I love using my Dish Network-DVR -625 DTV Receiver. I've  had my Dish Network-DVR-625 DTV Receiver for three years now, and love using it. It is so great to be able to pause live tv. I also like recording my favorite shows and movies. You can set the timer weeks in advance to record a show or special event you want to watch. My grandchildren love recording their favorite shows also. I'm thinking about upgrading to the Dish Network HD DVR. My mother and sister have the Dish Network HD DVR. It enhances their HD channels. They love using their Dish Network HD DVR. They have had theirs since the summer....
