Why does my Direct TV DVR have USB ports?

There are two USB ports on my Direct TV DVR. If I plug in with my iPhone, USB, etc, what kinds of things can I do?

I thin it's dedicated. I have a wireless receiver hooked to my DVR and I think that went into the USB.

Our DVR (Dish TV) has a USB port for connecting an external hard drive to increase storage. We have a 1 TB drive which will hold maybe 100 movies.

My USB ports are not working, how do I fix it? I have A Dell laptop, the newer ones, and I just purchased and iPhone and I tried plugging it in and my laptop won't pick up the device. There's no message that says the device is unreadable it just doesn't pick it up. I have a webcam that doesn't pick up anymore either. I don't know what I did or what to do. So if someone could please help, that'd be great

My Computers USB Ports not working? Recently, whenever I would unplug something in my Compaq computer it would make the USB port completely useless I can't put anything in there anymore and I've tried a lot of things however I can't use my mouse and keyboard because USB ports are working and it is the USB wireless adapter and the iPhone charger I have in there so is there anyway I can fix it without like downloading anything?
