Dish Network Offers Appealing Programming Choices

From its founding in 1996, Dish Network has launched many groundbreaking improvements in television technology and set itself apart from other television providers with its commitment to innovation and customer service.  Over the course of the company's existence, Dish Network has helped bring advancements to the world of television technology that have helped everyone who watches television, not just Dishnetwork subscribers.  For example,  Dish Network was the first company to offer over 500 channels with their 1999 unveiling of the DISH 500.  And, a couple months later, Dishnetwork released the first HDTV satellite receiver.  In 2004, the company hit another first, by being the first satellite provider to offer local channels in every American state.  With the more recent achievements of bringing PocketDishes to the market, and becoming the television service provider with the largest HD programming packages currently available, Dish Network has proved that it is committed to bringing the best television service to its customers.  What all these years of advancements mean to you, is that you will find an incredible wealth of programming choices and equipment options available to you. 

Unlike many other companies, Dish Network offers a large array of base programming packages so you can choose exactly the level of service and programming that is right for you.  You will not have to pay for more programming than you want, nor will you be limited to fewer channels than you are looking for.  Dish Network's programming starts with the value-priced DishFamily, a 40 channel package that is especially appealing for families with young children.  While adults will find plenty of appealing programs like Hallmark Movie, CSPAN, Angel One, and Food Network, many of the channels, like Discovery Kids, Nicktoons, and Animal Planet, are especially appealing to children.  If you want a budget-minded package that offers a larger selection for the teen and above crowd, the America's Top 60 might be the perfect match.  This package still has channels like Disney, Nickelodeon, and ABC Family Channel for the kids, but channels like A&E, Comedy Central, MTV, USA, Lifetime, The Men's Channel, and ESPN will provide plenty of entertainment for the rest of the family.  Of course, since Dish Network packages cost so much less than cable, you might want to use some of the savings to subscribe to one of the larger packages, like the Top 120.  Along with double the number of channels of the Top 60, you'll find appealing extras like your regional sports network and Sirius radio.  And, for an even larger selection that includes channels like Bloomberg TV, Encore movies, and the Fox Movie Channel, the Top 180 is a great choice. 

As appealing as the base packages are Dishnetwork's pay per view and additional programming options.  Selections include seasonal sports programming for access to sports like hockey, baseball, and basketball, international programming, premium movie channels, and certain individual channels.  Dish on Demand lets you choose from a library of movies to watch at your convenience, and other pay per view includes special events, movies, and adult entertainment. 

Of course, in addition to the appeal of the many programming choices, many people subscribe to Dish Network to experience the advanced technology available.  Dishnetwork has made tons of progress in bringing the joys of HDTV programming to your screen.  Currently you can choose from 4 HD programming packages that offer over 200 hours of HD broadcasts every day.  And, Dish Network receivers can offer all the latest advances like HDTV capabilities, DVRs, dual tuners, parental controls, interactive capabilities, and electronic program guides. 

With a strong history of innovation and service, you can trust Dish Network to continue to bring the best television to your home.
