The Welcome Pack is $19.99 plus DVR and taxes and of course a connection to a dish. Channel Master and Tivo make over the air recorders about $200-250 purchase price. If you search the OTA forum you can find many other sources for recorders.I own a Dish VIP622. Is there any way to still use it to record and playback OTA programs without a Dish account or without being hooked to the dish. I don't mind having to manually enter the timers.
Thanks.

Here's an OTA dvr for $32.75, which is the cheapest you'll ever buy a dvr:
Huh, this forum will NOT let me post a hyperlink to Amazon properly! It keeps switching to a "Media" tag, but then doesn't appear. Sorry about that. Go to Amazon, and search for iView 3500STBII
Wait, let's try this. You'll have to copy/paste this into a browser:Code:http://www.amazon.com/3500STBII-Multi-Function-Converter-Recording-Playback/dp/B00GOILYB6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1402686739&sr=1-1&keywords=iview+3500stbii
Standalone, and you'll never pay a fee to anybody once you buy it. Here's the avsforum thread discussing it: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/42-hdtv-recorders/1465875-iview-3500stb-tuner-dvr-owners-thread.html
Keep in mind that you have to add your own external hard drive.....
Keep trying, lol.
I don't see any links to Amazon in either one of you guys' post.
You won't see the amazon links if your are using an adblocker.
That's pretty dumb that this new forum SW formats links in such a way that it appears to be an ad to ABP. I've never seen that anywhere else.You won't see the amazon links if your are using an adblocker.
