Thirty years ago, when satellite TV was in its infancy, systems were expensive and targeted to the elite. Those days are long gone and satellite TV has grown from a niche product to one enjoyed by tens of millions of people every day. DISH Network continues to lead the way in affordable television service with cutting-edge technology that provides unparalleled quality and entertainment.
#1 - You save money with DISH Network!
Have you looked at your cable bill lately? If so, you're probably trying to figure exactly what you're paying for...and why it's so much! If you're a DirecTV customer, you're certainly asking yourself that question. Cable companies (like Comcast, Time Warner, Charter, Cox, Cablevision), DirecTV, and other TV providers like AT&T and Verizon can't touch the rates that DISH Network offers you. Apples to Apples, you will save money by making DISH Network your digital TV provider!
To start, DISH Network offers five packages under $50 each; no one else comes close. You can start as small as the DISH America package for $24.99 per month, or take a giant leap forward to the America's Top 250 at $49.99. Don't need 250 channels? No problem! Our most common package, the America's Top 100, currently starts at $29.99 per month. At $39.99, the America's Top 200 offers yet another option to have a great channel list and still save money. Talk about cheap!
How does DISH Network save you all of that money? Drive by your local cable company or tv provider one day and take a look outside of their building. Guess what you're going to see - a satellite dish! You may even see multiple satellite dishes. With DISH Network, you get satellite TV that skips the middle man. Why pay a cable TV provider to take a channel they receive from satellite TV, downgrade the signal, and send it to you through a cable in the ground…and then charge you more money to do it! It may not even be digital TV coming to your house!
How much money will you save? It all depends on how much you're paying today - or should I say how much you're overpaying today. Over the course of a year, many who switch to DISH Network will save hundreds of dollars on their TV bill. Don't you want to lower your TV bill?
#2 - DISH Network has the channels you want to watch!
DISH Network systems carry well over 400 different channels that you can subscribe to and watch anytime at your home. That's a lot to watch, and a very big channel list! As neat as that sounds, most of us don't watch hundreds and hundreds of different channels, but there we all have certain channels that we absolutely must have.
Maybe you're a sports fan, and channels like ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, Fox Sports Net, your regional sports channel, CBS College Sports, Versus, or The Outdoor Channel are essential to you. Almost everyone watches the news, and cable TV channels like Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC may be on your list. If you like entertainment industry focused programming you'll probably want channels like MTV, VH1, BET, E!, and Bravo. Variety type channels (like USA, TNT, SpikeTV, FX, Lifetime, and Oxygen) are popular, as are home and lifestyle improvement channels like TLC, HGTV, The Food Network, and DIY. There are seemingly limitless movie options, including channels like TCM and AMC all the way up to popular premium channels like HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and Starz. Nearly everyone wants their local channels from the major networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox. There are literally hundreds more that could be listed here.
You may fall into one or several of these buckets, but no matter which one applies, DISH Network has a solution for you. Always ask yourself this question, “What are my ‘must-have' channels?” You'll spend most of your time watching these. Check out our Package Comparison, or look at each individual package page side-by-side and find which package is for you. I guarantee that DISH Network has something for you!
#3 - DISH Network has the best TV technology!
It might be surprise you that the lowest priced TV provider in the country has the most innovative technology available on the market, but it sure doesn't surprise us! DISH Network's technology systems far outpace those provided by any other cable TV company out there! From High Definition to DVR (and HD DVR, for that matter), from DISH Online to Video on Demand, and all the way to TV Everywhere, there's literally something to whet anyone's inner-gadget-fan appetite!
DISH Network offers more HDTV channels than nearly every provider. With hundreds of HD channel options, ranging from your local stations to premium movies and all the way to 1080p pay-per-view (PPV) movies, you'll never get tired of watching your DISH Network service in sparking High Definition! Don't forget that DISH Network HD is Free for Life!
DISH Network DVR systems are the talk of the industry. Pause live TV, record the big game, easily set your system to record your favorite shows for the whole season - it's simple! DISH offers a special patented technology, the dual tuner receiver, which allows one receiver box to service two different rooms - each being able to watch and record their own programming independently. The best part is that the DVR library is shared between the two rooms! You can start watching your favorite cable TV show in your living room, pause it and go finish watching the show in your bedroom. It's so easy! This is all possible with the DISH Network HD DVR (ViP 722) and the DISH Network standard DVR (625). The 722 receiver has up to 300 hours of record time, and the 625 receiver has up to 150. Plus, all ViP series receivers can have their record time upgraded by attaching an external hard drive…with no upgrade charge! Both receivers are FREE today!
The DISH Network 722 HD/DVR also allows you to connect your high speed internet (via Ethernet cable) and allow you to have Remote Access! With Remote Access, you can program your DISH DVR and have full control of your receiver without being in the same room! Forget to record the big game tonight? No problem! Just go to the DISH Network Remote Access site or your DISH Network mobile phone app (available on iPhone and Android), and you're a few clicks away from setting everything up! Show me a cable TV provider that gives you this outstanding feature included with any package!
Ready to take your technology to the next level? Watching your TV at home is great, but what if you could take it anywhere…or everywhere?!? Thanks to Sling technology, DISH Network offers customers that ability. Gone from home on a business trip or vacation? Just log onto your DISH Network account through the web or your supported mobile device (iPhone and Android) and you can start watching your home TV! You can view live programs, previously recorded DVR content, or even items from Video on Demand. Quite simply, it's the most innovative technology on the market! This feature is built into the ViP 922 HD/DVR and may be added onto a ViP 722 HD/DVR with the addition of a Sling Adapter (which is currently FREE for new customers)! We'll direct TV to you, everywhere you are!
As if all of these great features weren't enough, DISH Network also offers DISH Online. DISH Online is an innovative new service that provides subscribers access to a select library that includes thousands of movies and TV shows. DISH customers simply log into www.dishonline.com and you get access to all of your regularly subscribed content. This is included with each DISH Network subscription! New customers also get a three month subscription to Blockbuster's video library, which includes tens of thousands of movies and shows…just for you!
