New Technology TV

Dish Network enjoys the benefits of being known as being the first in their industry for several award-winning, innovative products and services. Among these firsts are the MPEG4 receiver that was the first to offer a DVR that could broadcast in HDTV, the first company to offer Interactive Television and the first to offer HD 1080p programming. HD 1080p has been well received due to the sound and imaging enhancements that make it comparable to Blu Ray technology. Dish Network does not just offer the HD 1080p formatting; they actually designed it. There are other firsts claimed by Dish Network that have helped the first satellite TV provider in the United States gain and keep loyal customers in previous years.

Dish Network also offers creative programming packages that include specialized packages for sports fans or movie buffs. Multiple channels for sports and movies offer variety at prices that are generally cheaper than the rates charged by most cable TV providers, with free equipment and/or installation promotions offsetting the cost of signing up and getting started as a Dish Network subscriber. Dish Network programming also offers ethnic programming that includes familiar shows from native countries in native languages, offering programming for Hispanic, Chinese, Portuguese, French and Vietnamese communities, among others that are currently residing in the United States. This ethnic programming offers original shows in their original formatting to families that would otherwise have to read subtitles and watch unfamiliar programming. Dish Network also has a DISH Remote Access feature that gives subscribers remote access to their DVRs, or even multiple DVRs on one account. These programming packages come with the added benefit of Video on Demand and Pay Per View selections that add value to any package.

Dish Network is also known for being the only company in the Pay TV industry that offers over 150 HD channels. Dish Network customers can view their favorite programs, sports teams and music videos in High Definition detail.

With all of their award-winning products and services, it is not hard to imagine Dish Network providing service for households all over the United States. Recently, Dish Network passed a milestone in their company, making for another Dish Network first. For the first time ever, Dish Network now offers service for 14,000,000 households all over the nation. This milestone was passed after signing 150,000 new customers in the last quarter.

Dish Network executives and employees are proud of this accomplishment. Charlie Ergen is the President of Dish Network, as well as a Chairman and CEO. He had this to say concerning Dish Network’s passing a 14,000,000-customer milestone. “Surpassing 14 million subscribers is testimony to the strides we made over the past year in providing a best-in-class video experience.”

Dish Network is now 14,000,000 customers strong and growing. With this kind of innovative growth in products and services, Dish Network subscribers can look forward to continued growth and award-winning products and services that will offer the Dish Network packages and variety for years to come.
