Thanks for the replies! So the general consensus is that I should just accept that these guys fail? Should I go for a different receiver than the 625, or does it not matter? I did look at the website to see what else was available and how much it would cost, but the website didn't tell me what...

The good folks in this forum answered many of my questions when my 625 DVR failed late late year, after only having it since April. I got another one and it's about five minutes from failing. It's doing the freezing thing the other DVR did, and it's stuttering as well. One day, it will just...

Hey guys, The receiver came today, and luckily I was home. So it got here in three days. And I finally figured out Single User mode, too, so that's a bonus. Had to call tech support a few times about issues, and they solved every one of them. In regards to a healthy receiver, I don't have it...

Hey y'all, I did call back and talk to a different guy. I asked if he could send a tech out. He wouldn't reply to THAT, but he did say the receiver should actually be here in three to five days. So we'll see. Five days, and I'm going to complain. I also HATE UPS; I'm not home during the day...

I've been a Dish subscriber since March. Today, my 625 hard drive apparently crashed. While I was able to talk to a customer service tech pretty quickly, I'm seriously unhappy with the resolution -- no way to recover data (of course, but no harm in asking) and I won't get a new receiver for...

I hope not, but just in case! I come from TiVo and I've got the 625. I only have one TV, and the dual tuners are confusing me because all the answers seem to be geared towards those who have two TVs. Anyway, I have a few questions that I have yet to find the answers to. 1 - the "skip back"...

OK. I do only have one TV, though; can I do that with only one TV? I'm still not sure if I'll dump TiVo or not. Tony makes a good case for it, especially regarding the video compression. But I still have my series 1 TiVo and it's gonna be a hard habit to break. I don't mind if the interface...

I understand the TiVo thing now, thanks! I just have a few more questions, if you don't mind. I can handle another interface but a few things I rely on most with Tivo are season passes, being able to pad/clip recordings, recording by keywords, actors, directors, that sort of thing, and burning...

Thanks for the welcome, and the quick reply! What about the Dish 322 standard receiver? It claims to have two tuners. It's not a DVR, but from the looks of it, it's got two RCA hookups on the back. I just want to make sure that I can use my TiVos with this and I trust you forum people more than...

This is my first post. I currently have analog cable. I've split the cable and have two TiVos going into my TV. I want to switch to Dish but I can't figure out if I can still do this. I know; get the Dish DVR! I will eventually, but I still love my Tivos. Does anyone know if there's any way to...
