Has anyone had luck in connecting an external HD to this DVR (TW Cable Cincinnati).

I bought a Seagate showcase and followed the instructions to set up. The DVR initially recognized the drive but I didn't act in time to format it. I tried resetting everything a couple of times but now the DVR does recognize the drive or give me a prompt to format it.

Thanks to all that respond.

Your question really belongs in the HDTV Recorders (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=42) forum. Check the Time Warner DVR thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=723830).
