Even Your Paper Deliverer Will Agree
DISH Network offers top-of-the-line technology and is moving forward everyday.
Cable offers the same, tired technology it did 3 decades ago.

Offers all channels in High-Quality Digital Format at no extra cost

DISH Network: Yes

Cable: No

DISH Network offers 100% digital audio/video on 100% of its channels. Meaning you receive the very best in programming and entertainment offered. Just like you deserve. With cable, no station below a three digit number (i.e. 4, 8, 9, 13) can be viewed in high resolution. Obviously, the choice is clear. With DISH Network you receive top quality technology and 100% digital audio/video. Cable offers none of this and leaves you craving more.

Equipment Upgrades and Service

"I used to have Cable, and always thought 'satellite' must cost so much more, but then i came to find with DISH Network that Cable is way over priced and cannot deliver half of what DISH Network can for less! Switch today, seriously!"
-Jorge


DISH Network:
Satellite TV sends the signal directly to your home via your dish/antenna. This allows for 100% digital signal, picture and sound, without interruption. No split signals equals better quality all around for all channels, at no additional cost. It's included! DISH Network offers numerous programming packages to fit your desires, you won't have "basic" and "ultimate" as your only two choices. You can add you favorite premium channels or sports, keep all the standard programs you love, and keep a reasonable monthly bill.

Cable:
See and hear the differences as the signal is dispursed and incomplete. These analog signals travel through millions of miles of cable even before reaching your TV. Cable takes back their equipment or over charges to compensate for their equipment. In short, cable is inferior in that it actually costs more and delivers much less. Cable companies count on uninformed consumers, that's the only way they can continue getting your business. With some information, a few facts, and a good grasp of the "DISH vs cable" discussion you are armed to make your own educated guess.


Offers the Most High Definition Channels


DISH Network: Dish offers 29 High Definition Channels

Cable: Offers 10-12 High Definition Channels

DISH Network:
The exquisite quality of DISH Network is accomplished through sincere customer dedication. DISH Network offers all channels in a high quality, 100% digital format. Digital satellite TV means no more loss or distortion. The picture is always pure and clean*. Looking for something even greater than 100% digital quality? You'll want High Definition TV (HD / HDTV). Also 100% digital quality, HD offers realistic resolution and life-like audio creating theatrical experiences every time. DISH Network also offers additional HD channels from the former company VOOM. These are advantages that are not present with our competition (especially cable).

Cable:
Cable also has HD programming but cannot match the price of DISH Network (Some have even claimed they had to sacrifice their good arm for Cable HD). Cable really falls short when it comes to HD programming. Cable is merely hoping you do not run across a sight like this and sicover that not only does DISH Network have a great HD selection but also carries the coveted favorites from the former Voom Network.

Pay - Per - View Movies, Sports, Events, and Adult features

DISH Network:
Many people get just what they want without ever leaving their homes. Movies and events from Channel 455 to Channel 539 means there's always something you'll want to see. No need to spend extra gas driving to the video store in hopes of finding a decent movie in stock. You can preview what will be showing on Channel 500 while Channel 450 features sports airing live on TV today.

Cable:
Offers around 40 Pay-per-View channels. Less than half what DISH Network provides, which means less choices. Willing to miss the one showing available for your program? That's unfortunate and unnecessary. Forget cable, it's time for DISH.

Biggest selection of Pay Per View Sports, Events, Movies, and Adult entertainment

DISH Network: over 85 channels!

Cable: Less than 50

What's offered to you?

DISH Network:

Apartment? Or a single-family/duplex home?
Satellite signals are considered to be the highest quality as they are first generation (directly from the Broadcaster to you).A clear line of sight from a dish antenna to the southern sky is necessary to receive a direct signal from the satellite. Nearly 98 % of all residences are able to have a dish antenna. Thus, providing 98% of residents the quality and diversity of DISH Network programming regardless of zip code.

Cable:
Is the cable provider in your neighborhood offering analog-only, true digital, or a hybrid analog/digital service? Digital Cable cannot be considered "Truly Digital" as it is generally a fourth or fifth generation signal relayed from sub-station to sub-station before reaching your residence. The relay of Digital Cable diminishes the overall quality of your picture and sound.
