I'm going to Dish in the next few weeks. I talked to my neighbor today and she said they love it and haven't had any issues. That's good enough for me. I'll keep em for two years and then see what happens then. It's a good time to get the newer technology at a lower price.
Just a warning. If you have any issues with a DVR, they UPS a new one to you... 3 to 5 business days. They do not send anyone to replace/repair. So you are out of business for 3 to 5 business days at a minimum. If you do have a problem, tell them you want it FedEx overnight! This will get you the equipment next day, even on a Saturday. Don't let them send UPS... they do not deliver on Saturdays.
