This dual satellite-tuner receiver can view standard-definition (SD) and high-definition
(HD) programming from DISH on two TVs, or (with an attached over-the-air antenna) view
over-the-air digital/HD broadcasts on the nearby HDTV.
• Nearby TV (TV1)—Connect to an HDTV to view SD and HD DISH programming and
(with an antenna) over-the-air digital/HD broadcasts. Programming from the receiver
is delivered to the nearby TV using standard audio/composite-video cables.

broadcasts. Programming from the receiver is usually delivered to the remote TV(s)

Two remote controls come with your receiver:
• Remote Control 1—An Infrared (IR) remote to control programming for the nearby TV
