Our SA8300HD died and the cable company provided us with an SA8000HD as a loaner (and it looks like they're letting us keep it). I have a couple of questions about external HDs.
First, do WK's externals support this unit? I assume it's SARA software because it behaves exactly like the 8300HD (actually I don't really know the difference). The WK site doesn't mention this model.
Also, if we buy an external HD from WK and hook it up to the 8000, how difficult is it to move to a replacement 8300HD when the company takes their 8000 back (or when the 8000 dies)? I expect we would lose all the programming on both the external drive and on the DVR itself, but the only circumstance in which we'd be changing it, is if we can's use the DVR and would be losing all that programming anyway (I suppose we could burn DVDs of the most critical, if the DVR were still working).
Thanks!
