Product information

Ultra thin with ultra performance - the Echostar 610R is the world’s slimmest digital TV recorder. Discreet enough to fit into any home entertainment centre, it’s been designed for ease of use and loaded with twin tuners so you don’t miss a second of your favourite TV programmes.

Please note: TV not included.

Highlights:

  • At less that 1.5cm thick the 610R’s trim metallic profile will look terrific just about anywhere. That’s if it’s spotted in the first place.
  • Dual Freeview HD tuners mean high quality free-to-view HD channels without a subscription. And because there are two tuners - you can also watch and record one channel while recording another.
  • The 500GB hard drive lets you record up to 300 hours of TV at the touch of a button, as well as rewind live TV so you never miss a second of your favourite programmes.
  • HDMI cable included.

Echostar HDT-610R Ultra Slim 500GB Freeview+ HD Digital TV Recorder 3.7 5 6 6
Great unit - very easy to use Have had this unit since Christmas. no problems at all. Looks perfect, not obtrusive and more importantly is very easy to operate and manage the recordings 21 April 2013
Noisy It's a great little unit but there is a constant noise from the disk buffering the channel you are watching for the instant rewind facility. I've only had it for a couple of days and there is no way of turning this feature off so it might end up being returned if it becomes too irritating 06 March 2013
So far, so good. At first I was a bit concerned due to reviews by others. I had a scare after 24 hours use as I only had a blank yellow screen but after disconnecting power it corrected and worked properly. I was able to update software via pen stick and now everything seems to work OK. The remote found my Sony TV and I have just what I expected. Oh! The pictures are very sharp too. 04 February 2013
Failed after 4 days. Not impressed... looks the part alright, but the hard drive failed after 4 days' use this Christmas. Bought it to record all the fab movies that were on... all now lost before having chance to watch them. Followed the instructions, ran the disk checks, reset the hard drive... kaput. Will have to return to John Lewis. Liked the product, but it's only as good as its hard drive. Will likely replace with a product that's more tried and tested. Not recommended. (Though I suppose we're lucky we only lost a few day's recordings!) 01 January 2013
Superb This PVR is unbelievably thin, great looking piece of kit. Nice features such as series record , the option to record in HD or SD and if you try to record a 3rd recording at the same time it will offer a different time if possible, EPG easy to use, overall the best PVR I have purchased to date. 24 December 2012
Looks the part This set top box looks great with some excellent features. Remote controller also very thin as it uses button style batteries rather than AA/AAA, easy to use, with superb EPG automatically giving the option to record a whole series. Puts recordings into folders which cuts down on a long recorded list. The only thing stopping a 5* rating is that there is a slight noise of the hard drive whirring on record and a few rough edges on the corners of the remote controller. Good servive from John Lewis as normal. 14 July 2012
