Pros: Great channel selection, excellent picture quality, cheaper than cable. Cons: Only operates one t.v. without extra expense. Spotty reception in bad weather.
Moving day was fast approaching last spring, and we had to make a decision, stay with the sub-par, expensive cable or upgrade to a satellite system. After thinking long and hard and weighing the pro's and con's of both options, my husband and I easily...
Maybe I'm just generally unlucky but Dish network is sending me my third system as the first two have both died on me. Before you can get to the point where they send you a new receiver, you have to go through hours of the same old "fix" attempts by...
Pros: Personal TV, WebTV, Excellent channel selection. Cons: Had to be reset constantly, bad customer support, Price, goes out in the rain.
This reciever/satellite/WebTV combo had tons and tons of features for an attractive price. That is the main reason I bought it. It worked wonderfully for the first couple of months but then something must have happened.
Pros: Well made, great remote, TV pause is addictive Cons: A few setup quirks, slow menus, hard drive noise
I was a DirecTV customer for two years before moving over to Dish Network and the Dishplayer 7100 system. I had been considering a Tivo or ReplayTV and thought the Dishplayer would be a good alternative to either of those products.
Pros: Pause Live TV, Record digitally, skips ads, DISH receiver, WebTV, EPG, Dolby Digital Cons: Bugs, Fees, WebTV banners, Hot
The Dishplayer completely changed the way I watch TV! I hardly ever watch live television, and television ads have become a thing of the past. I just set my Dishplayer up to record the shows I like on a weekly or daily basis. Then, I search the...
Pros: Digital Recording, games, and more Cons: May start downloading at 4AM
I have the Dishplayer 7100 unit. The newer 7200 unit is the same except you have longer recording time. This is a great system for the combination of satellite tv viewing and digital recording like Tivo without any additional equipment needed. Some...
Pros: neat features like Personal TV Cons: misleading advertising-not what we bargained for
Just today my husband and I had our new Dish network installed. It is the Echostar 7100, the latest promotion. We were excited about the service because we have had Direct TV until now, and we were not very happy with them. So, this new model comes...
Pros: dont care about past, loyal customers Cons: good for new subscribers
I have been a Dish Network customer for over 2 years now and have been happy with their service. Yes, at times, their hold time on the phone is excessive, but I have been able to resolve any problems I have had.
Pros: High quality recording and time shifting, Digital output, WebTV Cons: Buggy software, expensive PTV, dish pointing
I had been reading about these hard drive recording systems for a while (Tivo, ReplayTV), but was put off by the high prices. When Dish Network added the PTV (advanced recording options beyond the basic pause that the original Dishplayer had), it became...
Pros: Integrated unit, great video quality, inexpensive. Cons: Slow tuning, download mode.
I had a Replay on loan for a while and it completely changed my viewing habits. I found that I couldn't really watch live TV anymore. When I had to give it back I started going into withdrawals.
Pros: Excellent Interface/Features/DOOM! :O) Cons: A little slow on channel change
We'll, I was surfing the net one day and came across the Dishplayer 500. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the price! The system was around 150 bucks, but Dish Network was offering a 200 dollar rebate! So I cancelled my DirecTV account and ordered...
Pros: Personal TV, Web TV, Good Price Cons: Small Hard Drive, Not the best remote control.
You can't beat this system for the price. I bought the DishPlayer from www.satellitedirect.com for only $49 last year. (The price has gone up a bit, but is still a great deal). Other Personal TV systems cost hundreds of dollars, a Web TV unit alone...
Pros: Choice of lots of Packages Cons: No local stations
I bought the this Dish system because a friend recommended. Before I had a dish, I have three fuzzy channels. So anything would have been an improvement. I really do like the Dish Player. It is easy to use and for me that is good be electronically...
Pros: Tons of Channels Cons: DISHPlayer couldn't handle Upgrade
I bought my DISHPlayer last summer, Loved it ! Lots of programing & great picture ! Very few problems, mostly just my learning how to use it. The tech help was great, freindly eager to help ! Then in march 2000, I decided to get the upgrade to the...
This opinion is about the dishplayer, programming, and customer service.
THE DISH ITSELF: We have had 2 only because we moved and they send you a new one. The dish is a standard size and doesn't take up much space. The first one was...
