The refurbished unit works great and the HD works great on my UHD 4K TV. One thing you need to have is an HD dish. Setting up the receiver was easy, rather than call use Dish's online chat. Aiming the dish took a little time but an online search provided some useful tips.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Refurbished
Hard to setup but operation is easy. High quality picture. Instructions are not complete or descriptive enough, especially on setup. Both remotes operate well. Recording feature is very good and easy to use. Great capabilities which I have not yet fully explored.

I bought this receiver so I could record events and programs to view at a later time. The advantage to this Dishnet it has the ability to have two programs showing in different roomsI like the features of the Dish network 722 and you can also record a third program all at the same time. I do not know how it compairs to other units, I purchased this one because I have a dish network system.
