New Dish Network Deals

In today’s economy, consumers are looking for every way possible to stretch their dollar. One area you may want to consider is your cable television bill, as rates continue to rise in this industry. One choice to look at is satellite TV, specifically either Direct TV or Dish Network and the options they offer today.

Dish Network is the second largest satellite TV company, with nearly 14 million subscribers. Because of the heated competition in the pay television market, Dish Network offers great deals to new customers, in the hopes that they will become a long-time subscriber.

So where should you search to find the best satellite TV specials? The world wide web of course is a great place to begin researching satellite TV specials. At this time, Dish Network is offering a special deal which can get you started with satellite television for just 9.99 per month. Now the customer should be aware that this is a promotional price on the Classic 100 bundle, which is regularly priced at 34.99 per month. In addition, local channels are not included in this price, so expect to pay an additional $5 or so for local programming.

Now many consumers today are in the market for an all-inclusive satellite television bundle? The item that would fit the bill in this case would be the America’s Everything Pak, which is offered at a promotional price of $72.98 for six months, and $97.98 per month after that. Included here is every cable television channel you can think of , including 31 premium movie channels like Showtime. Another great option is the Dish Network Classic Silver package, offered at around $50 per month, with a $25 discount for the first six months of service.

Another great thing about satellite TV is that most of the equipment is provided at no charge. From the satellite dish to the HD DVR, Dish Network will set you up. Generally, you will only incur upfront costs if you desire to have multiple DVR units. In addition, the satellite TV installation process is easy as well, offering free installation in up to four rooms in your home.

Why not check out the Dish TV deals available and compare them with what you currently pay for cable TV. Odds are you will be surprised at how much cheaper satellite TV costs.

Turbo HD By DISH Network Now Available

Satellite TV provider DISH Network just released new programming packages called Turbo HD. These packages are all hi definition, removing of the standard definition channels. Is this new satellite television the best choice for you?

It all depends on what your looking for from your cable or satellite TV company. Some folks want every single channel that is available. They don’t care if 15 of them are 24 hour shopping channels, or that five of the channels are public access. They just want all of the channels.

On the other hand, many have become weary of trying to wade through all of the junk on the television dial, trying to find something worthwhile to watch. For consumers who have recently bought a new flat-screen TV, TurboHD from DISH Network may be the perfect solution.

There are three different choices with Turbo HD from DISH Network, the Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels. All of these packages are made up of hi definition channels only. Packages start at about $24.99 per month for the Bronze package. That package, however, does not include your local channels like ABC and Fox, which cost $5 more per month.

DISH Network also has the Platinum level, which is an add-on service to any of the other TurboHD levels. The Platinum level is $10 per month, and adds on seven more hi def channels such as NBA TV and Universal HD.

One sticking point with some current DISH Network customers is they have not been allowed to switch over to the TurboHD packages, even though they are cheaper. Currently only new subscribers to DISH Network have been allowed to get the TurboHD only bundles. Current customers can get DISH TurboHD, but only as an add-on to the SD package.

A final consideration you should know about is how DISH Network is numbering the networks included in the packages. Take for example the Turbo HD Bronze setup which includes 44 channels, of which 24 are network channels, six are pay-per-view, and 14 are VOD, (video on demand) channels. For some, that number would be adequate many are accustomed to having quite a bit more content to choose from. A final consideration, the Turbo HD packages do not include premium movie channels like HBO or Cinemax, so expect to pay an additional fee monthly for commercial free channels like that.
