My opinion after a week of use

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: Go with the lease option with 18 month commitment till they introduce a higher capacity / 1080p model in the future.
Review: I just want to start off by saying that I've been a Dish Network customer since '99 and have always been completely satisified with the service that I have received. I just recently begun to have a few problems with my old Dish 721 DVR after about...

Awesome receiver Jump into HD right!

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2007
Review: This is an awesome receiver, we immediately purchased this receiver after buying an HD LCD TV. We are thrilled with what we got! This receiver has everything and room to expand. It has HDMI, Component out, S-Video out, and Composite out. It will...

Better HD for all...

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: The ViP622 DVR provides a ton of features and viewing options. Anyone with an HDTV should take a closer look at this gem of an STB.
Review: Planning/Purchase:
I was a DirecTV subscriber for several years before deciding to delve into the HD arena and after many phone calls to Direct, I found that my most cost effective (read cheapest) upgrade path was to switch providers and invest...

Much Faster Than Other DVR's I've Had

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2007
Review: We just pulled the plug on Charter and went with Dishnetwork and the new 622. So far I like it, this box is definitely faster than the previous HD-DVR's we've had in the last two years (one from Comcast and the abysmally slow and featureless MOXI...

Better than TiVo.

Date of Review:  Sep 3, 2009
The Bottom Line: The low cost of entry and low monthly cost were enough for me to switch.  The features are what keep me coming back.
Even TiVo zealots can't argue that.
Review: I've noticed that there aren't any recent reviews, and since the last review, Dish has continued to make improvements and enhancements to the software, and a lot of the complaints of other reviewers have been corrected. This review is based on the...

Good when it consistently works, but it constantly freezes and reboots

Date of Review:  May 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this product unless you rarely watch TV and have hardly any programs you want to record, otherwise you will be extremely frustrated/disappointed with this product.
Review: I have owned one of these for about a year now (actually I have owned 5 different of the same VIP622 model over the year because DISH has sent me replacements, but I'll get to that later). The product itself on paper is nice, it has an excellent...

Great - if it's actually working!

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2007
Review: We have had our HD system for about a year, this is our second 622 receiver. We had many different problems with the first one and Dish replaced it with another one. Didn't help much. During the last year we have experienced problems with the...

Makes you appreciate Tivo

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: User interface, programming guide and remote are all inferior if you've used Tivo, but two-room DVR access is compelling for people tired of waking up in the living room.
Review: This review is of the very similar but newer 722 DVR and service.

Dish Network does NOT know their own product. In the course of switching to this unit from a Direct Tv/Tivo I had seven people at the company, including three installers,...

VIP622 - Two failed units. Jittery sound.

Date of Review:  Oct 29, 2008
Review: I have received two different VIP622 units from Dish Network, and both have the same problem: Sound dropouts during playback of recorded programs.  There frequently are gaps in the sound, even when the picture is OK.  This only happens on recorded...
