HD, DVR, Works great.

 

I used this for about 4 months, I never had a single issue and the picture quality was great. DVR was simple and straight forward, easy to record programs and easy to navigate. It was my first experience owning a HD/DVR and loved it.

Doesn't Compare to the 622

 

We've had Dish receivers for about 20 years, within a couple months of the Dish debut. They have become increasingly complex, and that's fine. We have had a 622 for a while now, guessing, three years. It is in our family room, just about seven feet...

Never had an issue with this receiver.

 

Purchased this from amazon and had it for a while until I switched providers. During that time I had no issues whatsoever with the unit. I was with dish network for some time and many issues which seem to be caused by the receiver are in fact not....

Flawless

 

I've had this since July 2011, I have yet to have a single issue with it. I have a 65" DLP Mitsu tv and the HD looks great, the Dish app is awesome if I'm out and about and want to set the DVR to record something. I payed $199.99 for it when I got it...

Should be a 0 Star choice

 

This is the WORST POS that Dish sells. I am a long time Dish Subscriber (12 years) I have my second 612 and it is as bad as the first one. At least 2-3 times per week this receiver will just freeze, this requires a "hard restart". It nearly always...

I have had several, they all break rapidly

 

I am on my 3rd one. they all break you lose all of your recordings and creates a giant hassle. I LOVE DISH NETWORK the bills are constantly readable and great price but the equipment failures drive me bananas. My satellite rarely ever loses signal even...

It's crap!

 

Apparently, the 612's HDMI connection does not work with with all HDTVs. My new Philips 32PFL3506/F7 32-inch 720p LCD HDTV does not recognize the HDMI connection. It works perfectly fine with the DISH 722 HD reciever. Stay away from the 612 as it's a...

Terrible DVR

 

I've never had a DVR that freezes up like this one. The good folks over at Dish Networks told me that all of the 'bugs' had been worked out. That was before I signed up for a two year contract. Now after exchanging it 3 times for another junk 612, they...

Nice features marred by many problems

 

We had this unit installed along with our DISH network service, and while we have found the DVR and guide features to be quite good, the implementation has left much to be desired. As others have noticed, this model produces large amounts of heat and...

I'm on day 3 of my contract and already have heart burn

 

I left D TV and switched to dish. I was told this DVR was free with contract. Nope. I'm leasing it. But that is not really my complaint... On my 2nd night of owning this jewel, I watched some of the recordings that I had made. Oh my. The recordings...
