Dish Tv And Dvr By Rae777 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Dish Tv and DVR After getting fed up with my current cable company I decide to switch to Dish TV. I my old cable service had been grainy and went out from time to time especially when it was stormy. Dish TV picture has a very good picture and their selection of channels is good. The downside: We have three TVs hooked up to this dish TV and every so often one of them will lose signal. The other two televisions are fine. Thankfully this doesn't happen too often. Their DVR service is not very good in my opinion. If you set it to record on one television it might record on the other which is an inconvenience. Sometimes it finishes recording too soon. If you try to get it to record something else on one television while something is recording on the first TV its might not record either show. Their packages can be very pricey in my opinion. They also try to get you to sign a contract by telling you it will save you money. It does save you money but it locks you in for a year. Over all I will stick with it for a little while until I get a better deal elsewhere then I will change.
Had this service for a few years now. It's a good service, I wish the price would come down. I am thinking about changing just for a reduction in price.

Wow girlfriend-it would be quite frustrating to record a show on one tv & it ends up recording on another tv! If you stick with them for a little bit, I would tell them that you're going to another company with lower rates & maybe DishTV will lower your price too!!!
Thanks for sharing. I think we will continue to shop around!
Hm, sounds like there are better options out there. Thanks for sharing your experience with this!
The DVR not working right would be a huge annoyance for me but the huge number of chanels available would be a plus.
I had dish network a while ago and it was ok. We now have dish network and have found the service to be better and the outages less frequent.
Uhhhh. Why oh WHY can't someone offer a GOOD service for a reasonable price?
I always hated the contacts with Dish TV. A friend here has it, but we live in a valley and her reception is horrible. She is changing over to cable as soon as her contract is over. Thanks for sharing the information.
These always sound so frustrating. I don't hear very many people who are happy with a dish but some people don't have other options.
The dish worked fine in my area... until it snowed. Who wants to climb on the roof in the middle of winter to brush off the dish?
