| EchoStar is the other 18-inch dish satellite system. It offers more than 500 channels, including many of the same channels found on DSS. Included in those channels are digital stereo music channels and several movie channels, such as HBO and Showtime. The EchoStar 5000 is the top-of-the-line DISH Network receiver and features a 32-bit microprocessor for quick channel and EPG (electronic program guide) response. The unit includes two A/V outputs, one S-Video output and two inputs (one from the DISH Network dish and one for your local cable/rooftop antenna cable). It has a 10-event timer and a universal remote that can control up to four components. |
