Is it possible to watch separate programming on two televisions with one DISH Network receiver?
Yes, it is possible with our newest receivers: the DISH 322, the DISH Player-DVR 522, the DISH Player-DVR 625 & the DISH Player-DVR 942. The dual-tuner DISH Player-DVR’s reflects some of DISH Network’s best technology, allowing you to watch programming on two televisions and adding DVR functionality – so you can record, pause and replay live TV. The DISH Player 942 offers DVR and HD capabilities. With its ability to connect two or more TV’s, you can enjoy HD and SD programming in two separate rooms.

Do any of your receivers support picture-in-picture (PIP)?
Our DISH Player - DVR 522, 625, 721, 921 and 942 supports PIP. Simply press the PIP button. If the 522, 625 and 942 do not respond, you’ll need to change them to Single Mode.

In order to use your TV’s PIP you would need to connect one of our receiver’s outputs to your TV’s PIP input, and the other PIP input with your off-air antenna signal, VCR or second receiver.
