DISH Network Explained

DISH Network is the 3rd largest paid TV company in America and the 2nd largest satellite TV company. Based out of Colorado, their service can be purchased almost anywhere in the country.

Satellite is different from cable, which has more regional networks. DISH Network has almost nationwide availability. You just need the ability to hook up a satellite dish to your home or apartment.

DISH offers one of the best programming options out of any TV provider. They have over 330 satellite channels. This includes local broadcast, sports, regional sports, general and special interest, and international. A large majority of these channels are in HD, which you get for free with a 2-year agreement.

In addition to satellite TV, there are also tons of pay-per-view movies (including Hollywood Blockbusters before they even hit DVD), streaming shows that you can download to your mobile device, and Sirius XM radio.
