We have been enjoying satellite broadcasting for the past couple of months, when I say enjoying it is not to brag or to be exaggerated. Years ago, we made the conscience decision to eliminate our cable account and downgrade to on-air TV. When we were presented with the opportunity to receive complimentary Dish Network service we were beyond thrilled, cable & satellite services have evolved since we were subscribers & it was time to see what has changed.
First off, Dish Network has many features that we had no idea even existed, more on that later. If you are not familiar with Dish Network here is a bit about the company overview…
DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH), through its subsidiary DISH Network L.L.C., provides approximately 14.014 million satellite TV customers, as of June 30, 2013, with the highest quality programming and technology with the most choices at the best value, including HD Free for Life®. Subscribers enjoy the largest high definition line-up with more than 200 national HD channels, the most international channels, and award-winning HD and DVR technology. DISH Network Corporation’s subsidiary, Blockbuster L.L.C., delivers family entertainment to millions of customers around the world. DISH Network Corporation is a Fortune 200 company.
Our installation was quick & easy and our installation tech was super helpful showing us some of the main features Dish Network offers, such as the channel guide, the HD DVR, video on demand and more. One thing I was very impressed with is that Dish Network offers a FREE High-Definition DVR with all of their packages, including basic. Another feature that I like is that you can actually access Live TV, your movies, your shows, set recording time for your shows all from your iPad or Cell phone. Dish Network channel line up offer something for the entire family, if you are Latino you can enjoy your Tele-Novelas, comedies, Latin-American channels, and even sports from the entire world in Spanish.

On Demand is one of my favorite features from Dish Network, I love that we have access to over 3000 movies, TV shows, comedies, & more! Another feature I like is the search feature where I can search by title, actor, channel and more, as I type the hopper finds my show, movie whatever and I can set it to record from the same screen.
