 DISH 612 HD/DVR Receiver Jan 26, 2009
By C. J. Moody
"Visionary"
We own a Samsung PN50A550 Plasma HDTV. When you drive a "cadillac" you don't go cheap with the peripherals; you get good quality. Anyway, we have the DISH Total HD package; nothing but HD bliss. I ordered the 612 to replace the HD receiver that we had that wasn't a DVR as well. We couldn't be more pleased. Great HD/DVR receiver at an Amazon price. My wife loves being able to pause live TV and come back to it after breaks. She also loves to be able to instantly rewind show dialog that she didn't get the first time to hear it again. The DVR HD recording is flawless; no HD quality loss whatsoever. Highly recommend however please note the 612 is only good for one TV. DISH does have other HD receivers that will work for more than one TV in the house.
Should add that you can also rent on a monthly basis this receiver from DISH but at the low Amazon price that I was able to score this at I should have it paid for in a short time. The flip side is that if you rent and anything happens to it DISH will just exchange it. I'd rather own it and pocket the savings; why give it to someone else.

 DVR or Furnace? Jul 08, 2010
By Armin Karcher
"Tools&Linux"
This thing puts out more heat than you can imagine. And it has a fan constantly running to keep it "cool". Forget having a quiet living room. This thing is far out the worst piece of AV equipment I have ever owned. Did I mention when you turn it "off" all it does is turn the front panel LEDs off. The fan is still going, the power is still being used, the heat is still there.

5-star so far Jan 17, 2011
By Amazoniscool
I have only had this receiver for two days from a new DISH install, but I feel I must post a review here since I was apalled at the low ratings others left. I actually was looking for a diagram/picture of the rear panel layout before the system was installed to get an idea of what I would be getting when the system did arrive and saw it here. When I saw the low ratings and read them, I immediately felt that "buyer's remorse" feeling thinking I would be getting a horrible piece of equipment. When the installer showed up, I immediately asked him about reliability/performance of the unit, and he thought it was one that had the least complaints and one that had some of the better features to date. To the contrary of what most have stated here so far, I found the unit to work quite well. Maybe that will change with time, but so far I haven't noticed any of the deficiencies others have mentioned. The unit responds quickly, doesn't lose any frames that I can tell, hasn't locked up, nor has it rebooted at all. Another reviewer said the unit would shut off after 4 hours but it is supposed to do that under the default settings and that can be adjusted or turned off. As far as power usage, I don't think this unit is any worse than others that are out there. It would be nice to have it completely power down when it's off, but it does still need to be active to get updates such as the guide and record programs that are pending. I'm sure there is some room here for improvement with power management, but I wouldn't consider it a show stopper (pardon the pun) when compared the rest out there. I found the noise level to be hardly noticable from even a foot away from the unit, and I can't hear anything from it in the room even when everything is off and certainly not when the TV is on. I guess some people are just unlucky or overly picky about stuff (or from the competition?) Hope this review helps others dismiss some of the bad impressions I got when I read these reviews. Again, so far I find it to be decent product.

do not get,,,it has HDMI hand shake issues May 06, 2010
By B. Atighechi
I have been through 5 612s, and they all have handshake issues with my Pioneer elite sc-07 and my Yamaha YSP-3000. and when you call dish network, they have no idea what I am talking about. I also have a 622 receiver, that I have been happy with.....

Problems New Out of Package, but I seem to be the exception Nov 01, 2010
By All American Mall
From day one I have had problems with the 612. It was installed by Dish Net guy from new & sealed package. He never dropped it or anything abusive to the unit. The receiver part works great but the DVR has many issues. It skips and stutters sometimes when playing then if you replay section it is ok. It skips and stutters the recording and no matter how many times you try it will play bad for that section. These messed up spots are about 2-5 per movie and about 2-7 seconds in length. May not seem like much but try skipping 5 seconds during a action scene or critical dialogue. Also it will start spinning hard drive when turned off and sounds like stuck. From my PC experience I know this sound very well to be a bad HD. No it is not the cooling fan nor is it the daily 3a.m. update. No matter what I try I cannot get the HD to shut down during those 'episodes' and about 50% of the time I am unable to even turn unit on, ending up with unplugging to reset. I have one month left on 3 month free service so will be getting rid of it. It has steadily gotten worse over 2 months. From my discussions with others and searches it would seem I am the exception and most people have no issues. What troubles me is that this is brand new straight out of the box performance.
