DISH Player-DVR 625 is advanced with dual tuner receivers and TV outputs that boast the capability to record two shows simultaneously while allowing independent viewing.  It can record up to 100hours of non-stop digital video programming with its 120gigabyte hard drive.  Among others, DVR 625’s features include an optical digital audio output, interactive TV capability, supports name-base recording technology, one USB1.1 port, two remote controls and so much more.

ViP622 HD DVR receiver, on the other hand has two separate modulated HDTV tuners for two TVs, one for an HDTV and one for an SDTV.  With this receiver, the viewers can watch HD and SD Dish Network programming with the two tuners.  Vip622 also features the name-based recording technology, digital off-air dual tuners that support MPEG4/MPEG2 satellite tuner technology, HDTV digital audio/video output3, two USB2.0 ports, and Ethernet port4. 

The satellite tuners have two viewing options, Single Mode or Dual Mode.  Simply put, Single mode has the PIP (picture in picture) technology while Dual Mode gives viewers the ability to watch two TVs independently.

Single Mode allows the user to have full control of the two tuners by using one remote control.  The viewers can switch between the two tuners by selecting the built in "Picture in Picture" (PIP) feature on the remote or “Swap” for the images to swap places as desired.  PIP technology is a feature where a channel is displayed on the full TV screen while another inset window is also being displayed.  One of the key features of this receiver is that viewers can use Single Mode from the other TV’s location. When operated in Single Mode, the Dish ViP622 provides capabilities similar with TIVO.

Dual Mode is applicable for two room DVR activities.  In Dual Mode both viewers have complete control over their own tuner, separately.  Each TV can record and watch shows independently.  In this mode, only one TV can record at one instance. 

Finally, ViP722 HD DVR receiver has similar features with the top-notch ViP622 but with more recording capacity.  Dish clients enjoy recording up to 350 hours of SD and 55 hours of HD programming with this receiver.  With its superb imaging quality, ability to pause, record and replay live shows in high definition puts ViP722 in front seat among best quality satellite TV receivers.  ViP722 also supports two TVs (1 HD and 1 SD), has dual satellite tuners (with the single and dual mode features) and compatible with Dolby® Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, and more.
