DISH Network HDTV

First there was analog TV, also known as over-the-air TV. The picture was grainy and prone to white specks and double images, but at least you had a picture. Then along came digital TV which used a totally different broadcast system to produce a sharper, clearer picture. And now we have HDTV with a picture so clear you feel like you're part of the scene.

HDTV really does produce a near-lifelike picture, and when you couple it with surround sound audio, you get an amazing TV viewing experience.

DISH Network has nearly 100 HD channels, however in order to view them you must have an HD compatible TV and an HD receiver. The good news is DISH Network will give you a free HD receiver when you sign up for their satellite TV service.
