Overview
The Dish VIP722K is a dual-tuner HD DVR receiver built for Dish Network satellite TV service, not a home theater audio amplifier despite the AV Receivers category it is filed under here. It weighs 11 lb, and the listing gives no other specs.
This model line predates most current streaming boxes and was Dish's DVR hardware for recording and watching satellite programming on two TVs from one box. Anyone shopping by the AV Receivers category label should note this is set-top DVR hardware, not an audio amplifier for a home theater speaker setup.

Who it's for
Relevant only to existing Dish Network satellite subscribers who need compatible DVR hardware, likely as a replacement or backup unit. It has no place in a home theater audio setup built around amplifying speakers.
