New DISH Network HDTV VIP222 Receiver

Next month, EchoStar Communications and its DISH Network will release a new HDTV receiver to complement their premier line of ViP set-top boxes.

The ViP222 is an advanced MPEG-4 dual-tuner receiver for viewers who want both HD programming and a multiroom solution. One tuner can be used to display HD programming while the second displays programming in all-digital standard-definition. The ViP222 features a variety of interactive services through DishHOME interactive television (iTV). Additional features include on-screen caller ID, picture-in-picture, parental locks and more.

The ViP222 is a step up from the ViP211, which only has a single tuner.

The ViP222 is available for lease to new and existing customers through DISH Network’s Digital Home Advantage plan.
