Dish Network a Winner

Jan 11 '00



When it comes to cable television or digital satellite systems most people really don't know much. They make there choices by who is offering the best deal at the lowest cost but often don't do good research. After purchasing my first home I also was faced with this decision. There are lots of choices, most of which people will go on by what they hear. Everyone has heard of Sony USSB and Direct TV from RCA and Hughes DSS, but not many of ECHOSTAR or Dish Network who are sister companies.
Now you might ask what makes Dish Network and Echostar so different. Well alot actually. To start out the other satellite companies are all linked together using two orbiting satellites and all offer similar programming, their prices are within a few dollars of each other as well. Dish and Echostar now have four satellites and will have six by the end of this year. What really seperates them is the quality of programming and the price for programming but the rebate which is within a couple dollars of the total system price. If the cost of the system was $249.00 before tax that is the amount of the rebate. Also if you get you system during a promotion you can get either custom installation or a self-installation kit for free. Thats right FREE !! The Dish Top 100 CD, has the same basic programming as the others but when you start adding premium channels thats when the savings begin. You could have the Top 100 CD plus 18 movie channels for under $60 a month, you'd comparatively pay $90 or more through the other systems. After one year of ownership you will also be able to recieve free upgrades like new dishes or recievers. Customer support 24/7 365 days a year as well, that is very friendly, courteous and helpful.
If you sincerely shop around you'll find you can't lose with this service and you'll thank yourself for it later while your kicked back relaxing watching great movies and other family programming!
