good deal online on a 2 TB external drive. After the fact, I learned they don't advise using a drive bigger than 1 TB, why I am not quite sure. Yet, when I got it, it recognized it, let me format it, and in a few months I had only about 700 GB left. The way I tape shows, I need the 2 TB and then some!
now, after an update, the damn thing doesn't pull up anymore! I either get that it does not recognize it, or it acts like it is going to work and then when you click on "Manage Device", it freezes with a black miniscreen, which after a long pause just pulls up the TV station I was previously viewing. And I cannot abort this (get back the full screen) without pulling the plug on the external drive.
If it does pull up and I click on "send to device" instead of managing it, I can send to it and it does so sucessfully and gives the proper amount of GB left, but it won't pull up! It seems like the external now thinks it is another Dish Receiver! How do I correct this and watch or at least salvage/transfer what is on it?
thanks in advance!
