=== Model 381 ===This is a SD (Standard Definition) satellite receiver with HD capabilities for over the air signal.  This satellite receiver has a built in Digital TV Receiver for broadcast TV.  The 381 is the same as a Model 811, less HD satellite capability.  Dish Network describes this strange receiver as "A standard definition satellite receiver with the added benefit of being able to view analog/digital (HD) over-the-air broadcasts using HD outputs.[[Image:dishnetreceiver381.jpg]]=== Model 922 HD DVR ===Connects two independent TVs for viewing at home, plus watch live and recorded programming on your computer or mobile device.  Includes 1 terabyte hard drive.  [[Image:dishnetreceiver922.jpg]]The term '''Twin''' is often erroneously used to describe the housing with two LNBs.The name '''Twin''' is often erroneously used to describe the housing with two LNBs. (''explained in detail later'')The term "dual" was already established to refer specifically to an LNB that can receive from a single satellite and that has two outputs for two receivers.  So when Dish Network wanted a name to refer to their single housing that contained LNBs for pointing at two satellites they used the word "Twin" with an uppercase T.  Twin is a name created by Dish Network with a different meaning than the word twin (lowercase t).  There is no such thing in the Dish Network world as a Twin dual LNB unit.
