DISH Player-DVRs combine the power of Digital Video Recording (DVR) technology with feature-rich satellite receivers to allow you to watch TV the way you want and when you want. DISH Player-DVR receivers feature DISH Network DVR Service*, an advanced digital television recording and playback technology that lets you control how you watch television. DISH Network DVR Service allows you to control the way you watch TV with these revolutionary features:

• Name Based Recording: list the title of a movie, show, or an actor's name - and the ultra-smart DISH DVR finds and records. This feature is only available on the DISH Player-DVR 522, 625 and 942 Receivers.
• Pause live TV when the phone rings
• Skip through commercials on recorded programs
• Seamlessly record up to 100** hours of programming, from sitcoms to feature-length films and even live sporting events
• On-screen DVR command menus are seamlessly integrated with DISH Network's 9-day electronic program guide to make selecting and recording standard and high definition programming quick and easy.

Need to Answer the Phone? Simply pause your program - even live sporting events. While you talk on the phone, DVR records. When you hang up, you can either play what you missed or jump back to "Live" TV

If you miss a good line or an amazing play, just press the skip back button on your remote and go back 10 seconds to make your own instant replay!

The 'Reverse' and 'Fast Forward' buttons let you go back or forward 3, 15, 60...up to 300 times original speed. So you can see that buzzer-beating basket again or quickly move forward to find out "who done it"

Skip through the boring stuff with the touch of the 'Skip Forward' button. It instantly forwards in convenient 30-second increments, which just happens to be the length of most of those pesky commercials.
