ELCOME
Thanks for choosing DISH®. You are about to experience the excitement and
convenience of our Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) service, which delivers the very best
picture and sound quality. DISH consistently provides the latest products and satellite
services—with high performance, ease of operation, and a wide variety of entertainment
options.
Your new Hopper™ with Sling® is a Whole-Home HD DVR that offers full digital video
recording functionality, including pausing live TV, to every TV in your house that is a part of
your Whole-Home DVR system. The Hopper with Sling HD DVR is the hub for all things
entertainment. It's a three-tuner HD DVR that lets you record up to three HD channels at
once at any time and play them back in any room in your home. Plus, using the PrimeTime
Anytime™ feature, you can record up to six HD channels at once (with your local ABC,
CBS, FOX AND NBC channels provided in HD, which may not be available in all markets).
It is one HD DVR that works independently on as many as four different TVs at the same
time, so everyone can be in different rooms watching their favorite TV programming.
Joey™ Receivers connect to other TVs in your home and link to the Hopper with Sling
system, creating a Whole-Home DVR network. It offers all of the features of the Hopper
with Sling HD DVR (with the exception of Picture-In-Picture) and offers an identical user
interface and remote control as the Hopper with Sling. You can connect a Joey Receiver to
a high-definition or standard-definition TV.
