When you compare Dish Network with other television service providers, both satellite and cable, it becomes clear that Dish Network does a better job at delivering more programming than anyone else and at a lower cost.
The best example of this is High Definition Television. High Definition Television, also known as HDTV for short, is widely regarded as the future of television. It's already very popular in Japan and is poised to take off in the United States over the next three years. You can instantly tell the difference between it and standard definition television by the fact that it has a wider viewing area by about thirty percent, and a much higher resolution for a clearer more detailed picture. Because of the wider viewing area and higher resolution, High Definition television is much more data intensive than standard definition television which presents certain problems for transmitting it. Most cable TV systems can only provide one or two channels of it. Other satellite providers only offer about twenty HDTV channels, but High Definition Television is a breeze for Dish Network. Dish Network offers twenty five channels in High Definition- more than any of the competition- and that's just in the entry level Bronze package. Once you get up to the Platinum package, you can have twenty nine High Definition channels along with two hundred and forty standard definition ones! No cable provider can provide this many channels in standard definition, let alone with some of them in High Definition!
Even if you're not ready to take the leap into the world of High Definition Television, Dish Network can still give you plenty of options with standard definition programming. Dish Network provides programming packages designed for economy, maximum selection, and everything in between. Dish Family has forty channels including Angel One, Food Network, Animal Planet, TV Land, and Discovery Kids. It's designed to keep families entertained and connected to the outside world while saving them money. America's Everything Pak has one hundred and eighty of America's favorite channels plus movie packages from HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and Starz, for a total of two hundred and ten channels.
Most households will want one of the packages that fall in between the two extremes of Dish Family and America's Everything Pak. America's Top 60 Entertainment Package provides sixty channels of movies, sports, news, cartoons, comedy, educational programming, as well as channels dedicated specifically to the needs of men, women, and children respectively. America's Top 120 Entertainment Package adds sixty more channels to America's Top 60 Entertainment Package. America's Top 180 Entertainment Package adds another sixty channels. If you decide to get America's Top 180 Entertainment Package, you should have plenty of channels to meet the entertainment needs and appeal to the interests of everyone in your family.
Dish Network also offers entertainment packages with mixtures channels in Spanish and English for Hispanic and bilingual households. Dish Latino Basic offers thirty channels for Spanish speakers, while all of the other Dish Latino packages provide combinations of channels in Spanish and English. Dish Latino packages are a source of entertainment, but also a great way to learn either Spanish or English.
If you want even more choices, Dish Network has sports, foreign language, and local programming that can be added to any entertainment package to customize it for your needs. With all of these great choices, there's no reason not to go with Dish Network right away!
