what is dish tv??

Question

i only wanna know what a dish tv is and anything related to it.

Answer 1

It's a satellite television service that's pretty much the same as Direct TV. I have subscribed to this service for over 3 years now and am really happy with the options. In my opinion, each of the tv packages available offer more channels than DirecTV plus it costs less. They even have their own DVR service which is similar to Tivo that you've heard so much about. One interesting thing to note, not too long ago they offered a full package totally in Spanish for under $35 a month. (If anyone in your family speaks Spanish it might be worth considering.) I don't speak Spanish well enough to enjoy that but still it's a great deal.

Here's some other specifics about Dish from their own website:

Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. is a public company with approximately 20,000 employees. The Company and its subsidiaries deliver Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) television products and services to customers worldwide.

Throughout its 24-year history, EchoStar has demonstrated its entrepreneurial spirit by achieving significant industry firsts:
First company to offer a satellite receiver for less than $200


First to develop a UHF remote control


First to offer an Integrated Receiver Descrambler (IRD) for C-band satellite TV


First nationwide installation network dedicated solely to satellite TV systems


First to offer satellite receiver with built-in digital video recording


First Satellite TV company to offer local channels to local markets in all 50 states

HISTORY

EchoStar's story began in 1980 when Chairman and CEO, Charlie Ergen, entered the satellite television industry as a distributor of C-band TV systems. Joined by his wife, Candy, and friend, James DeFranco, EchoStar Communications Corporation was formed. Operations quickly expanded and the Company earned a reputation for innovation, while focusing on providing customers with state-of-the-art equipment, systems and service.

In 1987, EchoStar filed for a Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) license with the Federal Communications Commission and was granted access to orbital slot 119° West Longitude in 1992. The Company began its move toward providing its own DBS service on December 28, 1995, with the successful launch of EchoStar I. That same year, EchoStar established the DISH Network brand name.

EchoStar II, launched on September 10, 1996, expanded DISH Network's capacity. As EchoStar continued to acquire new orbital slots (61.5°, 148° and 110°), it added to its fleet of satellites. EchoStar III was sent into orbit on October 5, 1997. This was followed by the launch of EchoStar IV on May 8, 1998, and EchoStar V on September 23, 1999. On July 14, 2000, over 10,000 EchoStar employees worldwide gathered to celebrate the launch of EchoStar VI. Today, the nine satellites that make up the EchoStar fleet have the capacity to provide hundreds of channels of digital video, audio and data services via DISH Network service to homes, businesses and schools throughout the United States.
