Dishnetwork Special

By Celia Westbury

HDTV has been around for a bit now and you could be thinking that it's time for your family to take advantage of it. You may be wondering how best to do that though. After all , there are a lot of places that you can get HDTV programming these days- over the air, cable TV, satellite TV, video disc, and even the Internet! However , nobody does a better job of providing HDTV programming than Dish Network!

Dish Network has long been committed to providing the best possible HDTV experience together with the most high def channels. Now though, Dish Network has locked down its role at the HDTV leader with the roll out of its Turbo HD service this past summer! Turbo HD is the premium HDTV service with the most total HDTV channels available today- well over 100 national HDTV channels and countless local high def channels!

Turbo HD presents its HDTV channels in the form of packages of varying sizes. These packages can be added onto standard definition Dish Network entertainment packages. the really inventive thing about Turbo HD packages ( besides their size ) is the proven fact that you can sign up for them without subscribing to a typical def package! This is important thanks to the fact that, at some point, HDTV will replace standard definition as the format of preference and when that happens all HDTV packages will be common. Dish Network has made that happen right now through Turbo HD!

Another very innovative thing that Dish Network has done with HDTV is make it available in 1080p resolution! 1080p is the highest resolution that's's currently supported by commercial HDTV sets and some sets max out at 1080i or as low as 720p. More to the point, most television service providers can't deliver HDTV in anything greater than 1080i resolution. Dish Network is the exception to that though with its ability to offer pictures in 1080p through Dish On Demand! This makes the pay per view experience of Dish On Demand that much better and that much more like attending a real film theater!

Dish Network also enhances its HDTV capabilities by providing high end HD DVRs as a discretionary feature. A DVR is a device that may record video without delay off of the satellite signal and store it on an inbuilt drive. An HD DVR does a similar thing, but with HDTV and standard def television content alike! The HD DVR units that this company offers are very electrifying in terms of the quantity of video that they can store. The higher end models can store upwards of 50 hours of HDTV content and as much as three hundred and fifty hours of standard definition video! On top of that, it's possible to use external USB hard drives for nearly limitless storage capacity!

Naturally, Dish Network still offers a large amount of standard definition entertainment too. In fact, it still provides its subscribers with the choice of signing up for countless standard def entertainment packages that range between economy packages to luxury packages! These packages will still be available for some time and can be customized to meet your wishes whether you go high def or not!

Dish Network is definitely the definitive source of all types of TV- including the innovative new HDTV! - 29890
