The Dish Network Receivers Guide
A receiver used to be a big black box that sat on top of your TV and changed channels. Now it's as slim as a designer briefcase, and it can pause and replay live TV, record your favorite programs, show you what's on TV, and even transmit an HD picture so realistic you'd think you were watching your programs in person.
Here's the lowdown on the four types of DISH Network receivers:
Standard Receiver
This is DISH Network's entry-level receiver. In addition to changing channels it also features an on-screen guide so you can see what's 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 who's 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 you're ready. How's 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 you've never seen a show in HD you'll be amazed at how much clearer the picture is.
DISH Network's 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 Network's 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.

Frequently Asked Questions...
can coaxial cable be used to connect satellite dish to HD receiver?
I am upgrading from standard def Dish service to a HD receiver and want to know if all the cable needs to be replaced, or if the existing coaxial cable is OK.
Answer:
It depends on which cables you are referring to. If you mean the cables between the dish antenna and the receiver, no that will be fine.
If you are referring to the cables between the receiver and the HDTV, you have some choices. An HDMI cable would probably be the best choice. You don't need the really expensive cables, either. The ones that come with the satellite receiver are good enough.
I hope this helps. Please return and select a Best Answer from all of those submitted.
