The Showcase™ DVR storage expander provides easy additional storage of up to 200 hours of HD or 1000
hours of standard definition content. With the Showcase DVR storage expander you can build your library of
video entertainment without having to figure out what TV shows and movies you have to delete to make room for
something new. It’s whisper-quiet, cool-running, and simple to setup. The Showcase storage expander lies flat
or stands vertically to complement your home entertainment environment. With two interface models available,
please check with your local cable or satellite service provider to find out which solution is right for you.
Choose between USB or eSATA interface models and simply plug the Showcase storage expander directly into
your DVR and begin recording more of your favorite TV shows and movies*. Your total recording capacity is
expanded and all your stored TV shows and movies are accessible just like before. The DVR treats the two-
device solution as if it were one pool of storage.
With the USB interface model, plug the showcase storage expander into an available USB port on your DVR and
you are ready to record more of your favorite TV shows and movies* Your total recording capacity is increased
and your DVR treats the Showcase storage expander as a second source of storage for older recordings.
