A Short Introduction To DISH Network

So you are looking for quality satellite TV entertainment? There are two main satellite TV providers in the US, DirecTV and Dish Network. DirecTV has larger market share but in this article we will focus on Dish Network because we believe that Dish Network provides better value for money currently.

Dish Network® (Nasdaq:DISH) has more than 13 million satellite TV customers (April 2009 estimate) and is the second largest provider of advanced digital TV services in the US. DISH Network's services include hundreds of audio and video channels, DISH On Demand, Pay-Per-View, Interactive TV, High Definition TV, sports and International programming. They also have free Standard Professional Installation and 24-hour customer service. DISH Network is a Fortune 500 company so it is likely to be around in future.

Dish Network service is offered all over the US including Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Alaska. Outside the continental United States a larger dish will normally be needed to receive a clear signal. The size of the dish may range from 24-inches to a 1.5 meter dish depending on the location.

Dish Network has a large number of packages matching all kinds of viewing needs. Some examples are:

Standard-Definition Packages:

DishFamily: Over 50 channels of low-priced, family-friendly programming.
Classic Bronze 100: Over 100 channels
Classic Bronze 100+: Over 100 channels. Including Local Channels plus Regional Sports Network(s)

Dish Network offers free Professional Installation by qualified technicians and can be installed within 24 hours. You have the choice of getting up to 4 rooms connected at no extra charge. Each room will get its own DVR high definition box allowing different channels to be viewed at the same time in different rooms.

Dish Network Pay-Per-View offers movies and events in high definition. In order to view HD programs, you must have an high definition television in addition to an HD capable satellite receiver and a DISH 500 antenna. Pay-Per-View movies can be ordered by following means: Online, Telephone Automated System, Customer Service and Mobile Service.

Ordering online is one of most popular ways to order Pay–Per–View movies and events. It works exactly the same as the Telephone Automated System except you do not have to call in. The movie or event that you order will be broadcast to all satellite receivers in your home.

The Telephone Automated System is designed for customers who are unable to have their satellite receiver consistently connected to a phone line, but do not move around. There is an extra charge per transaction with this option, which is added on to your bill.

You can call Customer Support Center and a representative can order a Pay–Per–View for you. There is an additional for ordering a Pay–Per–View (sports packages are excluded) through a representative.

Mobile Service is for people on the go, such as truck drivers and RV owners. You can order up to nine movies before your smart card becomes full. Once your smart card becomes full you will need to connect your receiver to a phone line in order to clear the purchases. This service incurs an annual charge (not available monthly), and is only available on one receiver per account.

The options described above should enable you to choose a package with ad-ons in order to satisfy your viewing needs.

HD TV Equipment

To get the best from your HD viewing experience, it's recommended to incorporate the latest HD TV equipment including HD capable TV's, HD set top boxes, the latest in surround sound and of course the appropriate HD TV cabling to connect it all together.

HD televisions come in a range of flavours and it is important to select one that is both future proof and suits your budget. When selecting your HD television, ensure it is capable of displaying standard definition, 720p and 1080i high definition formats. It is also worth while asking if the HD television in question is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compatible. If the technology is too much for you, just look for the 'HD Tick' - This is the easiest way to tell if your television is true HD. The 'HD Tick' logo is an initiative of the Australian Digital Suppliers Industry Forum and may only be applied to televisions with specific criteria.

Do you own a gaming console? If so, you should enquire as to how many HDMI inputs it has. The HDMI inputs allows for high definition game play. Look for a high definition television that has more than one HDMI input to save you needing to change cords just to play your games.

An important part of your HD TV Equipment checklist is to incorporate the latest in surround sound technology. Lots of HD TV programs are also recorded with cinema-style surround sound, so it is certainly wise to invest in surround sound. There are several ways to connect your surround sound system to the rest of your HD TV equipment; HDMI, Optical, Digital Coax and RCA Analog. By far the easiest way to connect your surround sound system is by HDMI. HDMI also provides the best quality signal to ensure you get the best from your HD TV broadcasts.

Connecting all your HD TV equipment together is important in getting the best from your investment. The following connectors can all be used, some with better results than the rest:

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable

An HDMI cable is the simplest and best way to connect to your HD TV. Most HD TVs have an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) connector which can be used to connect devices like your HD set-top box. HDMI offers crisp, clear all-digital video and analogue audio in a single cable

DVI (Digital Video Interface) cable

Some HD TVs have a DVI (Digital Video Interface) connector instead of an HDMI connector. A DVI cable carries only picture information and not sound - so you'll need a separate audio connection. In some cases you can use an adapter to connect this to the HDMI connector on your HD device.

Component Video cable

Component video is basically a transmission of three separate colour signals to represent all possible colours - no sound is carried on these cables. If you're using component video, make sure you have the cables properly matched to the colour coded jacks.

S-Video cable

S-Video is a mid-level signal format that is not capable of carrying HD signals to HD Television.

Composite Video cable

Composite video cable will provide the lowest resolution quality from your output device (DVD, VCR, cable box) to your TV and will not support a HD signal to your HD TV.

Invest in quality HD TV equipment including HD TV televisions, the latest in HD TV set top boxes and surround sound that can easily be connected to your HD TV components. You won't be sorry and your leisure time will be thrust into the High Definition digital future with new levels of entertainment immersion.
