Review on πŸ“Ί High Definition Dual Tuner HD DVR: Factory Re-manufactured VIP 722K by Dish Network by Adam Huper

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The 722k DVR works very well (although there may be issues with the OTA tuner option)

I bought a 722k DVR receiver from DISH last fall. Since then it has been working almost perfectly. The DVR itself seems to work well, the only complaint I have about it is the OTA tuner I bought for it (OTA tuner does NOT come with the Dish 722 model) from Revain, an inferior product by comparison to the OTA tuner that came with my Model 622 DVR. The OTA tuner takes longer to tune to local digital channels (it finds them all during tuning) and struggles to keep the channel locked as the signal comes and goes. When a local channel comes in, it shows a signal strength in the 80s and 90s depending on the channel. Not sure if this is related to the OTA tuner or the 722k dashcam. My Sony TV and 622 DVR have no problems with these local channels, only the 722k DVR with the OTA tuner option has problems. For me this is not a crucial factor as I have a 622 DVR which allows me to record/view the OTA channel all the time. Anyway, my review of the Dish 722k DVR is very positive, OTA tuner, please take it into account. A NOTICE. For Dish 722k DVR, the OTA tuner model, as far as I remember, is OTA2 Tuner for Dish DVR. I bought mine from Revain a while ago but I think they are still available.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Good but not great
