Best Customer Review
I made the switch from using Cox Communications and Tivo over to the satellite services about a month ago and so far I’ve been very satisfied. Dish and DirecTv have solid deals at the moment that I suggest people to research on their websites. In short, it was cheaper for me to switch to a satellite service if I wanted HD and DVR services in the long run over Cox and TiVo.
As far as this DVR goes, I being loving it so far. 60 hrs of HD recording and 200+ of SD. I have 10 HD movies on it and I’m still barely past using half of its available space. The DVR can be hooked up to 2 separate TVs(one of them HD, the other has to be SD). I suggest you plan to have the TVs near each other unless you wish to run alot of cable across the house. Both TVs can access different recordings stored on the DVR at the same time, something very convenient for families. In addition the DVR can record two separate shows at once.
The only downside I’ve had with the DVR so far is that it’s not very user friendly. I have been completely spoiled though from using TiVo as Tivo’s strengths is to create very user friendly DVRs and have strong customer service. When comparing this DVR to my previous one it is a downgrade, but nothing like other poor reviews I’ve read online. It’s not that hard to use once you get use to it, you just wonder why Dish didn’t design their interface easier at times.
In terms of reliability, I’m no help here at the moment. I’ve only had the unit for a month, but I can say that I’ve had 0 issues so far. I will say though that the unit does get warm because it doesn’t have a fan that blows the heated air out (My TiVo unit did and never got a bit warm). Otherwise no weird glitches or anything of that sort.
Overall I’m very satisfied with the unit. One feature I hope to see in the later models is that they have the ability to connect 2 TVs with HD viewing on both and a little more user friendly interface. If the unit continues to be reliable, then I plan to be a Dish customer for the long run.
