Overview
A dish network household with two televisions gets a single box that records from both and streams live or recorded shows to either set. The internal hard drive holds a long backlog of standard and high definition programs before anything needs deleting. An SD card slot adds a way to view photos on the connected screen.
This DVR fits a family already on Dish Network who want to feed two rooms without a second receiver box. Recording capacity runs deep before anything needs to be cleared out, which suits a household that lets shows stack up. It is a remanufactured unit, so cosmetic wear or a shorter warranty than new stock is possible.
Who it's for
A two television household on Dish Network service gets recording for both rooms and a deep backlog of stored shows from one receiver. A single tv household or someone who insists on unused factory hardware would be better served by a simpler model.
Pros and cons
- Large hard drive holds many hours of recording
- Dual tuner records two channels simultaneously
- Feeds two separate televisions from one box
- On demand library adds shows without recording
- Remanufactured condition, not new stock
- SD card slot is dated media format today
- Warranty length on this unit not listed
Performance notes
Two independent tuners inside the box let it record one channel while playing back another, or record two channels for two different rooms at once. The internal hard drive stores standard and high definition recordings until manually deleted or the on demand library refreshes its own content. Video passes to the television over an HDMI connection for its final output stage.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Dish VIP722K to feed two televisions?
