Growing number of people in the US today are switching to widescreen HD TVs for their homes. The demand for HD TVs is galloping every year, and the prices of these high-definition marvels seem to be dropping every year. Optimistic as it might seem, there still are a great many people out there in America who use conventional CRT TVs or mediocre HD-ready LCD sets. There are also many people who do not want or cannot afford high-definition content on their TV sets. Such people are usually content with SD content, which means Standard Definition content. Unlike high definition content, standard definition content has a much lower resolution, or number of pixels. The very pixels are also rectangular and not square, as is the case with HD content. DISH Network has a handful of SD receivers for such viewers, bringing them clear digital SD video at highly affordable rates. First up is the Solo 311 receiver. This SD receiver supports one independent viewing standard definition TV. It features a display resolution of 480i which brings brilliant clarity over that of cable TV. It has the on-screen caller ID with history in case you need to connect your phone line to receiver. It meets the EPA’s latest Energy Star standards so will barely make any difference to your energy bill. The handy remote control allows you to flip through channels and control the receiver. The Solo 311 is quite elegantly designed, with a black exterior that is fingerprint-proof. The top is studded with tiny holes to allow good ventilation and cool operation. A lot of people in the US today have more than one TV. No one wants to haggle with a family member for TV domination! The Solo 311 supports just one SD TV so if you want the content to reach two TVs, you need the Duo 322 receiver. Well, no more TV-related quarrels at home anymore with the Duo 322! This sleek little gadget supports two SD TVs. Not only that, it also features two separate remote controls for each TV. One key advantage of this receiver is that you can have a look at the On-Screen Electronic program Guide or EPG. The EPG gives you up to two days of program listings and other information. With this receiver around, you won’t have to wait for the next day’s newspaper or hunt online to find out what is on TV the following day. Another great feature of this receiver is parental control locks. With kids having easy access to TV in every home, many parents have concerns about the content their children could be exposed to early in life. With the parental lock control in place, you remain free of worries. It allows you to lock out adult channels or channels which you might deem unsuitable for your children. Apart from this, you get theme lists, favorite lists, one-touch channel return, closed-caption support and alternate audio. You also get the on-screen caller ID with history and a 480i display resolution.
