| Trying to decide on an HDTV service provider can be an exhausting task. A system from the Dish Network with their TurboHD programming will deliver the best quality picture straight to your screen with the industry’s ONLY 100% HD programming.
The ViP722 and ViP622 HDTV satellite receivers from Dish Network are the perfect devices for HD-programming. Pictures seem realistic with deep vivid colors. The ViP722 HD DVR is the top-of-the-line receiver from Dish Network. The new ViP722 DVR has all of the features of the ViP622, but with a larger recording capacity. The ViP722 can record up to 350 hours of standard-definition programming versus 200 hours for the ViP622. The ViP722 has a recording capacity of up to 55 hours of high-definition programming and the ViP622 is capable of 30 hours of HD recording. Both receiver’s have great picture quality and you can rewind and pause recorded or live shows. With either receiver you can record a live show while watching a previosly recorded program at the same time. Both HD DVR’s have received CNET’s “Editor’s Choice” award. |

| I switched from Tivo/DirecTV to Dishnetwork. What I’ve found is that each side has drawbacks that could be easily rectified with simple programming – or if each system just took the benefits of the other. Tivo is overall an easier interface to use, but there were some significant drawbacks that Dishnetwork has solved. But, there are an equal amount of drawbacks that Dishnetwork could easily solve but have not (as mentioned above). Also, the 30 hours of HD space gets filled up very quickly – to my surprise. Once you start watching HD, you find normal programming to be very poor. So, I focus on HD recordings and am always full. | |

| I had HD receivers since 1998 and this is one of the best units I ever had. It does everything.. Records in HD while watching another HD program. Set timer for favorite HD programming. Stop live TV anytime and resume at your own pace ! Picture in Picture feature works great. Also can be used on two separate TV and to different programs. HDMI works great on my Sony 7.1 surround sound system. Once you run out of storage space , simply call dish network and purchase an external hard drive for this great receiver. Great quality unit! LOVE THIS RECEIVER 10+++++++++++++++++++ | |

| The DVR hardware is easy and intuitive to use. Very convenient sharing 1 DVR and two TV’s. Ethernet port on the back negates need to plug in a phone line and adds functionality by letting you download movies. Great filters on guide allow me to browse channels by favorites. | |
