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.”

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).

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
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.

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).
