JVC TU-DP811RU DISH Network HD satellite receiver

Date Published: 1/7/08

The JVC TU-DP811RU combines high-definition capabilities with a competent DISH Network satellite receiver, enabling viewers to watch satellite and over-the-air TV in both standard and high-definition formats.

Twin tuners make it possible to access two programs at once (for picture-in-picture functions or for viewing one program while recording another), and the programs can be viewed in SD or HD, as required by the capabilities of the TV. A DISH Network on-screen program guide makes short work of selecting which shows to watch. Favorite channels can be configured for quick access, and parental controls are available to limit children's access to inappropriate content.

The rear of the TU-DP811RU has both NTSC and ATSC antenna inputs, along with two composite video inputs. Two composite video outputs, an S-video output, an HD component video output, a DVI digital-to-digital output, and an optical digital audio output provide plenty of connectivity options for a variety of displays and recording devices. The universal remote control has a range of up to 200 feet and can function through walls and doors, so the TU-DP811RU can be hidden in a cabinet or controlled from the next room.
