More advanced technology is also available. Dish Network can provide receivers that can sent two separate television signals to two TV’s. This way one person can sit in the living room and watch one program, while someone else can sit in a bedroom and watch a completely different program without the added complication of having more than one receivDish Networker. This is accomplished by the remote that goes with the second TV operating on a UHF frequency which can not only penetrate walls, but is also very different from the IR frequency used by the one in the living room, so that the receiver doesn’t confuse the two.

Digital Video Recording is also built into some Dish Network Receivers. Digital Video Recording lets you record the programs that you want to watch regardless of whether or not your home, so you can watch them when you want to. A Digital Video Recorder is far superior to a VCR because it doesn’t use tapes and you can tell it what you want to record quickly and easily using the Dish Network’s Electronic Program Guide.
