DUAL AND SINGLE MODES
Your satellite TV receiver includes two modes of operation: Dual and Single. These modes
increase your entertainment options because you’ll be able to choose how and where you
watch and record your favorite programs.
Dual Mode
While in Dual Mode, you can use this dual-tuner satellite receiver to watch different
programming in two separate locations:
• Nearby TV—Programming from the receiver is delivered to the TV near the receiver
using normal audio/video cables and is controlled using Remote Control 1. The
nearby TV is also referred to as “TV1.”
• Remote TV—Programming from the receiver is delivered to a TV located in another
room using existing in-home coaxial cable and is controlled using Remote Control 2.
Video displayed on the remote TV is always standard-definition (SD) resolution. High-
definition satellite programming can be viewed on the remote TV; however, it is down-
converted for viewing on the remote TV. The remote TV is also referred to as “TV2.”
You can tell your receiver is in Dual Mode because the front-panel mode indicator will light
and the menu and other screens will show Dual Mode in the corner (as shown below).
