Dish Network Special Offers

Dish Network is well known for delivering an incredible number of great television channels for an excellent value, but that isn't the single thing that outlines this first class satellite TV company. Dish Network can also supply you with new and inventive ways to watch television. In fact, you could thing this company invented the idea of innovation because of all the things that it has done to make satellite TV better than ever before!

One recent invention that Dish Network has come up with is the PocketDish. The PocketDish is a battery powered device which has a built in color LCD screen and a tough drive. It can be employed to play videos and music as well as serve as a digital photograph album and Nintendo game platform. What really makes the PocketDish innovative though is the capability of this device to use Dish Network DVRs as sources of video! That's because it has software that may be used to download video from the hard drive of a DVR onto its own drive for later playback! This has tremendous applications in terms of allowing the user to better milk down time during the day by trying it to observe television. For instance, if you've have a train or bus ride during your commute or you are stuck in line at the DMV, just whip out the PocketDish and what was a boring wait becomes a chance to catch up on telly that you have been missing due to your busy schedule! Best of all, once you have the PocketDish, the DVR, and the Dish Network subscription ; downloading the videos to the PocketDish costs nothing extra!

Another innovation that comes from Dish Network is Dish On Demand. Video on demand is a major invention for the way forward for the way that we will be watching TV! That is because it makes it possible to watch something whenever you want. The thing about satellite television though is that it doesn't lend itself well to film on demand because of the proven fact that it broadcasts signals to all of the customers all at once and isn't set up for an individual stream of video to any one shopper at a time. Dish Network has found the way around this limitation though. Instead of delivering a video to every individual subscriber who asks for it, Dish Network transmits a collection of videos to all of its subscribers at the same time so that those videos can be stored on individual subscribers' DVRs. With Dish On Demand content residing on a hidden part of the DVR hard disk, the subscriber just has to select an available program, pay for it, and straight away start watching it as though it was being delivered directly over the satellite signal! This also has an advantage of making Dish On Demand more of a video rental service than a common pay per view service!

Dish Network has also been cutting edge in the implementation of its HDTV channels! HDTV provides a better method of watching TV by giving everything the sharp, wide screen picture of a commercial film theater and the sound quality to go with it. This satellite television company is unique in that it not only provides more HDTV channels than anyone else ( well over 100 ), but it can also provide them in stand alone form so that you can get HDTV without troubling with normal TV channels! Additionally, it provides some Dish On Demand pictures in 1080p resolution when each other service supplier is limited to 1080i resolution.

Dish Network is the clear choice for anyone that appreciates innovation! - 32611
