The unit was delivered to me in a nonworking condition. I contacted the manufacturer but they were not at all interested except to say it was J&Rs problem.They then hung up the phone in my ear. Cost was $12.60 (UPS)to return unit to J&R plus I guess I’m stuck with the shipping charges to send the unit to me. Won’t know that for sure until J&R issues a credit.

This is not so much an expander for DirecTV users but a storage replacement. Installing this unit makes your existing internal drive unusable. So you do receive more space but not expansion of the existing space. I call Aprocorn and even though the web site indicates that the DirecTV HD20 and HD21 are supported, they indicate that there are some caveats. In addition, they have no instructions to add the unit to a DirecTV DVR.
The unit does work but I an feeling very mislead with the product information.

This was a breeze to hook up to my DVR but it died right after the Amazon return window expired. I have a return in process with Apricorn but it cost me $15 to ship this back to them.
Update: the 2nd unit Apricorn shipped to me died after one week, and an email I sent to Apricorn about all of this has been unanswered for a week.

I bought this from another popular online retailer and the crashed in a matter of days. Customer support was excellent in shipping me a new unit but it took time in getting the new unit to me and when the new unit did get to my DVR the storage drive started to make grinding noises all by itself – and this was when nothing was being recorded to it. It was also hard to setup as it stated it was setup on the TV and than it was not recognized by the DVR. Total frustration – and this is from someone with over 20 years experience working in IT. I know a piece of bad candy when I see it. All in all I am sure they are trying hard to get their product out there but I think they are trying to fast.

This thing worked out of the box, but really let us down three weeks later. All recorded programs disappeared for no reason, unrecoverable.
We recently got HD tv through Oceanic time-warner, with a Scientific Atlanta 8300HDC DVR which is supposedly supported.
It worked initially, which was great. So since we’ve been busy since the holidays, I’ve been taking a lot of time to (painstakingly) go through the kludgy SA 8300 menu and set it to record a bunch of movies and shows in high def… I’ve probably spent 20 hours just in programming time to fill half of the external drive with a lot of great HD content.
And then, yesterday morning, for no reason, it all failed. When turning the DVR on (the external drive is always on), all the shows were “there” in the recorded menu. But… nothing we recorded after installing the external apricorn drive would play.
Even worse was when I pressed the button to see how much usable space the DVR thought it had. I figured that it would show either 45% if both drives were recognized, or 25% if only the internal drive was being addressed. To my horror, it showed 3%, meaning that it could “see” both drives but was treating the external one as though it was empty. Indeed, in the hour afterward, when I couldn’t get any answer from Apricorn, a pre-set recording happened and it recorded to the external drive – you can tell by the pulsing of the LED – presumably overwriting the other recorded shows. THAT show played back fine.
So what we have here is a product that is volatile as hell when used with a SA 8300HDC. I will never trust it again, since it can – for no reason – take all your carefully archived shows and spontaneously delete them.
While this is a quirk of the DVR, it falls upon Apricorn, who has sold many thousands of these and undoubtedly knew this was a possibility… and chose not to mention it. Time-warner is very clear about not guaranteeing that external drives will work, while Apricorn DID say it would work.
The whole benefit of HAVING an external drive is being able to save shows. Now that we know we can’t trust this DVR/Drive combination, it isn’t worth much to us. We’ll see if Apricorn gives us our money back, we bought it directly through them and not Amazon. Might have been safer to buy through Amazon but they didn’t have it in stock then.
I’m still feeling queasy about this. Again, we did NOT lose power, we did NOT touch the drive, we did nothing – it just spontaneously overwrote weeks of recorded shows, some of which will be hard to ever find again. So don’t buy this for an 8300 HDC DVR unless you’re OK with losing everything you’ve recorded…. with no notice and no recovery.
