My Passport Ultra

We bought it with the advice of a Directv rep to increase our recording capability with the Genie. It’s plugged in and is “working” althought i can’t tell if it’s automatically going to store the programming when the Genie runs out of storage space. Is there any way to know that it’s doing the job when the time comes?  The Genie, itself, is not showing any increased storage capability with the Passport connected.

Hi VBMax, welcome to the WD Community, I recommend you to check the Genie manual for information on this. Personally I haven’t tried using it for this, but maybe some of the other users can also share some advice.
