Choosing an actual satellite is one part of the decision making process when choosing a satellite television package, but an equally important part is choosing the right receiver. Satellite receivers allow the satellite dish to communicate with your television or projector. Most satellite receivers now feature HDTV tuners with the growing popularity of high-definition television. The on-screen user interface and the channel guides tend to differ from receiver to receiver so its a good idea to take a look at these features before deciding on a receiver. Another nice feature that many receivers offer is the ability to record your favorite shows in MPEG format and then transfer them to DVD. The ability to record video on flash drives also means that the firmware of the receiver can be upgraded via a USB port. It is also very nice when you can connect an external USB hard drive to the unit. It greatly increases the amount of space you have to record and store movies.

The number of inputs is another important feature that should be considered when choosing a receiver. Will you want to send the signal to multiple televisions or will you be attaching a surround sound system to the receiver? Then you need to have enough inputs, of the right variety, to connect what you want to the receiver. Most satellite receivers currently on the market feature at least three different outputs. Something else to think about is the video output the receiver can handle. Many televisions on the market can handle up to 1080i video format. So it is a good idea to make sure that the receiver you choose is capable of handling that type of video formatting. It is kind of silly to have a television capable of processing a 1080i signal but having a receiver that can only handle a 480i signal.

It may not seem very important, but something else to consider is how fast the receiver changes channels. Some older receivers may take a few seconds to change the channel, which is alright sometimes, but when you are channel surfing you will probably want something faster. Many of the receivers currently on the market can change the channel in under a second. Aspect ratios are important when watching movies in order to get a real theater feel. Aspect ratio refers to the ratio between an image’s width and height. 4:3 is the standard aspect radio for television while 16:9 is the standard used for HDTV. Most satellite receivers feature 4:3, letterbox, full screen and 16:9 aspect ratios. For the environmentally and economically conscious you may want to take into consideration the power consumption of the satellite receiver, especially in standby mode. Consider something that consumes less than 5 W of power when in standby mode.

The satellite receiver you chose is an important part of your entire satellite television package, so it is important to take the time to choose a receiver that has all the features you want to truly enjoy what satellites television has to offer.
