EchoStar 2710 Digital Satellite System

Pros: Sharp clear reception and sound through digital signals; vast program guide
Cons: May not get a signal if raining/snowing hard; No Center Ice available with Dish Network

My husband has several "toys," but they all seem to revolve around his satellite system. We have changed and upgraded with the times over the years, even now dreaming to upgrade up from our enhanced performance big-screen TV and enhanced performance DVD,...

Pros: Excellent picture and sound, easy to use, lots of features, no copy protection
Cons: Remote

EchoStar 2710 appeared in my apartment after I got a flyer saying that I would get free equipment and installation if I subscribe to 1 year of Dish Network programming.

At that time I was paying around $30 for Adelphia’s basic +...

Pros: Perfect reception, many channels
Cons: Remote control is awkward

Get a free EchoStar receiver and a dish with free installation plus free 90 days HBO, Showtime, Starz, and Cinemax, if you agree to subscribe to Dish Network's Top 150-channel package for one year at $39.99 per month. The small catch is that either...

Pros: Top Quality Video and CD Quality Sound
Cons: Hard to Install

The Dish Network Model 2710 is a quality receiver that gives excellent results at a reasonable price. I actually paid only $9.00 for my Model 2710 receiver. My bid on UBid.Com was the winner. After paying shipping of only $14.95 I was in the realm of...

Pros: easy to use. friendly reps when you have to call them.
Cons: Always upgrading.

I got tired of turning on the tv every night only to find the same things I have watch 10 times already. That was with cable. Plus the price of cable was ridiculous for the little channel choices you had. I have 4 children and I needed something with...

Pros: Economically priced, excellent quality, user friendly..
Cons: Their like computers...They are always coming out with a better one!

We live in a rural area of West Virginia. To make things worse, we live in a valley where you have to pipe the sunshine in! Before buying the Echo Star 2710 system, we only recieved 2 stations! Channel 5 (WDTV) and Channel 12 (WBOY), both local...

Pros: Easy to install and use. Great picture and sound

Pros: Ease of use, programming selection, picture/sound quality
Cons: May loose signal during a bad storm...

I have had the Dish Network at home for over a year now, and I have been very pleased with my dual dish setup. The picture and sound quality cannot be rivaled by cable TV. Also, I love the feature to scroll through program listings, instead of sitting...

Pros: Ease of use, plentiful features
Cons: Pre-packaged channel options, no over-the-air (typical dish issue.)

One of the easiest to use dish systems on the market. Pay per view can be locked with a code, as can non-child friendly channels.

Dish setup a snap (did it myself in 10 minutes - just make sure you can see the bird!)

Pros: easy
Cons: Have to have a box for each TV if you want to watch differant programs.

This is a great box for the price.All the features are easy for anyone to use. For the price it is very affordable and meets most peoples needs for programs.The service is just great. It has great program selection. The top 40 program is a great value...

Pros: SIMPLICITY at IT'S BEST
Cons: YOU CAN'T SECOND GUESS MOTHER NATURE
