Trying to find that all-around perfect set-top box that will provide you with endless hours of high-definition programming?  Well, look no further than Dish Network’s ViP722 HD DVR. The ViP722 records 55 hours of HD programming and 350 hours of standard definition programming from either broadcast or Dish Network’s satellite channels. This model allows you to record, pause, and replay “live” television at the touch of button on its universal remote. Currently, this is the only dual HD tuner satellite set-top box to offer 1080p programming via video-on-demand with its new Turbo HD package of 150 HD channels (by year’s end). In its dual mode, it allows independent viewing and recording of programs on two televisions.

Price: $499 (or $50 with a 24-month commitment to the Digital Home Advantage package)
