There's no pattern to it, which makes it frustrating. There's no obvious way to avoid tit.

I'm glad I bought mine, works great in the home theater and no issues during the 5 hours it was on for the Super Bowl.]]>Feb 26th 2009 7:23PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/
I'm pretty happy with it, having been without any kind of DVR/VCR/recorder of any kind since giving up my cable service. ]]>Feb 26th 2009 7:33PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/Feb 26th 2009 8:03PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/

However, for that investment, you get a rock solid, reliable and dependable DVR service with more features than you can shake a stick at. I really can say that the reliability inherent in a TiVo box more than makes it worth the immediate hit in the pocket book. Even if you're only using it to record OTA, you can schedule those recordings over the internet if you're away from your home, then transfer them to your computer for upload to your portable electronic device for viewing on the go. Finally, its dead simple to use. My mother who can't set the time on her microwave gets it, as well as the wife, so WAF is high. Can you imagine getting a phone call from your family member everytime the DVR needs to be rebooted every week? Most won't have the patience for this, while TiVo is the DVR that does not quit. And if it does, there service easily bests Echostar.

I'm happy for those that have had no problems with the DTVPal DVR, because I would get it myself for the bedroom if they worked out the kinks. Its amazing the spectrum of quality people are witnessing, from DOA to very reliable. Really, its going to take more legitimate competition like the DTVPal if consumers ever hope TiVo to lower their price. Until then, TiVo will remain the best independent DVR, and they'll charge accordingly. My only complaint about TiVo is lack of support for satellite, but that's more the fault of the provider not allowing TiVo to compete against the proprietary DVR. If Echostar allowed the DTVPal to integrate with Dish service instead of paying the monthly fee for their DVR, that would be pimp!]]>Feb 27th 2009 2:32AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/Feb 27th 2009 2:18AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/Feb 27th 2009 1:34PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/Feb 28th 2009 1:26AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/Feb 28th 2009 3:32AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/Mar 2nd 2009 10:46PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/May 5th 2009 11:50AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/May 9th 2009 11:53PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/02/26/is-your-dish-network-dtvpal-dvr-having-issues/http://www.ipodconverter.com Great post.]]>May 12th 2009 4:35AM
