HD (high definition) receivers have a number of features that take satellite TV to a whole new level. Watching a TV program in HD is almost like looking at a scene through a window - the picture is crystal clear and you can see the smallest details. In order to view your satellite programs you need an HD TV, and an HD receiver to transmit the high definition signal to your HD TV. DISH Network offers two types of HD Receivers: Standard DISH Network HD Receivers In addition to changing your satellite TV channels, HD receivers include the following features: * It has an on-screen program guide so you can see what's on satellite TV * It has an on-screen caller ID feature that lets you see who's calling you * It has parental control lock so you can restrict the shows your children watch You can get an HD receiver free when your order DISH Network satellite TV service, however you must have an HD TV to view HD programming. DISH Network HD DVR Receivers These receivers have all the features of the standard receivers, plus: * You can record your favorite shows with the push of a button on your remote * You can pause a live TV show, then resume watching it when you're ready * You can record up to 350 hours of programs (55 hours of HD programs) * You can record a live program while watching another program You can get an HD receiver free when your order DISH Network satellite TV service, however you must purchase DVR service to be able to record programs. The Bottom Line I've had an HD DVR receiver for almost a year now, and I wouldn't watch TV without it. The HD picture on my LCD TV is as clear as a bell, the colors are richer, and the sound makes you feel like you're in a movie theater. The only drawback is the $5.99 monthly fee for DRV service. But I feel that's a small price to pay to be able to pause live TV so I can answer the phone or get a snack, plus be able to record and store hundreds of hours of my favorite shows and watch them in high def.
