Pocket Dish

Who remembers this pre kangaroo piece of fine technology....

While it had its bugs, it was a great device for its time.

DISH was always ahead of its time bringing out devices like this. And now you don't need one you can watch on your phone or iPad.

Tech was moving fast in those days....The mini van had a VHS with surround sound.....was almost out dated by the time people heard of it......

I still have my pocket Dish. At the time it was very useful. Dish allowed export of their content long before others. Now my pocket Dish is gathering dust since my IPad and Iphone have replaced it. Dish seems to always be a leader when it comes to technology.

Yup. I had a 625 at the time which IIRC was one of the DVRs which could export to a Pocket Dish. I bought what I took to be a better model, an Archos 404CC, but alas my receiver wouldn't talk to it. I could record and play back VGA-quality movies with it, though, via the docking station. It had a dinky 30GB disk.

I got more returns on pocket dishes than any other item I sold.

Great concept, but the transfer process was too clunky and was ahead of its time.

I have the 500E Pocket Dish with the 4.3" screen. I still use it everyday mostly for music.
