Their customer services are one of the best in the industry. This is why DISH is considered one of the top provides of satellite TV in the country.

When you subscribe to DISH, you have to choose from the packages the network offers. Most of the standard satellite TV packages that they have are enough for family viewing. But aside from the channels, you can also get to choose the type of equipment that you want to install in your home.

The standard equipment included in all the packages is advanced enough to provide you with an excellent viewing experience. But still, there’s always room for customization and the network will entertain the whim of their clients to upgrade to more sophisticated equipment to bring an even more exceptional satellite TV in their homes.

One of the pieces of equipment in satellite TV programming is the satellite receiver. These are the often times black, rectangular shaped boxes which at first glance looks pretty much as a small VCR. DISH network offers single-tuner and dual-tuner standard receivers. The main difference between that two is that the latter can access two independent satellite TVs on two different TV sets.

DISH Network’s receivers are also equipped with digital video recorders (DVR) which can record shows direct from the satellite TV programming. Among the dual receivers of DISH include the Vip422, DVR 522, DVR 942, DVR 625 and DVR HDTV 622. All these receivers were created to provide independent viewing on two televisions from one box.
Meanwhile, the dual tuner DVR has an added feature: it allows the recording of one channel while at the same time recording a different channel. Plus, with a dual tuner DVR it is possible to record two shows at the same time. Also, dual DVRs supports Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound, nothing gets better than that.

Aside from these added features, a DISH Network’s dual receiver has all the basic functions of a satellite TV receiver. When you get a dual tuner, you also get the standard remote, you can have a favorite list and you can connect the tuner to a home theater system easy.

Remember, that not only can you do a recording of your favorite shows but you can also pause and replay live programming with these receivers giving you full control over your television viewing.

Among its other features include viewing and recording high definition or standard definition programming; viewing and recording standard definition or down-converted high definition programming; viewing off-air digital/HD local broadcasts; the tuner supports four TV resolutions namely 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i; on-screen caller ID with history; can record up to 200 hours of standard definition and more than 30 hours of high definition programming; access to DISH home Interactive TV which gives you breaking news, sports, weather, games and push of a button customer support; and a picture-in-picture (PIP) mode which is available on any TV set.
