Satellite Receiver Overview

Satellite Receiver Overview

This section gives you an overview of your DISH Network satellite TV receiver system.

Satellite Receiver

The ViP622 DVR and ViP722 DVR are dual-tuner satellite receivers with digital video recorders.

With either receiver you can view/record standard-definition (SD) and high-definition (HD)

DISH Network programming on two TVs or view/record over-the-air digital/HD broadcasts on the nearby HDTV.

• Nearby TV (TV1)—Connect to an HDTV to view SD and HD DISH Network programming and over-the-air digital/HD broadcasts. Programming from the receiver is delivered to the nearby

TV using short audio/video cables.

• Remote TV(s) (TV2)—Connect to an SDTV to view SD and down-converted HD broadcasts.

Programming from the receiver is usually delivered to the remote TV(s) using existing in-home coaxial cable.

Remote Controls

Two remote controls come with your receiver:

• Remote Control 1 - An Infrared (IR) remote to control programming for the nearby TV (TV1).

This remote control is labeled with a green number 1, which matches similar markings on the receiver output connections and the menus for the nearby TV.

• Remote Control 2 - An Ultra-High Frequency Pro (UHF Pro) remote to control programming at a remote TV (TV2). This remote control is labeled with a blue number 2, which matches similar markings on the receiver output connections and the menus for the remote TV. Be sure to set up the remote control to operate the receiver (see page 72).

Dual and Single Modes

Your satellite receiver includes two modes of operation: Dual and Single. These modes increase your entertainment options because you’ll be able to choose how you watch and record your favorite programs.

Dual Mode

While in Dual Mode, you can use this dual-tuner satellite receiver to watch different programming in two separate locations:

• Nearby TV—Programming from the receiver is delivered to the TV near the receiver using short audio/video cables and is controlled using Remote Control 1. The nearby TV is also referred to as “TV1.”

• Remote TV—Programming from the receiver is delivered to a TV located in another room using existing in-home coaxial cable and is controlled using Remote Control 2. The video displayed on the remote TV is always in standard definition (SD). High-definition stellite

Satellite Receiver

Dual and Single Modes programming can be viewed on the remote TV; however, it is down-converted for viewing on the remote TV. The remote TV is also referred to as “TV2.”

You can tell your receiver is in Dual Mode because the front panel mode indicator will light and the menu and other screens will display Dual Mode (as shown below).

Dual and Single Modes

Single Mode provides dual-tuner receiver features—like Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and the ability to watch one live program while recording another—to all connected TVs.

Single Mode delivers the same programming to all of the TVs connected to the satellite receiver and allows control by either remote control. The format of the programming shown on the remote

TV(s) is standard-definition (SD); high-definition (HD) is shown only on the nearby TV. High-definition programming can be viewed at either TV location; however, it is down-converted for viewing on the remote TV. You can tell you are in Single Mode because the front panel mode indicator will light and the menus and other screens will display Single Mode (as shown below).

TV2 are not lost, they are simply unavailable in Single

Mode.

Closed Captioning from the receiver is available on both outputs (TV1 and

TV2).

Note: If someone is viewing the remote TVs while the receiver is in Dual Mode, you will see a popup on the nearby TV warning you that you are about to disrupt the use of the TV2 outputs.

Remote Control

The two remote controls give you access to all the features of your satellite receiver. You can set up each remote to control the satellite receiver and up to three other devices (see page 75). These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device.

This section describes how to use the various features on the two types of remote controls included with your satellite TV system.

Remote Control

Types of Remote Controls

1

Remote Control 1 uses infrared (IR) signals to:

• Control TV1 menus for the nearby

TV in Dual Mode.

• Control the satellite receiver in

Single Mode.

IR signals travel only short distances

(60 feet or less), and cannot go through walls or other solid objects.

You must point the remote control directly at the receiver, with no objects blocking the line of sight.

Remote Control 1 uses IR signals to control the receiver and other devices it is programmed to operate.

This remote control is identified by the green number 1 at the bottom of the remote control.

2

UHF

Remote Control 2 uses UHF Pro signals to:

• Control TV2 menus for the remote

TVs in Dual Mode.

• Control the satellite receiver in

Single Mode.

UHF Pro signals travel long distances and go through walls and other solid objects.

To use Remote Control 2 to control the receiver, you must attach the remote control antenna to the receiver

back panel (see page 17).

Remote Control 2 uses IR signals to operate other devices programmed into the remote control. You must point the remote control directly at these devices, with no objects blocking the line of sight.

This remote control is identified by the blue number 2 at the bottom of the remote control.

Remote Control Batteries

The remote control comes with AAA batteries. When you replace old batteries, you should replace all of the batteries. Use batteries of the same kind, for example, alkaline or carbon zinc. Don’t mix batteries of different kinds. Alkaline batteries last longer.

1. Press down on the top of the battery cover and slide the cover off.

2. Take out all of the old batteries.

3. Put the new batteries in. Make sure you match the plus (“+”) ends with the plus markings on the battery case.

4. Slide the cover back into place.

Low Battery Warning

When you see a low battery warning message on your screen below the Program

Banner, the batteries in your remote control are weak and need to be replaced.

Remote Battery Low

Attach the Remote Antenna

Attach the remote control antenna to the receiver's back panel R EMOTE A NTENNA input so you can use your UHF Pro Remote Control 2. Without the remote control antenna, you cannot use the remote to control the receiver. See Adjusting the Remote Control Antenna on page 73 for more detailed information about improving the performance of your UHF Pro Remote Control 2.

Tips

Tips

• You can use the Front Panel Locks to prevent the mode from being changed accidentally. See page 49 for instructions.

• The only way to turn off the TV2 outputs is by pressing POWER on Remote

Control 2.

• In Dual Mode, Remote Control 1 is used to control TV1 menus on the nearby TV. Remote

Control 2 is used to control TV2 menus on the remote TVs.

• If you would like to put the receiver in a remote location (such as a closet or cabinet), be sure to get the replacement remote control that uses UHF Pro signals to control TV1. Call your

DISH Network retailer or go to www.dishnetwork.com, select Our Products, and then click on

Accessories.

• If you do not do anything in a menu for several minutes, the menu automatically closes. This will discard any changes you made, and display the program you were watching.

To use Remote Control 2, be sure to attach the Remote Control Antenna. See page 17 for

details.

• On Remote Control 2, press FORMAT/* to change the aspect ratio (display shape) of HD channels displayed on remote TV(s).

Questions

Why put the receiver in Single Mode? When the receiver is in Single Mode, you can use the

PIP functions.

• How can I watch and use the DVR functions on the same program on all of the TVs in

my house? Put the receiver in Single Mode (page 15) and then enable Shared View

(page 88).
