RCA Multi-Room System

Price - $179

This 2 receiver combination is a popular selection, because you can watch different satellite programs on two different machines.

With this combination you don't need to worry about learning two different menu structures. The Primary System (2232) has one-touch VCR record and both receivers have RCA's advanced menu features like AlphaSort and Scout which help you navigate the more than 200 channels on DIRECTV. Both receivers also offer the Guardian feature which allows parental blocking and spending limits on pay-per-view.

Plus, quality is not compromised for price here because you are getting RCA, the top name in DIRECTV Systems. Over 75% of all DIRECTV customers have chosen RCA!

RCA DS2232RD System Features & Benefits

Accelerated 32-Bit Processor
A 32-Bit processor is at the heart of this new receiver. The accelerated performance allows immediate access to all the new interactive features.

Master Touch Universal Infrared Remote Control (CRK76SA)
This new universal remote will control your DIRECTV receiver, plus most brands of TV's VCRs and cable boxes. Navigation buttons are ergonomically designed and color-coded to make surfing the program guides fun.

8-Event Scheduler
Allows consumer the ability to program their RCA brand DIRECTV System to turn on, tune to a specific channel, and turn off at a pre-set time.

One-Button Record
Records any program being viewed or highlighted on the main program guides with the touch of one button. The DIRECTV receiver sends infrared commands to the VCR to execute the recordings at the proper time.

Advanced ON-Screen Program Guides:

SurfGuide
The SurfGuide brings up seven channels of programs at a time. Surf up and down the guide, viewing the current 30-minute or one-hour time window of programming. You'll never miss out on any of the action of your current show, because it stays active in the background while you explore other channels.

Information Guide
Lists five different channels of programming at a glance. Details on the current highlighted program are displayed in a banner at the top of the screen. Program information changes automatically as the consumer navigates through the guide and highlights different programs.

Full Seven-Line Program Guide
Provides channel and program title information for seven different channels covering a two-hour time window. Arrows help indicate programs that started before or ending after the current time shown on the grid.

Interactive Channel Banner
The new translucent, see-through Interactive Channel Banner makes access to the key features of the new DIRECTV System fast and easy. We've taken the most exciting new features, created icons for each of them, and positioned them in the banner for direct access.

The Guardian
With this feature, parents have the ability to lock out specific channels and set rating and spending limits. They will be able to set specific viewing times for both the weekdays and the weekends.

AlphaSort
AlphaSort allows you to sort the current guide alphabetically, starting with any letters you choose. Go directly to any listed show with the push of one button.

Scout
The new Scout feature searches the entire program guide to find matches to eight key words or phrases that you enter. Great for keeping track of your favorite movies, sports teams, actors and actresses!

Home Control
Used in conjunction with Home Control accessories, the receiver can control lights and appliances directly, or while you're away, through the built-in timer function.
