To receive television programming, you'll need a subscription, a dish, and a receiver also called an IRD or a tuner. There are a few different types of receivers, and you choice or option depends on two things. Firstly, if you want to watch shows in high-definition medium remember to choose a receiver capable of pulling in High Definition programming. You'll also need an HD-capable dish and a subscription to high-def programming.
Secondly, if a lot of recording is to be done, think about getting a receiver with a built-in DVR. Today's DVRs are capable of recording hundreds of hours of your favorite programs. There are added benefits of a DVR, such as the ability to pause and rewind live TV. Most receivers offer both HD and DVR capabilities, HD DVR recording capacity is typically around 50 hours for high-definition shows; 400 hours or more for standard-definition.
For a family setting, you need one receiver for each room. So if you have a TV in the family room, bedroom, and kitchen, you would need three receivers. However, some receivers have two tuners, allowing you feed a satellite signal to two televisions using a single receiver. For added convenience, these receivers also include two remotes; one remote operates via radio frequencies, letting you control the receiver from the second room.
There are additional accessories included in this package. Common ones include RG-6 cable, the type of cable that's best-equipped to carry satellite TV signals. Also, if your dish does not have enough outputs to accommodate all your receivers, you might need a multiswitch to enjoy multi-room viewing. Multiswitches enable you to split the satellite signal among a number of receivers without compromising signal quality.
If you are purchasing or leasing a DVR or HD DVR satellite receiver and would like to be able to record two shows at once, or watch one show while recording another, you'll need to run two separate satellite feeds to the unit - that's two RG-6 cables running from your satellite dish to your DVR. Depending on the number of outputs on your satellite dish and the number of receivers you want to hook up, you might need to use a multiswitch.
There is a safer and easy way to receive digital satellite channels and television programming today with a laptop or PC you can view most of these TV shows even live on your computer for free. There is an increasing presence of satellite channels that are being streamed online with better quality pictures than in the time past.
