Obviously someone that has not used a Dish DVR. Try using one or reading a review, they are very good units. Many have said they are the best out there. |

Dish is the company that sucks. Tivo invented DV recording for the masses and they should be revered for bringing something fresh to the consumer market.
Actually, I believe ReplayTV beat them to the market by about a month. Even still, I remember people using the very early ATI All In Wonder cards to record and "trick play" TV long before either Tivo or Replay.

TIVO did not come up with the idea to record tv with a computer.
Computer users of the 80s and 90s did.
Also we were recording TV way before TIVO ripped off everyone elses ideas using VCRs and other devices. Whoever gave them a patent is an asshole.

TiVo may have come up with a good idea once, but now their massive patent library is preventing anyone else from innovating in the field, since there's a good chance they'll inadvertently step on TiVo's toes in doing anything. |

Dish equipment is hard t install, difficult to use and way beyond the simple idea of watching TV. It took my installer all of about 40 minutes to mount two antennas, trench cable, connect my DVR, and activate my box. Hardly difficult or beyond the simple idea of watching TV.said by iohuandiometoanu :
Dish is dying and I will be the first to dance on their grave when they do (die). And that's about as ignorant comment as you can make. I definitely would not envy paying your DirecTV bill should Dish falter. |

I'm glad that tivo and DTV are talking again and making boxes. I still own two samsung 80-hour DTV/Tivos and they're teriffic!
