...this is a very nice dish player dvr. It really is very good to have in your home especially if you are not goona be home or you are wanting to tape a show that you thought you were going to miss. It is very simple and easy to use. It is just like a vcr is what my wife says but without a tape. It is really better than a vcr to use.

Advantages: Perfect playback, Perfect sound. Record and skip commercials. Remote.
Disadvantages: Not worth mentioning.

Don't even think twice if you get this dvr when you join dish-net you don't have any concerns. I am a very objective person when I tell someone about a product and I don't have anything bad to say about this dvr. From the button placement to the dvr features over 90 hours of recording. Imagine this record with search your favorite shows. Now imagine skipping through the commercials and a recording as good as the original. You can rewind from live ...
...sports or news and without the obnoxious sounds that the tivo makes. I wouldn't even consider direct tv if they didn't have the same maker of this dvr. Now check this out! The remotes are wireless-what does that mean you say. Well you can change the channel in another room. That means you can buy a wireless tv transmitter and you can put satelite in your indoor gym without having a satellite box and you can change the channel from your gym in another ... Read review

...2004, I bought Hubby a Tivo for Christmas. I wasn't sure if he would like it or not, because he's not one to like paying a monthly fee. But wow, do we love having it. It's the coolest thing ever! Ok, maybe not the coolest, but very helpful. Basically, Tivo is a Digital Video Recorder or "DVR". The cable and satellite tv companies have come out with their own DVR's. But after having the Dish Network DVR on another TV, we both agree that it's not Tivo...not ...
...just look to see what TiVo recorded! It'll even "learn" what you enjoy (you get to rate shows using the thumbs up/down buttons on the remote control) and will record shows that it thinks you will like. TiVo does get a little confused if more than one person is rating the shows, because Hubby and I have different tastes and it thinks we're one person. This feature can be turned off, however, and we have since done so. Initially, setting it up was ... Read review
