Permanently Removing the DVR Expander Under normal operating conditions, there is no reason to remove the DVR Expander. Removing the DVR Expander does not allow you to play your recordings on a different DVR. Because each recording is distributed equally between the DVR's internal drive and the DVR Expander, you cannot gain additional storage by using more than one DVR Expander. You should only remove the DVR Expander if you wish to stop using it. CAUTION: If you permanently remove the DVR Expander, you will lose all or most of your existing recordings on both the DVR and the DVR Expander. 1.
