By John Richardson
Dish Network continues to grace the world with yet another example of their continued efforts to improve delivery of digital satellite signaling to their subscribers. With over 12 million happy subscribers, and the number growing daily, Dish Network strives to provide the best in quality satellite services. Recently introduced as cutting-edge television sophistication, exhibiting Dishnetwork's history of setting standards for better television services, Dish Network's ViP622 DVR has attained that goal. The viewer has total control over the manner in which TV is viewed in the privacy of their home.
The ViP622 DVR supports two televisions - one high definition TV and one standard TV. Off-air digital and high definition broadcasts are viewable, with the TV1 (primary) display supporting 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i resolutions, and both high and standard definitions are simultaneous. TV2 display resolution is 480i with high definition content being down-converted. The dual satellite tuner component allows a choice of viewing options - Single Mode with Picture-In-Picture (PIP) on either TV or Dual Mode for viewing separate programming on two different televisions. High definition programming packages require either a ViP211 or a ViP622 receiver, and the ViP211 is ideal for a single high definition television home. The only difference between the ViP211 and the ViP622 is that the ViP211 is designed for and only supports one television and offers the On-Screen Caller ID with history.
ViP622 produces crystal-clear images that are vivid and appear three-dimensional. This top quality high definition receiver and DVR allow total control in television viewing and recording. Live high definition programming may be paused and replayed or resumed whenever you desire. It allows you to watch programming on one TV while recording different programming on another TV. Off-air digital and high definition broadcasts may be viewed. TV1 supports 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i resolutions, while TV2 supports 480i resolution. The sound is exceptionally well supported by Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. The sleek remote allows up to 180 hours of standard or up to 25 hours of high definition (or a combination) to be recorded and digitally stored on the DVR/Receiver Hard Drive. It has an on-screen nine-day EPG (Electronic Program Guide) giving quick access to programming information and interactive television for instant access to breaking news, sports, weather, and customer service. The dual tuners allow selection of either Single mode: Picture-In-Picture (PIP) available on either TV or Dual mode viewing separate programming on each television.
