Both direct tv and Dish Network offer a DVR tryp receiver.
A DISH Network receiver can only work with a unique Smart card. The card in the DISH Network receiver that you are referring to would be the smart card.
You can use the dish but not the LNB; it will not work for dtv. The DISH Network LNB and the receiver decodes the signal and gives you a picture on your TV.
Yes, there is no difference. I use a Direct dish and an Expressvu receiver at the cottage.
As long as it is a Dish Network receiver that is current, it is allowed. However, it has no effect on monthly charges if you choose to use your own receiver.
You may not have your Dish satellite receiver on the correct channel if it is a duo (dual receiver). You will need to tune it to either 60 or channel 73. Also, make sure your power to your Dish Network receiver is on -- for the Dish TV duo receiver, you should see a light for TV2 and TV1.
"A Dish Network receiver is connected to a television through something that is called a Coaxial cable, which is usually located on the back of a television."
To get HD programming, you need a Dish HD receiver and a HDMI cord which connects from your Dish TV receiver to your HDTV.
No you cannot. The receiver decodes the signal coming from the satellite that is unique to DISH Network.
For DISH Network, the receiver can be about 200 ft away from the dish to operate optimally.
With a DISH Network receiver this is definitely possible, it is referred to as a "Dual-Tuner," and as long as the receiver is in Duo Mode, it allows you to watch independent programming on both TV1 & TV2. So the answer to your question is Yes, you can operate two TVs off of one DISH Network satellite receiver. Hope this helps you out!-Kirstie DISH Network
Actually, you can use a legacy receiver with a DISH Pro dish. An adapter is needed at the receiver to get the proper signal for that receiver. No, Dish Pro is a stacked technology, which the older 3700 will not recognize.
