Dish Network Hopper User Manual

Welcome
Chapter 1
WELCOME
Thanks for choosing DISH. You are about to experience the excitement and convenience
of our Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) service, which delivers the very best picture and
sound quality. DISH consistently provides the latest products and satellite services—with
high performance, ease of operation, and a wide variety of entertainment options.
Your new Hopper is a Whole-Home HD DVR that offers full digital video recording
functionality, including pausing live TV, to every TV in your house that is a part of your
Whole-Home DVR network. The Hopper HD DVR is the hub for all things entertainment.
It's a three-tuner HD DVR that lets you record up to three HD channels at once and play
them back from any room in your home. Plus, you can record up to six HD channels at
once with PrimeTime Anytime™ (with your local ABC, CBS, FOX AND NBC channels in
HD, which may not be available in all markets). It is one HD DVR that works independently
on as many as four different TVs at the same time, so everyone can be in different rooms
watching TV.
The Joey Receiver connects to other TVs in your home and links with the Hopper to create
a Whole-Home DVR network. It offers all of the features of the Hopper (except for Picture-
In-Picture) and offers an identical user interface and remote control as the Hopper. You
can connect a Joey to a high-definition or standard-definition TV.
