What is 4DTV?

As you may have heard, there's a revolution going on in satellite entertainment. A digital revolution. Many of your favorite channels are converting their broadcast to digital: new digital services are already here, with more on the way in North America!

The 4DTV product will be able to receive analog C & Ku-band programming along with digital DCII programming. The 4DTV will not be able to allow you to watch DVB digital programming; another big dish digital standard.

Introducing the 4DTV satellite receiver from Motorola, (formerly NextLevel Systems, Inc. & formerly General Instrument), the leader in satellite television. 4DTV is a big dish digital satellite receiver (digital side car 905) and a dish mover (920 & 922's), that is capable of receiving analog, analog VCII+ (with the plug in VCII+ decoder), digital DCII & digital DCII HDTV signals (note: To receive the DCII HDTV signals an add-on HDD200 receiver to your 4DTV receiver is required).
Keep on enjoying all the benefits of your big dish:

• The choices
• The picture quality
• The entertainment value
• The freedom

The 4DTV receiver will make you appreciate your big dish even more, thanks to its ability to receive crystal clear digital video signals and advanced user features such as its Interactive Program Guide.

The 4DTV receiver means more choice

When you add the 4DTV receiver to you big dish system, you'll be able to receiver four types of satellite signals:

• "In the clear" (free programming)
• Analog "VideoCipher^® "broadcast (subscription channels)
• The new free digital DigiCipher^® broadcast
• The encrypted digital DigiCipher^® broadcast

Since digital allows more channels on each satellite, you'll have more programs to choose from so you can watch what you want when you want. Enjoy choosing from over 500 channels initially, and just watch the number of new channels continue to grow. More Pay-Per-View channels so you can watch the latest movies virtually on demand-- day or night. Dozens of CD-quality music channels without commercial interruption, new movie channels, sports, news, and so much more.

Make your big dish even better

Compared to cable and mini-dish systems, the 4DTV receiver gives you even more of what you want to watch. More sports. More movies. More music. More special interest and international programming. More adult entertainment. And with the 4DTV receiver, you only pay for the programs you want. Unlike cable and mini-dish systems, being able to choose where you buy your programming means you'll always be able to shop for the best price. Thanks to all the additional free programming, the 4DTV receiver makes your big dish system an even better entertainment value--month after month and year after year.
