Dish Network is the most popular for satellite TV programming. When purchasing Dish Network TV system, you can get all the equipment you need for free. Getting this equipment for no cost is possible because Dish Network makes money only through their programming subscription fees. Programming packages from Dish Network that are meant for family viewing are very cheap - you can get 40 satellite television channels for as little as $20. Premium satellite TV packages are a bit more expensive. Other charges include a small activation fee, which is automatically refunded on your first bill. Not bad, considering the fact that you'll get a free equipment and installation. Some dealers, under certain conditions, don't even require a commitment for their service.
Dish Network's entry level package is called Dish Family. Other packages include America's Top 100, 200 or 250 channels. America's Everything Package is an expensive, but popular choice. These programming packages include 24-hour news channels, weather channels, music and movie channels, game shows and religious channels. This company offers Latino programming, international channels, pay-per-view, HD and local channels, as well as Sirius satellite radio channels.
Choosing a dealer for Dish Network is not easy. It is recommended that you select an authorized Dish Network dealer. Choose a dealer who is offering the equipment and upgrades such as a Digital Video Recorder for free, and who is offering next day installation, money-back guarantee and a lifetime warranty. Beware of satellite TV providers that have hidden service fees and very poor customer service.
