"Way better than ivo." on by matt3046
Pros: The 722, is awesome,
it just works , and works well.Cons: Hooking it to more than one tv will not work if someone else might be using "tv2"
The 612vip is a better option.Summary: Great machine almost all of the cons in the main review have been fixed.
All the problems you are talking about have been fixed.
Well worth the extra $5 a month.

Dish now uses nothing but HD boxes on all new install and will give you up to five at no extra. As far as the box turning itself back on,what is the diff?
'It will still record any timers.
Oh and tivo has no dvr that can output two hd signals either.
Updated on Jun 28, 2009Bad news he is right, yall are wrong.
Tivo makes junk.
Updated on Jun 28, 2009Your wife is dumb.
This thing is too easy to use. (my 6 year old can do it)
Part of the problem is that you were not clear about what you wanted when you ordered it. You did not research it. "You called in and told them you wanted what ever is the cheapest.
And I promise you there is no pay tv service as cheap as dish.
As far as what the guy told you about the hard drive, let me tell you why he told you that.\
He went out to fix a problem but instead got to hear you complain about every single thing you could think of.
So he made up a reason for your fictitious problem. He gave you a bs answer to a bs problem. -
"Dish Network ViP722 HD DVR is not ready!" on by as901
Pros: It turns on.
Cons: Once it turns on and records for a while, you will note missing parts of recordings and many, many crashes, freezes and self resets.
Summary: Bottom line. Dish support is told to lie and claim they "do not know of any problems". That is impossible, since all my neighbors have the same troubles with the box!

"Not even close to Tivo!" on by jenningsmusic
Pros: Very little actually
Cons: There are dozens of features that Tivo had and this DVR doesn't have. I really miss my Tivo!
Summary: The bottom line is Dish TV said and is still saying that their DVR is better than Tivo. Nothing could be further from the truth. I used Tivo for almost ten years and was drawn in by Dish with empty promises and discount contracts when I switched to HD. Now I wish I had never heard of Dish!

"Dish TERRIBLE Network PIPS YOU OFF" on by clydeelder
Pros: Very Little
Cons: They have a policy of destroying your personal equipment if sent to them by mistake. They give NO notice by any means before robbing you of equipment and destroying it. They simply only apologize for "inconvenience" after a BBB complaint is filed.
Summary: Once again Dish TERRIBLE Network has refused to replace or refund me for my equipment I sent to them in error. Despite my filing a Better Busines Bureau Complaint, they simply offer an apology for inconvenience. They took my personal property and destroyed it without any notification to me, in any form, by any route. I mistakenly sent my DVD recorder with a hard drive to them. It looked similar to the dish receiver I was returning to them and I just packed the wrong one. They were both out of my media tower, which I was rearranging after switching to DirecTV. They continue and adamantly refuse to compensate me or replace my DVD recorder with hard drive. They show a total disregard for other's personal property, yet would charge me without hesitation for keeping and destroying their property.
