Q: Where should I place the DVR Expander drive in an entertainment center? A: It is up to you. However, do not obstruct the front panels of the DVR Expander drive as this will reduce its cooling airflow. Note: Some electronic components have vent holes in the tops and sides allowing heat to escape. Do not stack the DVR Expander on top of, or block the vent holes of, other components in your entertainment center. Q: How will I know when the DVR Expander drive is almost out of recording space? A: When trying to schedule the next recording, the DVR will provide an on screen warning if there is insufficient space available. If this is the case, you may need to delete some previously recorded programs. Q: What if my DVR malfunctions or my cable provider decides to upgrade or swap out my DVR with a new one? A: Any previously recorded content on your DVR Expander will not be available for viewing on your new DVR, and the DVR Expander will have to be reformatted before use, causing all recordings that were previously saved to be erased.
