Hello -
I have been browsing some of these threads and have a question...I recently purchased a Tivo. I then went to switch to the Dish Network and received the promotion with the free 625 DVR with 6 dollar monthly service fee, which is about 1/3 of the price of my Tivo. I have just a couple of days before I can return my Tivo with no penalty, but I haven't yet received installation of the DVR from Dish. From reading some of the notes in the forum, I am now hesitant to return the Tivo.
In very high level terms, can someone help me understand the difference between the Tivo and the Dish DVR? Is the Tivo much better? Are there many problems with the Dish DVR? Does it have "Season's Pass" capability? And lastly, I have read some about the various lawsuits but have to admit I don't understand exactly what the situation is. Is the Dish DVR in danger of being shut down, in which case I would just keep my new Tivo? Does anyone want to comment on their general satisfaction with Dish vs. regular cable TV?
I know that's a lot of questions - I'd appreciate any input you might have so I can decide this soon.
Thank you!
