DISH DVR625

Pros: Ease of use and ease of learning a new product.

Cons: Not one single on comes to mind!

Review: We had burned up so many VCRs that it was time to go digital. I'm VCR illiterate and PC driven. I figured it all out in a matter of about 15 minutes. My wife is VCR literate and basically was pick up the remote and run. Lots of menus means lots of ...

Pros: easy to use, lots of options

Cons: a little bulky compared to my other stuff.

Review: I got DVR and I will never live with out it again. I can watch Desperate Housewives and speed through commercials. I can keep up with shows that I otherwise don't have the time to watch. I love the options that you have as far as recording every ...

Pros: Nice PVR options, good remote, good picture quality.

Cons: Another remote for the caddy, DVR recording and deletion problematic, no actual USB support

The Bottom Line: It is a good player, but don't rely on the technicians for perfect set-up with your home-theatre system. PVR is a plus, but the options could be refined a bit.

Review: We recently subscribed to the Dish Network and upgraded to a receiver with a personal video recorder (PVR). After quite a few installation headaches (the first attempt they were a no-show and the second attempt was 3 hours late and finished at about ...

Pros: Lots of programming with a great digital video recorder.

Cons: Operation of remote and video recorder requires some "teckie" skill.

The Bottom Line: Check out Dish Network and compare to cable service or Direct TV......it may be your best option. Only you can really tell.

Review: After years of getting cable television via Adelphia (remember their scandal?), I decided to switch over to the DISH Network. That was over two years ago. My original installation included a DTV receiver, which was just replaced because the first one ...

Pros: Records tons of shows, works perfectly with program guide, many features and settings

Cons: Takes a little while to learn everything it does

The Bottom Line: The DISH DVR 625 has been a reliable and useful center for my satellite TV service. I highly recommend it.

Review: I hooked up with DISH network almost a year ago and I am so glad I went with the DVR option. I have the dual tuner, standard definition 100-hour recording model. As the title of my review implies, this is my first DVR and I love it. I rarely watch ...

Pros: Easy to use, great features, no more missed shows

Cons: there are none

The Bottom Line: Love it and highly recommend this product for anyone.

Review: I have this and I absolutely love this thing. We have had it for about one and one half years and now we wouldn't know what to do without it. We can set up programs to be recorded even when we are not around. It records just one show, a show each ...

Pros: Clear picture; Flexible recording options

Cons: Menu system can get confusing; Longer learning curve

The Bottom Line: This is a good DVR device, but it could be better with a little tweeking.

Review: Satellite television is something I never used in the past. With the popularity of standard cable and the competitive companies to choose from, I always stuck with basic cable for my television needs. But today, I have a new home in a new state so I ...

Pros: 2 separate tivo functions

Cons: Hot, hot, hot. LARGE.

Review: All 522 receivers I have put in (orig plus 4 replacements) has had one or more problems. Bad cooling fan, bad switch, bad 2nd tv output, more. Need to reset it often to keep it ...
