Dish Network - Satellite - Common Myths & Misconceptions
As with all technology, there are always common myths and
misconceptions that prevent many people from experiencing that,
which would drastically improve their lives. This is true with
Dish Network's digital high definition satellite television
services.
Many people think that even though there may be 4 different
receivers in 4 different rooms, everyone has to watch the same
programming. This is not true. Dish Network offers 4 free
receivers, one each for 4 different rooms, to enable different
viewing interests.
The weather - it consistently affects the quality of
programming. As a general rule, this is false; however, if there
is heavy and consistent storming, there may be brief
interruptions of reception. This is rare and is considered less
of a problem to satellite subscribers.
Satellite reception is available only for individual homes. This
is another myth as reception if signaling is excellent in
apartment complexes as long as the dish is installed facing a
southern sky. Many people have them located on their balconies
or outside walls. Always remember, though, if you don't own the
apartment or home, be sure to check with the landlord before
installation.
High-speed Internet service is only available through cable
companies. This is not true. Dish Network offers high-speed
Internet service via satellite. Location is not a problem as
signals are transmitted through space from Dish Network's
satellites. You will not experience down time from server
problems because of weather or maintenance. Rumor has it that
cable companies tell prospective subscribers that their pricing
is cheaper than that of satellite programming. This is not true.
Comparisons reveal that satellite prices are within the same
range and sometimes lower than cable providers with much more
value per dollar. The increased availability of diverse
programming in selections and the quality of imaging and sound
make the difference giving you more for less money. Click on

pricing information. Cable providers would also have customers
believe that customers must purchase all equipment to receive
satellite services. Again, this is not true. Dish Network offers
all equipment and installation free of charge, and even gifts
new subscribers with a Dish Network Digital Video Recorder -
further enhancing viewing pleasure. All free with no requirement
for long-term commitments. The only item you are charged for is
the programming you desire. A lot of people think that because
of the advanced technology utilized in Dish Network's digital
high definition satellite services; there would naturally be
expensive equipment repairs at some point in time. While the
nature of the expense of equipment repairs may be true, be
assured that when you subscribe with Dish Network for an
18-month plan, you receive Dish Home Protection Plan free
(regularly $5.99 per month). This is more or less an equipment
insurance provided by Dish Network to save subscribers money in
repairs and replacements of equipment. It is hoped that this
information will dispel any misunderstands you may have head and
enable you to make a positive decision to switch from cable
television services to Dish Network digital high definition
satellite television services.
