Your new DISH Network Digital Video Recorder (DVR) receiver has three tuners (two

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
