Features of Dish Network
Posted: March 2009
You probably know that you can get television channels with Dish Network. But are you aware of what else you can get? DISH Network now provides its customers with all the same features as cable, like pay-per-view programming, DISH on Demand, and local channels. However, what makes DISH Network special is what it offers in addition to traditional programming options.
For example, did you know that DISH Network offers on-screen caller ID? With on-screen caller ID, you won't have to jump up during your favorite program to answer the phone only to discover it's that annoying telemarketing call you have been avoiding. DISH Network also some unique programming like BabyFirstTV, the first and only channel that offers 24/7 commercial-free programs dedicated to babies and toddlers.
As if that wasn't enough, DISH network offers a multitude of other options such as DVR technology, high-definition television, and more. How much more? Continue reading to discover more about the many options available to DISH Network customers.
DVR Technology
Many DISH networks receivers have Digital Video Recording (DVR) technology built in. DVR allows you to pause and replay live programming as well as record programs you want to watch later. DISH Network even offers receivers that have two tuners. This gives customers the ability to watch separate programming on two televisions or record two shows simultaneously while watching a third recorded program.
High-Definition Television
Just as DVDs are a step above VHS, high-definition television (HDTV) is a step above digital TV and two steps above regular analog television. For a comparison, the lowest quality digital format is equal to the highest quality an analog TV can display and HDTV is the highest standard of digital formatting. DISH Network offers several HDTV receivers, both with and without DVR ability.
Interactive TV
DISH Network will make your TV set more interactive than ever before. Customer Support, news, weather, games, sports, and shopping are just a few of the interactive features available through DISH Network.
DISH Network also offers all sorts of games: action, adventure, sports, casino, puzzle, board, trivia, strategy and more. It also offers a karaoke channel with an interactive application that gives customers the opportunity to practice for the next American Idol© tryouts. DISH Network also offers Zap2it!, which will provide you with the latest movie listings, including reviews, local show times and locations, plus other daily news features and programming reviews for your favorite TV shows, movies and sports.
Speaking of sports, DISH Network not only provides you with the latest sporting news. It also provides customers the ability to participate in Speed Fantasy Stock Car Racing, TVG Horse Race Wagering, and other fantasy sports.
High Speed Internet
DISH Network also offers high-speed internet. As a DISH Network customer, you will have some of the major DSL providers readily available at a special DISH Network price. Plus, DSL is usually cheaper than cable and easy to install. So easy, you can do it yourself.
SIRUS Music
Have you been wanting to get satellite radio, but haven't wanted to spend the money on a receiver? With DISH Network, there is no need. SIRUS Music has teamed up with DISH Network. With SIRUS, you get sixty channels of commercial-free music around-the-clock.
Pocket DISH
Don't feel you will be home enough to enjoy DISH Network? That won't be a problem if you invest in Pocket DISH. Pocket DISH is a video, music, game, and photo device small enough to fit into your pocket. It allows you to transfer up to twenty hours of programming from your DISH Network DVR receiver and enjoy them no matter where you are. Plus, it will allow you to carry up to 10,000 music files (MP3, WMA, or WAV) and store up to 200,000 photos. But the best feature about the Pocket DISH is the price—it cost about the same as most quality MP3 players.
If all this isn't enough to convince you to consider DISH Network, the price will. Basic programming starts at less than twenty dollars a month. Of course, as you add features, you add cost. But DISH Network allows its customers to choose which options they want. That way, you won't be paying for the ones you don't use. Sure, DISH Network isn't for everyone—some people are perfectly happy with their passive televisions. Happy, that is, until they discover what they have been missing.
