How would i set up an external hard drive to burn DVD's from my Dish network DVR?

Question

I want to burn the things that i have recorded to dvd's to keep my dvr's hard drive open vand free... How would i set that up?

Do i just need an external hard drive and to plug it in or is there more to it?

What is the best external DVD burner?

Answer 1

I don't know if you can transfer to a burner but you can transfer programs to a external hard drive.  You have to have certain receivers with a USB port on it.  Call Dish 800 333 3474 and they will activate the port (it's a $40 fee).  Then you plug in the external hard drive and are able to transfer the programs to it.  

Answer 2

Cucusoft Video to DVD Creator is a good choice. It converts popular video formats such as AVI, MPEG, WMV, DivX, DV, VOB to DVD and burn DVD movie played on portable or home DVD player. Any video to to VCD/DVD/SVCD is even faster than real-time.
