Pros: Reasonable price
Cons: Poor performance and very few options when difficulties arise
Summary: I have two 3000 models. Both have gone bad in less than 2 1/2 years. Luckily one was covered under a "special warranty" because of a "hardware problem" that was discovered by Dish but not told to the customers unless the problem was reported. Now, the ... read more

Pros: More channels, lower cost than cable
Cons: Has trouble in bad weather
