5900 is like 5100 or 5800 except bigger hard drive (can store more hours of recorded programming). You can watch recorded programming and record live stuff at the same time. WIth 5900, you can't record live and watch another live though. Expressvu will have receivers that can do this in future. The 5100 is similar to the 5900 except for the remote control.

If you go to dishnetwork site, the 522 model of satellite will be EVUs 5200 (dual tuner PVR) and 921 will be HD Dual tuner PVR (9100). THe 5900 is same as 510 dishnetwork receiver.

he 5900 is a single tuner PVR with the capacity to record up to 80 hours of programming. It offers a coaxial output, two sets of RCAs, S-Video, and an optical output. It can respond to both IR and UHF signals. The hard drive has a one hour buffer intended for rewinding and pausing purposes, meaning that you can rewind a channel back up to an hour or keep an event paused for that same duration before it goes back to PLAY mode. Pressing VIEW on the remote will always bring the receiver back into LIVE mode, i.e. the user will see what is currently being broadcasted.

Having two tuners also has other benefits, such as Picture in Picture (pip), or you can set the receiver into dual mode where two separate rooms can watch TV independently of each other, using the supplied UHF remote. If the second tuner is not in use, the first TV can still reschedule recordings using the second tuner.

About Receiver

* The Personal Video Recorder (PVR) Model 5900, with its 120 Gig hard disk drive, combines an integrated digital satellite receiver and Personal Video Recorder. * This receiver allows you to pause live TV, watch a pre-recorded show while you are recording another one, fast-forward through commercials and completely redefine your viewing habits around what you like instead of what the broadcasters like. * Since this receivers records digital programming in digital format (on a hard disk drive), the quality of what you record is absolutely perfect - you can therefore say goodbye to VHS tapes and SLP recording forever! * The integrated hard disk drive lets you record up to 80 hrs (depending on what you record)!

Search feature

Your favourite events can now be found using the PVR Search feature. Use a key word such as "football", the name of an actor, or a show title such as "The Osbournes". Entering this key information via The Electronic Programming Guide (EPG) on the 5900 system enables the PVR to gather the information you are seeking. There are two ways to access this feature: * Pressing the # sign key on your remote control will automatically bring up the Search screen. * Search has been added to the Themes option and can be accessed by pressing the left arrow key while in view mode or Menu 2. Entering the key word for your search can be done in 2 ways: * By using the on screen keyboard and using the directional arrow keys on the remote to scroll through the characters. Pressing the select key will place the highlighted character in the selection box. In French, accented characters ( ie - á, ç and È) are automatically available when you select the corresponding character in English. * A quicker and easier way is to use the numeric key pad on your remote control (like on a cell phone). By simply pressing the number that corresponds with the character you are looking at, you can spell out key search words instantly. A History Screen has been developed to work with this Search Feature on the 5900. It allows the viewer to easily access all previous searches. This is great when you are an avid viewer of a particular type of event and perform searches frequently.

User Interface

* The 5920 has the latest interface made available to satellite receivers, where you can browse your guide and still see what's going on in the show you were watching: The image of your show gets cropped to about 1/5th of the screen size while the guide fills up the rest of your screen. * When you select a new channel the receiver will switch to that channel, or if you press Cancel, you will go back to your show without loosing 1 second or annoying others watching TV with you. * The quality of the graphics and the speed at which the receiver can browse makes paper guides virtually useless (unless you like to plan more than 3 days ahead of schedule).

5920 system consists of 5900 PVR receiver, a 51cm elliptical dish and a dual LNBF.
