I bought this as a replacement for the DTV 301 I had before. I owned it for several years with the only problem being the remote. It quit working after a few years so I bought a generic remote. The DTV receiver worked fine for years and I think a lightning storm wrecked it. I am happy with the replacement I bought on ebay and after the initial install and calls to Dish Network to get it activated and a new card, I have had no problems. I don't think this receiver has all the features of the newer versions but I wouldn't use them anyway.
No have more extra, but is easy to use and economic. work great, all family menber use because is easy and simple to use.I really love than other receiver.
I needed another receiver so that i could add a TV on my patio which is covered by a roof,now i can sit outside and watch my sports while my wife watches her shows inside.You just have to call dish and while they are on phone and you are with the receiver and TV they upgrade receiver at no cost,as they need you to turn receiver off and on, they guide you through the upgrade,"what ever you do,do not throw card away that comes with receiver as they need this for the upgrade".
I loved the fact that I wouldn't have to pay a rental fee anymore, till I found out I wasn't paying a rental fee. Apparently the Dish Network company charges a connection fee not a rental fee, so instead of saving money it cost me money, now I'm going to try and resell this item to break even on my cost. The bottom line is buyer beware sometimes it sounds better in your head then it actually is, I learned my lesson, I hope this helps some of you to make a better decision than I did.
This was bought to replace one that was destroyed by a storm. Works great.
