With a dual mode receiver from DISH Network you can simplify and streamline your whole-home theater system. With one receiver you can control two televisions! Dual mode receivers are versatile and can come with HD or DVR capabilities to fit your home perfectly.
If you have a need for two standard definition televisions your best fit would be the 322 receiver family.
With a 322 receiver you can watch live television on both televisions in standard definition at the same time.
If you’d like to watch and record on two standard defintion televisions in your home you’d be most interested in the 522 receiver family.
With a receiver from the 522 family you can watch live television in standard definition on both TVs at the same time, watch live television on TV while the other records or record on both TVs. You can always watch prerecorded events from your DVR at anytime, even while recording.
If you have an HDTV and a standard definition TV and you’d like to be able to record on both the 622 receiver family, which includes the popular 722k receiver, would satisfy all of your needs.
A receiver from the 622 family allows you to watch live programming in HD on one television and standard definition on another. You can also record on one while watching live TV on another or record on both. At anytime you can watch shows, movies or events already recorded to your DVR.

A hard reset can solve most audio/video, signal loss, hard drive and remote issues you may have with your DISH Network receiver and is the first step for troubleshooting with DISH tech support. A hard reset is easy to perform and can be done two ways:
Find the power cord coming from your DISH Network receiver. If you’re looking at the back of your receiver it’s on the far left side – often marked with a red tag – as shown below.
Follow the power cord to the outlet or power strip it is plugged into and unplug it. Once unplugged, count to ten and then plug it back in.
On the left side of your receiver is a power button. Press and hold the power button for ten seconds then release, your receiver will reset.
Some receiver models have a door, press on it and it will fall down, behind this is a power button in the top left corner and reset button in the bottom left corner. You can press and hold the power button for ten seconds or press and release the reset button, your receiver will reset.
When the receiver turns back on you will see a message that says “Attention Acquiring Satellite Signals”, and once that’s completed it will say, “Downloading Program Guide”. You can press the Select button on your remote or receiver to skip this download. If you were having issues with your program guide showing “No Information Available” or having incorrect times, it is best to let the download complete.
If you performed a hard reset because your receiver was saying “Attention Acquiring Satellite Signals”, give it a few moments after start up. It will usually progress and reconnect to the satellites after a reset.
