    I'm not a geek but I might be able to help.

    First you have to have a usb port on DVR

    Second Comcast has to let you do that.

    Third you would have to have the hard drive formatted to their system. Dish network charges 35.00 to do that.

    Contact Comcast and see if it is possible with their system. There is a good chance that they are not set up for that.

    That is one reason why I like Dish Network because they recommend that for maximum recording space.
