I have multiple Moxi HD DVRs on my Home Network. Can they share their
recorded programs with each other and with connected Moxi Mates?
Generally, each Moxi device (Moxi HD DVRs and Mates) on your Home Network can access the
recorded content residing on any on-line Moxi HD DVR that is on the same Home Network. All
recorded content on connected Moxi HD DVRs displays in the Moxi Menu Recorded TV category of
all connected Moxi HD DVRs and Moxi Mates.
Recorded content can only be managed (select Delete or set Recording Options and Series
Options) from the Moxi HD DVR where the recording resides. The host Moxi DVR saves the last
stop point without regard to which networked Moxi device is viewing the recording. Although only
one stop point is saved, multiple devices can view the recorded content at the same time, from
different points.
How do I delete a recorded show?
You can select a recording in the list of recorded shows, and then press clear on the remote, or
choose delete from the action menu. Recorded shows cannot be deleted by other Moxi devices
which are accessing the program using Media Link.
Can I attach an external hard drive to add to the Moxi HD DVR recorded TV storage
space?
Yes. You can attach one DVR-certified* eSATA drive at a time for additional recorded TV storage
space. Multiple drives can be associated with a Moxi HD DVR, but only one can be used at a time.
When attached to a Moxi HD DVR, the external hard drive will be formatted (deleting existing
data) for use exclusively with the Moxi HD DVR to which it is attached. It is not possible to
retrieve the recorded data or to transfer it if the external hard drive is connected to other
devices. Refer to the Installation section of the User Guide for additional information.
*Currently there is one known non-DVR-certified external hard drive that has been successfully
tested with the Moxi HD DVR. For Moxi customers who want to build that giant TV-show or
movie-collection, the LaCie ―4big Quadra‖ external hard drive is the ultimate companion to the
Moxi HD DVR. The LaCie ―4big Quadra‖ comes in configurations of 4 and 6 Terabytes and can be
used with the Moxi HD DVR, yielding a combined HD DVR powerhouse of 4.5 or 6.5 Terabytes.
That’s up to 1000 hours HD/4000 hours SD of recordings!
My cable service provider uses Switched Digital Video (SDV)* technology. Will that
affect scheduled recordings?
Moxi automatically checks in with your provider whenever an SDV channel is being used for a
recording, preventing the SDV channel from being re-claimed during the recording.
For a scheduled recording, Moxi will make several attempts to tune to an SDV channel. If the SDV
channel is never available, the scheduled program will not record and will be listed in the Canceled
and Deleted section in Find & Record, with the notation Unavailable. Please contact your cable
service provider if you have questions about their SDV policies.
*See other SDV FAQs in this document for additional information.
