LG TV not recognizing the HR54-500 dvr
I have a new LG 86UQ7070ZUD smart TV. I've connected it to the Direct TV HR54-500 DVR and it is not seeing the input. The HDMI cable is connected to the DVR and the HDMI arc connection (HDMI 2 input). Why doesn't the connection work? What can be done to see the DVR on the TV.

HR54 Genie eSATA Port
Looking at the specs and photos of the HR54 Genie, I see an eSATA port. Can I connect an external hard drive to that for extra storage? I know I can get double the capacity with the HS17 Genie 2, but I would rather have the newer model. Thank you.
