1. Good product

   The unit worked well out of the box, however, local programming took forever due to an issue with the phone personnel. Seemed as though they were having trouble getting the signal to the unit. We waited approximately 2 hrs. to be able to see local channels even though we paid for the local channel package.

2. Fast and Simple to connect

   I recieved my Wally and connected it that evening. Once connected to to my RV satellite dish I turned the power on and it did all the rest except for me having to call Dish to start my service. Within 30 minutes I was up and running with HD! I am once again a Happy Camper!

3. Works GREAT

   I have it in my tour bus and it has yet to let me down. Easy to hook up and activate. The remote buttons are very sensitive to the touch and can be used from a pretty good distance. Dish support is great if you need any assistance!!

4. Good...but.

   I have been with DirectTV for years and still have their system in my home. I purchased DISH receivers for my RV because Direct HD is not available on my Winegard G2. My major complaint is that the on screen instructions for the setup are confusing and simply do not tell you what is going on as the system searches for signal. I would get confirmation of a signal and then it would hang up attempting to download the program guide with a message that this download should take no more than 10 minutes and if it takes longer unplug the receiver and wait another 5 minutes. Actually I unplugged about 6 times before I decided to leave it alone for about an hour and it downloaded. After testing it a couple of times after the successful install, I am sure that it will take much longer than DirectTV to connect when I move from one place to the next. Otherwise the receiver appears to work well once you connect. The other thing I missed because I did not read the fine print in the agreement is that you have to pay a monthly fee of $7 for receiver maintenance for the second receiver even though you purchased the receiver. That's not a big deal, but it was not discussed by the agent when I ordered the device via phone and was a question when I got the invoice.

5. Could be better

   Ok, I'm coming from the world of cable and high speed internet. I'm surprised that the Wally doesn't have the capability to allow you to view a recorded show while recording a new show. I had TiVo which is miles ahead in capability.

   This a great receiver and easy to install. Compared to Direct TV receivers this is great in that it only require to be connected and activated.

7. So Easy

   I am new to RVing and live alone. I decided to attempt to install this myself without any help. Because I bought a used RV already installed with a Winegard Satellite, my first step was to change settings to dish. I nervously crawled on roof to adjust settings. Wasn't sure I did it right. I then ordered the wally. It arrived on time and was one of the easiest tv installations I have ever done. Read instructions, but it is also on TV as it begins to set up. LOVE DISH, LOVE THE WALLY!! Best Buy ever

8. Excellent Reciever

   Bought 1 of these units to try on my motor home. Activation was a little long with downloads. But after you get thru that and called Dish to add it to my home account picture quality was very good. Ended up buying two more to add to the RV. Very small unit with a big punch!!
