KodiakJack Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Is there a method to watch the programs I have recorded on the external hard drive connected to my receiver when not connected to the the DISH satellites?

billr Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 We have the Hopper 3 and yes we can. You just will have it saying searching for signal. Just press DVR and your set.

Second Chance Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 It depends on your receiver. We have not been able to do this with 211x or Wally receivers without the antenna connected and locked onto at least one satellite. I asked Dish and they confirmed this is the case for the single-tuner "RV" receivers with external hard drives.

KodiakJack Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 I did like Bill suggested and it worked. The Wally looked for satellites like he said but we were able to view everything on the connected external HD. BTW the Wally's wireless worked too and I used it to watch Netflix. Thanks again.
