DISH Network HDTV Receiver
A DISH Network HDTV receiver allows you to view HD broadcasts, assuming of course you have an HD compatible TV set, giving you an almost lifelike picture. The HDTV receiver also broadcasts the audio portion of the program in Dolby Digital Surround Sound for a three-dimensional listening experience.
This receiver features HD and SD (standard definition) tuners so you can receive both HD and SD broadcasts, and an EPG (electronic program guide) so you can see what shows are on satellite TV.
DISH Network DVR Receiver
A digital video recorder is a hard drive unit that sits inside a DVR receiver. The DISH Network DVR receiver can digitally record up to 100 hours of satellite TV programming, plus it allows you to pause live TV so you can get a snack or answer the phone, then play the show you were watching when you're ready.
The DISH Network DVR receiver features a dual tuner so you can record two programs at the same time, record one program while watching another program, or record two programs while watching a pre-recorded program. It also features Picture-In-Picture so you can watch two shows at the same time.
DISH Network HDTV DVR Receiver
