Let us explore some of the important interactive features that DISH TV has in store for all the viewers. These include Electronic Programming Guide, Digital Video Recorder, Mobile Applications, Multi-screen Viewing and Parental Control Lock.

Electronic Programming Guide:

Satellite TV offers a wide variety of programs and shows that includes music, movies, sports, talk shows, reality bites and many more. Since all these shows are aired at different times of the day and on various channels, it becomes difficult for the viewers to keep a track of the show timings and the respective channels. It becomes really confusing at times. As a result the viewers tend to miss most of the shows. But there no need to worry at all. The Electronic Programming Guide or EPG can solve this problem of yours.

An EPG is a database that contains the details of all the shows and programs being featured. The details include the channel name, the title of the show, the time and duration. This is quite an essential tool and you can accordingly select your choicest shows by browsing through the list of the EPG.

Digital Video Recorder:

There may be chances of you missing some of the favorite shows and movies. You might want to watch a particular movie that it is being aired at a particular time of the day but you are unable to do so. The Satellite DISH TV DVR will solve all your problems. You just have to put the timer on and the DVR will record the show or movie for you that you watch at your convenient time. These DVRs are capable of recording for long hours.

Mobile Applications:

Yet another way to access your EPG is through mobile applications. Be it in any part of the world, away from home, you can still access and browse through the program list and accordingly set the timer on your DVR to record the show. For mobile applications you need to have iPhone or iPhone Touch.

Multi-Screen Viewing:

Through multi-screen viewing you can view more than one program on the same television screen. You need not have to fight over the remote anymore with your family members. The multi-screen feature of DISH TV helps you to view upto 6 programs on the same screen. Isn’t that amazing?

Parental Control Lock:

Sometimes there are certain shows aired on DISH Network channels that may have a negative impact on the tender minds of the kids. To stop your kids from watching such content you can block some of the channels which you feel are not suitable for your kids.
