DISH TV: A Pioneer in Providing Satellite TV

Nicknamed DISH TV for short, the DISH Network boasts many industry firsts. These firsts, coupled with excellent service and affordable prices, have placed them at the top of the ranks among satellite television providers.

The DISH Network is recognized as the first satellite TV provider to offer satellite receivers for less than $200, as well as the first network to offer local channels to markets in all 50 states. This broadened the audience for Satellite TV for the entire industry. They were also the first to offer a satellite receiver with built-in digital video recording for more convenient programming that viewers could pause and play. In terms of technological advances, DISH TV was first to offer high definition programming in 1080p and they're the only pay-TV provider to offer converter boxes for those affected by the digital transition between analogue and digital. They later came out with a converter box with DVR functionality as well.

At present, the DISH Network provides satellite TV to approximately 13.610 million subscribers, and counting. But not only does it have the highest number of subscribers, it also has the most number of HD channels and international channels in the US. These premium channels are the ones that really make it count. These include the various HBO channels which have something for everyone, multiple sports channels that focus on major professional sports in the US, and international channels from Africa to Vietnam, and more.

Basic DISH Network subscriptions can go for as low as $24.99 per month, for a year.
