Trying to transfer server to Synology DS920+ and getting an error
I tried installing same spk file to my DS218+ with no issues (same DSM 7 version on both machines)
Any advice please?

This could happen if there's a volume called ChannelsDVR already present
Nope. I only have one volume, creatively called volume 1!
a share in that volume i mean
I just searched all folders and files on the Synology for "ChannelsDVR" and nothing shows up.
Okay then it must be something else.
Does it show as installed now? Can you delete and reinstall it maybe?
What is the exact version of DSM on each NAS?
Each NAS has DSM 7.0.1-42218.
No luck getting it to start after deleting and reinstalling, even after restarting the NAS.
Also, if it matters, the 920+ has all of my files and folders -it's my main machine, while the older 918+ has just recently been commissioned so has only the operating system on it (no files/folders)
Did you ever have Channels DVR installed on that DS-920+ ?
If so, did you uninstall it before trying to install the DSM7 version?
P.S. A bit confusing where you mention both a DS218+ and DS918+, you have both?
My bad.....I don't have a 918+, it should read 218+. I never installed Channels DVR on the 920+ before today's attempt.
Only thing I can think of is the DS-920+ has problems downloading files over the internet to complete the installation.
Try installing again but uncheck this box.
After it fails, before touching anything, see if it created the shared folder /volume1/ChannelsDVR
You are trying to install the new DSM 7 version ChannelsDVR_1.1.0.spk from here, right?
I followed your recommendations but still got the same error message and no shared folder was created.
I downloaded the .spk from the getchannels.com site you indicated (and it worked on the DS218+)
I'm out of ideas if you're using the new DSM 7 version package ChannelsDVR_1.1.0.spk
Appears it downloaded its code to /volume1/@appstore/ChannelsDVR/channels-dvr
But it was supposed to create the shared folder /volume1/ChannelsDVR on install.
I’ve seen some report that the share is hidden and doesn’t show in the UI, but they can see it via SSH. Possible that is biting you here maybe?

Thanks for this. I've used Putty to SSH into Synology but I'm not experienced enough to proceed further. Can you help with instructions to get into volume1 to see the shares?
It may be easier if you use an SFTP client
Unfortunately I'm not experienced with this. However, I did just try to create a Channels DVR share to see what would happen and I got the message that one already exists! So deleting that (hidden) share may unlock the rest of the installation. I just need direction on how to proceed.
Making progress.....I can see the ChannelsDVR share but I've been denied permission to delete it.
Are you connecting as admin/root?
