Dish Network offers a variety of Digital Video Recorders (DVRs). Below is a quick look at what Dish Network has to offer for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs).

Dish Network offers two different DVRs, one with high definition capabilities. Both of these DVRs also double as the satellite receiver for the satellite dish attached to your house. Both include an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) that allows you to set recordings 9 days in advance.

The Dish Network ViP622 DVR acts as a high definition receiver that allows you to record high definition programming. This DVR from Dish Network is 250GB.
The DVR 625 is the standard definition DVR available from Dish Network.

These DVRs are similar to TiVo or ReplayTV DVRs. They allow users to list the title of a movie, show, or an actor's name, and the DVR finds and records the programs for you.

Pause live TV and resume where you left off. Skip through commercials on recorded programs. On-screen menus allow users to navigate through the 9 day EPG to allow you to select and record standard and high definition programming (with the high def DVR).

If you're thinking about switching to satellite from cable or an over-the-air antenna system, Dish Network offers two nice DVRs for all levels of consumer use.
