For some reason my first review disappeared. This is factual information that can be verified with the manufacturer.I purchased a "new" 625 from a seller here on Amazon and they sent me a remanufactured unit instead. When I talked to Dish Network they told me that they have not made any new 625 receivers in over 2 years and that retailers know that they are ordering remanufactured units. Also, if a retailer still has new 625 receivers in their inventory they will not work as the internal smartcards are the previous generation and expired. The rep at Dish Network did not speak well of retailers selling this model as "new".There are no more "new" 625 receivers, so don't waste your time or money trying to get a new one as they will send you either a defective unit or a reman. If you want a working 625 you will need to purchase a reman.
