ELCOME
Thank you 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-delivered services—with high
performance, ease of operation, and a wide variety of entertainment options.
Your new DISH receiver has two built-in satellite TV tuners supporting viewing in standard or high
definition. In addition, an over-the-air (OTA) tuner is also available. After attaching an antenna to
the OTA tuner input on your receiver back panel (see details on page 98 and any installation
instructions that came with your OTA antenna), you can watch programs on digital channels
received over the air, selecting them from the Program Guide much the same way you do with
satellite-delivered TV channels. Additionally, a host of other functions make your DISH receiver
one of the most versatile and exciting devices in home entertainment.
This satellite receiver lets you decide how you watch TV. You can experience audio and video with
full digital quality. You can create reminders for your favorite programs and not miss any of the
action, or you can record a program on your VCR to watch later.
