Description:

With the TU-PVR721DU Dish Network satellite system's two-tuner design, you can record two live programs simultaneously and enjoy picture-in-picture viewing on any television. And the unit's built-in personal video recorder (PVR) stores 90 hours of programming to keep the best shows of the season at your beck and call. The PVR also makes it possible to pause live TV (up to two hours on each tuner) and then catch up to live viewing by zipping past nonessential viewing after the fact. It's possible to record two live programs at the same time, record a live program while you're watching another live program, and even record two live programs while you're watching another prerecorded program. There's even a cable TV input if you decide to use the PVR functions before (or in addition to) subscribing to the Dish Network satellite service.

The unit offers four fast-forward and fast-reverse speeds, skip forward (30 seconds), skip back (10 seconds), manual and auto record event timers, quick record, and program-management features that let you play, delete, or protect a recorded event. Enhanced automatic and manual event timers can program the receiver to record directly to the hard drive or to automatically tune to a program at a designated time.

An extended EPG (Electronic Program Guide) stores seven days of programming on the hard drive for quick and easy access to listings. Other features include parental control locks, program information, theme lists, favorites lists, browse, one-touch channel return, closed-caption support, and alternate audio support. The supplied Platinum Plus UHF/Infrared 4-component universal remote control operates the receiver 100 feet away, through walls and other obstructions. It can be programmed to operate (via IR) up to three additional components, such as TVs and VCRs.
