Introduction

About this Receiver

Your DISH Network satellite receiver has features that make watching TV

more exciting. Along with the DVR functions, you are about to discover

new ways to make programming choices.

Dual and Single Modes

The satellite receiver can be installed and operated in one of two ways:

Dual Mode

Dual Mode uses TV1 outputs to deliver programming to the nearby TV, and

TV2 outputs to deliver programming to the remote TV(s).

While in Dual Mode, you can use this two-tuner satellite receiver to watch

different programs in two locations:

• Nearby TV - Programming from the receiver is delivered to the TV

near the receiver using short audio/video cables.

• Remote TV - Programming from the receiver is delivered to a TV

located in another room using existing in-home coaxial cable.

Program viewing at each TV location is independent.
