The DISH Player DVR model 942 is a high definition satellite receiver capable of recording up to 25 hours of high definition or 180 hours of programming on a 250GB hard-drive.  However, what really makes model 942 exceptional is the fact that it allows you multi-room capability via one satellite receiver.  It also includes DISH's Video-On-Demand Service that provides the capability to “pause” live TV, record any type of DISH Network programming, skip recorded commercials, and create “instant replays.”  Besides being able to “pause” live TV, the Video-On-Demand service allows you to fast forward/fast reverse at four speeds ( 4x, 15x, 60x, and 300x), skip forward (30-second increments), and skip back (10-second increments), and the capability to view shows in slow motion or frame-by-frame.
