Welcome to the DTVUSA Forum. Dish Network DTVPal Plus has by far the best EPG.

Here's a thread that references the EPG on the DTVPal Plus here: Is this what TVGOS looks like on a converter box?

oh, we're good here. we live for DTV.

It's a little early to make any conclusions about quality control on the converter boxes. Based on this forum and problems that people have had with other CECB's, I'd definitely avoid the Magnavox TB-100MG9 Converter Box - DTV USA Forum, the zinwell received one bad review here too Zinwell ZAT-970 Converter Box - DTV USA Forum

I currently don't know of any 'bugs' with the Dish DTVPal+

Other than the LOLing at the 'Dish Network' branding and the recycled satellite receiver OS screens used in the Satellite receivers:

"the Program Guide Information is currently being downloaded to your receiver, please wait or press 'STOP' to cancel"

--Which results in nothing to tune to. lol

"ERROR 500 (or 501, 502, etc): The signal has been temporarily lost. satellite acquisition is in progress"

--Um, it's not a satellite box lol, although more recently it's been changed to 'signal' instead of 'satellite' so it either updated itself or something.

The bugs you are hearing about are for the DTVPal DVR, not the DTVPal Plus. The bugs in the Dish Network DTVPal DVR have also been fixed with the latest firmware update. If you ever start thinking of ways to record the programming I would highly recommend the DVR. It would be a great addition to anyones HTR.

Did you call your local Sears store? They are currently out of stock online, but are getting shipments into the local stores quite frequently.
