The JVC TU-DP301DU is a DISH Network satellite receiver with a sleek, slim-line chassis. It brings 500 channels of exciting digital video and audio. The package includes a receiver, the DISH 500 antenna, and a double dual LNBF. The dual LNBFs and 20-inch dish antenna allow reception of signals from two satellite locations in two rooms (with an optional second receiver).

The TU-DP301DU features the DISH Interactive user interface and a four-component universal remote, which grants full control over all satellite features, the program guide, one-touch information, and V-Chip parental control. Automatic and manual event timers simplify programming (the receiver will turn to a predetermined channel at a set time). The unit uses a 2400-baud internal modem/phone jack and offers DISH CD music song titling to display track and artist information when you play CDs.

The TU-DP301DU supports composite- and S-video televisions and offers a single pair of left-right analog audio outputs and a traditional RF-type AV output to accommodate older VCRs. You can access power on/off, channel-up, and channel-down controls from the unit’s front-panel buttons. Other viewing features include onscreen program guide, program browse, page-at-a-time scrolling, one-touch info button, and inbound DISH Network electronic mail support. The system comes with satellite-upgradable software and four user-defined lists of favorites (up to 30 channels per list).
