DISH Network - About Satellite Television Service

Satellite Television

Consumers now have a wide range of options to bring entertainment into their homes through their television screens. For many years, cable was the preferred provider for many homes in America. In the past fifteen years, satellite services have become more and more popular. Now with more than twenty million subscribers and thousands more signing on each month, satellite service is the top choice for many consumers.

Setting up a satellite system in your home can be very easy and inexpensive with the great promotional offers through the top satellite providers. To introduce satellite service to your home, you will need to install a small satellite dish with exposure to the southern sky. Inside your home, a receiver can be connected to each television set to deliver exceptional quality in picture and a wide range of channels. Many have the misconception that with a satellite system, everyone in the house must watch the same channels. That is no longer than the case. With a receiver in each room, every person in your family will have their choice of programming on each television.

Satellite service has become more reliable over the years. There is no longer the threat of losing your signal often during thunderstorms or other weather situations. You will be able to continue to enjoy your satellite service whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring down. Perhaps the most common misconception is that satellite prevents you from being able to welcome local channels into your home. The top satellite providers now provide access to local channels in most markets at no additional charge. There’s no need to trade your local news for the broad offerings of entertainment through satellite services – now you can have them both.

Many consumers choose satellite service not only for the exceptional quality but for the great value. Compared to cable television, satellite services offer more channels of entertainment for your hard earned dollars. In addition, there are a variety of packages offered to meet the needs of your family. Even small packages often offer more than 100 channels. Satellite services offer the ability to customize your service to the viewing habits of your family. Additional packages include extensive sports, music and movie channels. You can subscribe to as little or as many as you would like to provide entertainment to your entire household.

In the United States, satellite services are available through two providers – DISH Network and DIRECTV.

Both services provide excellent customer service and quality digital signals resulting in an excellent picture. Unlike with cable companies, DISH Network and DIRECTV both offer continuous specials that make their service even more attractive to their growing customer base.
