Turbo HD
Turbo HD was a series of HD-only programming packages that were offered by DISH Network. the corporate aimed to attractiveness to HD enthusiasts by mercantilism plans that offered nothing however HD content. though DISH Network supports 1080p video resolutions, a channel should natively broadcast in 1080p to properly read content therein quality. several major networks still do not broadcast in 1080p at the time of publication. the quality, silver and gold HD-only plans still be obtainable beneath DISH Network's DISH America whole.

Resolution
The 1080p resolution represents the quantity of pixels that stretch vertically on AN HD show, with a constituent being the littlest element that creates up the image that is shown. The additional pixels used the additional elaborated the image shown will be. this sort of resolution may be cited as "full HD" as a result of it offers the best HDTV video quality when put next to alternative HD signals, like the 720p and 1080i resolutions. The "p" in 1080p stands for "progressive," whereas the "i" utilized in 1080i stands for "interlaced."

Advantage
The 1080p resolution offered by DISH Network, additionally to the foremost doable pixels obtainable, uses progressive scan technology to deliver the HD image altogether. this suggests that every line of pixels seen on a show square measure made on the screen along, in one continuous pass, as opposition reticular resolutions that chop-chop alternate between even and odd lines to make a picture. though the human eye generally does not notice the lower quality offered by reticular resolutions owing to the speed during which the show method is finished, video displayed in 1080p can give a bonus once fast paced content is being shown. Sports, action movies or alternative fast paced content will distort pictures shown in reticular resolutions. DISH Network's Turbo HD was the primary 1080p programming offered by a significant cable or satellite supplier within the U.S., consistent with Audioholics.

Additional data
DISH Network's Turbo HD upgrade in 2008 did not need any shopper hardware upgrades and was done by remotely putting in new code to a customer's HD-DVR box. The 1080p signals need additional information measure than its counterparts, that DISH Network adopted the employment of 8PSK-Turbo technology. This methodology of coding is employed to extend the speed of satellite information transmission, in addition as image frame rates, consistent with Audioholics. sit down with DISH Network's official channel offerings for up-to-date data on whether or not or not your favorite channels square measure obtainable in 1080p.
Free and Premium Services
Satellite and cable tv broadcasters in Europe transmit each free and premium channels. The Dreambox’s tuner mechanically decodes all free digital TV channels. However, to look at premium channels on the Dreambox, you need to have a legitimate subscription card from the broadcaster. The Dreambox has 2 card slots on the front of the device in order that you'll be able to buy channel packages from quite one broadcaster.

Satellite Broadcasts
The Dreambox uses the DVB-S2 decryptr to decode signals from satellite TV broadcasters. various European satellites, together with the Astra and Hotbird satellites, transmit tv broadcasts that provide free and subscription channels. To decrypt signals from quite one satellite on the Dreambox, you need to have a multi-satellite system put in. Multi-satellite systems comprises one dish with multiple Low Noise Block devices bolted onto completely different satellites, or one motorized dish and LNB that moves to lock on to signals from completely different satellites.

Cable Broadcasts
Dreambox produces a cable-television version of the Dreambox that has a DVB-C decryptr to decode cable tv broadcasts. Dreambox's vary of cable receivers sometimes additionally ship with a DVB-T decoder for secret writing over-the-air digital tv through your antenna. Some cable operators give their own instrumentality and forbid the installation of third-party decoders, thus consult with your cable service before putting in the Dreambox.

Tuning
After connecting the Dreambox to the satellite signal or cable tv feed, perform a channel scan to feature all offered channels to the Dreambox’s electronic program guide. The Dreambox offers unlimited channel lineup memory, thus you'll be able to store all offered channels on even the biggest and most comprehensive multi-satellite systems. after you initial got wind of the Dreambox, the installation wizard prompts you to pick out your tuner configuration mode; for instance, single satellite or multi-satellite system. The wizard mechanically scans the satellite or cable service and adds channels to the receiver’s memory. Access specific channels with the channel "up" and "down" keys on the device French telephone or from the device’s electronic program guide.
How DISH Network Works
DISH Network uses a fleet of satellites in fixed orbit; that's, the satellites orbit the world at constant rate because the Earth's rotation, that the satellite appears to "stand still" over a selected space on the Earth's surface. These satellites ar clad in order that most areas of North America can have one in every of them overhead. The satellites beam programming all the way down to alittle, mounted dish put in at the customer's web site. DISH Network's satellites broadcast microwave frequencies in what's referred to as the element band, that is usually used for direct-broadcast transmissions.

Kinds of Weather that may have an effect on Reception
One feature of Ku-band microwaves is that they're additional simply scattered and absorbed by water droplets than the longer C-band waves employed by previous big-dish systems. As a result, heavy rain, dense snow, or thick overcast will cut the strength of the satellite signal by the time it reaches the customer's dish. whereas this sometimes produces issues solely throughout the peak of a storm, build-up of snow or ice on the dish will manufacture longer-lasting reception issues.

Symptoms of Weather-Related Interference
The interference to direct-broadcast satellite signals caused by weather is thought as "rain fade." it's sometimes practised as Intermittent loss of signal, poor image quality, pictures that freeze or become pixelated, and screen blackouts. Rain fade are often distinguished from alternative forms of reception issues as a result of it happens solely momentarily and affects all the receivers hooked up to the dish.

Solar Interference
While not weather-related, another heavenly kind of signal interference is that the sun itself. twice throughout the year, sometimes in early spring and time of year, the sun passes directly behind the DISH Network satellite for many minutes. throughout this era, the radiation placing the dish overwhelms the microwave signal. As a result, the house system can't receive TV signals. The precise temporal arrangement of those blackouts depends on the angle between the dish and also the satellite, and also the specific satellite the dish is aimed toward.
