Dish Network - 4 Simple Steps to Picking the Right Receivers

If you are considering switching over to Dish network, you will find some very exciting receiver choices. Before you pick your programing package, you will need to have your equipment selection completed. Picking the right equipment can be easy if you know what steps to follow.

There are 4 simple steps to help you make the right selections. Once you are done with these steps, you will know how many receivers you need and what features they should have.

Number of receivers

The first step is to determine how many televisions you are going to have. As a new customer, Dish Network will give you receivers for up to six televisions. This is only good for the first 72 hrs of your service. After 72 hours, you are now considered an existing customer. You will then have to pay for additional receivers.

Think about all the rooms in the house and talk to other family members about what they would like. Think about your home office, your kitchen, the guest bedroom, etc. Don't just think about how many televisions you have now, think about how many you might have.

High definition

High definition is now the new standard for television viewing. If you plan on buying one, get the receiver now. You do not have to have the high definition set before you get the receiver. These receivers are compatible with your standard television set. Get the receiver now, you can then buy your high definition set when you are ready. The upgrade to a high definition receiver is free for new customers, but could be an expensive upgrade later.

Digital video recorder

The advent of the digital video recorder has really changed our viewing habits. You can now watch your favorite shows when you want, not just when they are on. The DVR will also give you control of live TV viewing. Someone's at the door while you are watching a show, just pause the show and continue when you are ready. Want to see something again, just do your own instant replay.

You control your TV, not the other way around. Upgrading to the digital video recorder is free for new customers. So if you want one, do it now.

Remote viewing

Imagine you are in a hotel room and you miss your local news. Well, Dish Network has a solution for you. You can now view channels on your receiver from anywhere in the world. You will love this upgrade. This is another great upgrade you get at a substantial discount the first time you sign up.
