Welcome

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 Digital Video Recorder (DVR) receiver has two built-in satellite TV tuners
for record and playback in standard or high definition. In addition, an optional over-the-air
tuner module is also available. After installing this optional module (see Modulator Setup
on page 98), you can watch and record programs on channels received over the air,
selecting them from the Program Guide much the same way you do with satellite
channels. Additionally, the DVR features and a host of other functions make your new
receiver one of the most versatile and exciting devices in home entertainment.
This satellite receiver lets you decide how you watch TV. You can record and play back
audio and video with full digital quality. You can pause a live program and not miss any of
the action, or you can record a program to watch later without a VCR.
