If you are like me and have recently moved, or are like thousands of Americans who are not satisfied with their current television provider, you have probably looked into the possibility of getting satellite TV. And why not. You've probably heard great things about the picture, the sound and the overall experience from satellite television. There are a lot of reasons to choose satellite TV over cable, and DISH Network over all the satellite providers, which you should be aware of if you are asking yourself, "Should I get satellite TV?"
Availability
Have you ever had to call and check to see if the service you were interested in getting was available in your area? Have you ever found out it wasn't? There is only one requirement for you to be able to get DISH TV, and that is a clear view of the southern sky. That's it. DISH doesn't have to take a tap off of any previous existing network of cables, lay new cables or any of that expensive installation that sneaks into your sign up price. With fast, easy and often free installation, DISH Network is clearly the best.
Programming
One aspect that further sets DISH Network apart from cable providers as well as other satellite TV providers is choice. DISH Network packages are various and each one is put together to meet a different set of entertainment needs and budgets. And talk about flexibility you won't find elsewhere; Dish will actually let you build your own package so you get all the channels and premium options that interest you. Won't that streamline channel surfing! And in addition to all of this, DISH is now offering HD free for life!
Service
No matter what the product or provider, eventually you are going to have to interact with a service department. Cable companies believe themselves to be so ubiquitous that they don't need to invest in customer satisfaction. If you have ever waited on the phone for an answer or in line for hours to return equipment or question your bill, you know this is true. Of all the cable and satellite tv providers, DISH Network is consistently ranked #1.
Price
This is really the bottom line of the question isn't it. Without even taking into account the larger availability, the more diverse channel lineups and the superior service, DISH Network is comparably priced. And if add all those factors, like more package options, HD programming and advanced equipment, into the equation you will see that DISH Network is a much greater value for your entertainment dollar than cable or other satellite TV providers.
My investigation into whether I should get satellite TV not only led to the emphatic answer, YES!, but to the clear choice that DISH Network has the best deals on digital TV programming.
