DISH Network Loves Comparisons

DISH Network loves comparisons because we know that DSS and Cable just can't measure up to all we have to offer - and nowhere is DISH Network's advantage more apparent than in proramming.

Better Programming at a Fair Price

DISH Network has known all along that customers buy a satellite TV system because they want better programming at a fair price.

Cable Can't Begin to Match Our Lineup

Cable can't begin to match our lineup of programming options. Fact is, Cable companies across the nation are shrinking the programming choices they offer to you by dropping channels like WGN, Lifetime, The History Channel just to name a few. That's assuming of course, they even carry these outstanding channels to start with. As far as price is concerned, they keep raising their already high rates every year while continuing to limit their basic programming packages.

America's TOP 100 CD Programming

America's TOP 100 CD programming package from DISH Network delivers over 50 of the most popular programming services in the country, including the Disney Channel. Additionally, our customers receive over 30 CD-qualty all-music channels.

DISH Network Excels in the Technological Arena

DISH Network excels in the technological arena, too. We have the only totally MPEG-2/DVB (worldwide standard of video excellence) compatible system on the market. And we've added a host of the latest, most requested features - many not available with any of the various DSS hardware suppliers.
