The Dish Network Receivers Guide

September 8, 2008

A receiver used to be a big black box that sat on top of your TV and changed channels. Now its as slim as a designer briefcase, and it can pause and replay live TV, record your favorite programs, show you whats on TV, and even transmit an HD picture so realistic youd think you were watching your programs in person.

Heres the lowdown on the four types of DISH Network receivers:

Standard Receiver

This is DISH Networks entry-level receiver. In addition to changing channels it also features an on-screen guide so you can see whats on satellite TV, and parental controls that let you limit the programs your can children watch. It also has on-screen caller ID so you can see whos calling you when your watching TV.

DVR Receiver
With a DVR receiver you can pause a live TV show, get up to answer the phone or get a snack, then sit back down and resume watching your show when youre ready. Hows that for convenient.

This receiver also allows you to record and store up to 100 hours of your favorite programs. You can even record two TV programs at the same time, record a program while watching another program, and record two programs while watching a previously recorded program.

HD Receiver

HD receivers transmit a high definition signal to your TV so you can watch your shows in crystal-clear high def format. If youve never seen a show in HD youll be amazed at how much clearer the picture is.

DISH Networks HD receiver has all the features of their standard receiver plus Dolby Surround Sound for three-dimensional sound, and PIP (picture-in-picture) so you can watch two programs at once.

HD DVR Receiver

This receiver gives you the best of both worlds - the ability to record your shows and watch them in high def. It has all the features of the HD and the DVR receivers, plus you can record up to 350 hours of SD (standard definition) programming and 55 hours of HD programming. This is the ultimate receiver for satellite TV buffs who want all the bells and whistles.

All of DISH Networks receivers are free when you order one of their program packages, and come with a universal remote control so you can operate your DVD player and VCR in addition to your TV.
