As part of its announcement that it is adding ESPN2 HD, Universal HD, 5 VOOM HD networks and HD local channels in 50 markets this year, DISH Network also stated that these new high-def programming options will only be available to customers who upgrade to DISH's new MPEG4 receivers.
DISH said that The ViP211 HD satellite receiver, the first model in the ViP series that supports both MPEG4 and MPEG2, is available for $49.99 for new lease customers. Also included in the ViP series is the ViP622 DVR, the world's first MPEG4 multi-room high definition and digital video recorder satellite TV receiver with the ability to view independent programs -- one in high definition and one in standard definition programming -- on two televisions at once. It features a large hard drive with a recording capacity of up to 25 hours of high-definition and up to 180 hours of standard-definition content. The ViP622 DVR will be available in the first quarter of 2006 for a one-time upgrade price of $299 for new lease customers, which includes a dish antenna and free standard professional installation (monthly DVR fee applies).
