Dish Network Special

By Celia Westbury

Dish Network is famous for delivering an amazing number of great television channels for a great value, but that isn't the single thing that defines this first class satellite TV company. Dish Network can also provide you with new and cutting edge ways to watch television. In fact, you may thing this company invented the concept of invention due to all the things that it has done to make satellite TV better than ever before!

One fresh creativity 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 used 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 ability of this device to use Dish Network DVRs as sources of video! That is due to the fact that 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 incredible applications in terms of allowing the user to better take advantage of down time throughout the day by employing it to watch 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 an opportunity 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 creativity for the future of the way that we are going to be watching TV! That is because it makes it possible to watch something whenever you would like. The thing about satellite TV though is that it does not lend itself well to video on demand due to the proven fact that it broadcasts signals to all of the consumers all at the same time and isn't set up for an individual stream of video to any one customer at a time. Dish Network has found a way around this limitation though. Rather than delivering a video to every individual consumer who asks for it, Dish Network broadcasts a collection of videos to all of its consumers 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 consumer just has to pick an available program, pay for it, and immediately start watching it like it was being delivered directly over the satellite signal! This also has the advantage of making Dish On Demand more like a video rental service than a normal pay per view service!

Dish Network has also been cutting edge in the implementation of its HDTV channels! HDTV gives a better method of watching TV by giving everything the pointy, wide screen picture of a commercial flick 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 a hundred ), but it can also provide them in stand alone form so you can get HDTV without troubling with standard TV channels! In addition, it provides some Dish On Demand movies in 1080p resolution when each other service supplier is limited to 1080i resolution.

Dish Network is the clear choice for anyone that appreciates innovation! - 29890
