DISH Network Ups the HD Ante

Yesterday, DISH Network became the first in the industry to offer high definition programming in 1080p, the highest and best HD resolution available, setting the bar for the next-generation HD standard.

This new move is part of DISH Network's latest and unprecedented expansion in high definition services, which includes the rollout of TurboHD, the industry's first 100%, all-HD suite of programming packages. DISH Network will also launch 17 new national HD channels today, passing its goal of reaching 100 national HD channels - five months ahead of schedule. DISH Network now offers up to 114 national HD channels and plans to expand that line-up to 150 channels by the end of 2008, made possible by the recent launch of Echo XI, the most powerful satellite in the company's fleet.

Consumers can sign up for the best high definition programming and service in the industry with DISH Network's new TurboHD programming packages, the only all-HD packages on the market, starting at $24.99 per month. TurboHD is available in three separate tiers and includes special "turbo-charged" features and benefits such as DISH Network's award-winning and industry-leading technology, the highest quality HD available including 1080p where applicable, and the most-watched HD channels that may be viewed on any TV -analog, digital or high definition.
