Hi. I've had DISH (322/522) for about 6 months and love my dvr; however, I'm not sold on DISH (ridiculous customer service-- a different response to the same issue with each phone inquiry, bait 'n' switch pricing on my initial purchase, being told dvr failure with PPV is my loss, since DISH forbids dvr use with PPV because of copyright issues-- ever hear of time-shifting?). In any event, I see the 625 and 522 are for legitimate sale, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience using non-DISH dvrs, from Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic. I realize a person loses much of the optimum Tivo-like functionality by going this route, but one does gain "control" of his own equipment and can use it if he switches to another programming provider.
So, anyone with experience using non-Dish dvrs or comments on the attributes and debits in doing so?
Thanks for helping a newbie!
