622... The Crap that is a DVR

by Brian Biddle on Nov 16th, 2008 at 10:59 PM:

We are on our 3rd 622. Same as everyone else... constant resetting. I've been told off the record that they know it's an issue and are in a state of "fact gathering" a also told that their equipment is fine and the problem is with my electric outlets (which is not the case at all). I'm going to be simpleton and try a 4th 622 and if this one is junk (which I expect it will be) then I'm moving on to Time Warner (and that's not looking too encouraging either.) In a nutshell, cable/ satellite TV is crap... they all take your money and screw you in the process...


Time to turn the TV off and read some books...

Poor Quality!

When it works, this receiver is pretty nice. Delivers a very solid picture. The problem is that 3 of them have died on us. Every time it's the same thing. It reboots and then "loses signal" for good. The guy who has been swapping them out admitted that these are all refurbs, so technically none are brand new. That makes sense given so many people have had problems with these things. I went with Dish Tv because they had a couple of channels I really wanted. What a mistake. They subsequently dropped those channels and I ended up with crappy quality equipment. WHAT A MISTAKE! My contract runs out in December and I can not wait to go to DirectTV.

Don't do it!

I have had 4 622 recievers over the last year. They have big problems. When one goes out all they do is send you another rebuilt one . It won't last either

I have had two receivers replaced in the past 10 months. You loose everything you had recorded when it goes out. All it will do is turn on and reset itself over and over gain. If I had it do do over I would go with Direct.

Terrible

We upgraded to HD and got the receiver, it only lasted 1 week, they send a replacement and the second received lasted 1 week again! We cancelled our account over this agravation of not being able to watch tv. The receivers were running hot, and we constantly got the " No Signal" thing. They wanted to send us a third receiver, but really in less than a month...they won't admit there is a problem with the box, that should have been fixed before they came out. We loved Dish Network and had been customers for over 7 years, they were the only ones that had a French Channel ( i'm french) and i gave it up because it was so bad!
