TV Satellite Dish

A TV satellite Dish is used to capture the signal broadcast from a TV satellite. The dish redirects the signal to an LNB (low-noise block) converter where it's amplified and sent to a TV receiver.

DISH Network Satellite Dish

When you order DISH Network satellite TV service you get a 20" multi-TV satellite dish with advanced LNB for free.

DIRECTV Satellite Dish

DIRECTV will give you an 18" DIRECTV Dual LNB dish for free when you order satellite TV service from them.

Satellite Receiver

A satellite receiver amplifies and decodes the signal from the LNB converter and sends it to your TV.

DISH Network Receivers

With DISH Network you have a variety of free receivers to choose from when you order their satellite service:

* A standard receiver for watching satellite TV on one television.
* A dual-tuner receiver for watching different shows on two TVs.
* A DVR receiver so you can digitally record, pause, and replay live TV.
* An HD receiver so you can view high definition programming.

DIRECTV Receivers
