Dish Network is a direct broadcast satellite (DBS) service that broadcasts satellite television and audio to households in the U.S. Dish Network is owned by Echostar and was first launched back in March of 1996. Dish Network is DirecTV’s number one rival and primary competitor within the U.S. for satellite programming.

In 1996 when Dish Network was originally created they used an 18-ince satellite dish called Dish 300 that allowed satellite subscribers to receive a satellite signal from one satellite location. Currently, Dish Network employs 20-inch satellite dishes called the Dish 500. The Dish 500 allows satellite subscribers to receive satellite signals from two different


satellite locations simultaneously.

Most recently, a slightly larger satellite dish (36-inchesx20-inches) referred to as “Super Dish) are being introduced to the satellite market with the capacity to receive satellite signals from three different satellite locations simultaneously. Both the Dish 500 and the Super Dish are dominating the satellite industry as Dish Network is attempting to allow more programming on their expanding satellite systems. This is particularly popular through local, national American television networks and foreign programming.

Simply put, Dish Network is the giant of satellite providers within the satellite industry. The simple fact of the matter is Dish Network is a step above the rest! If you are looking to save some money while not sacrificing your favorite channels and programs, while also receiving reliable TV watching all the time -then Dish Network is exactly what you need!
