I Went Form Cox Cable To Dish Network

When deciding between cable providers or satellite TV I had a lot of choices to pick from. Locally, Cox takes care of all cable internet and television. However, one day my neighbor told me about Dish Network. He has had Dish Network for several years and absolutely loves it. I was worried about the reception quality of a dish since I had heard of it going out, especially during a heavy storm.

After talking to my friend I immediately headed to Dish network’s homepage to look at their prices and see what packages were available. The website was very nicely laid out and they made everything very easy to find. I found out that not only did Dish Network have a large selection of movies, but that they also provided local channels, HD Service, and a wide variety of paid programming channels.

I decided to sign up online that day after finding out what a great deal Dish Network was. By signing up at dishnetwork.com for twelve months of service they gave me Cinemax for one penny a month. On top of that they also gave me a free upgrade to a High Definition Digital Video Recorder (HD-DVR), and gave me HBO and Starz for free for three months. I was also amazed to find out that they had The Beast in 1080p resolution ! To really seal the package they included free next-day installation by one of their qualified technicians.

The next day a Dish Network installer was at my house setting my system up for me. I chose to have 3 rooms connected, which I got done for free. The technician was very friendly and very meticulous with the installation. He went over all the features of the DVR, the DISH remote control, and everything else that he thought was important. He also informed me that I would no longer have to worry about the digital television transition that was taking place soon, because with Dish Network’s satellite TV I was all set. After he left I was amazed at how crisp the picture looked on my high definition television. (I have a 1080p plasma TV !)

Digitally recording shows is my favorite new feature of having Dish Network because now I never miss a show. Going through all my channels I found out that Dish Network also teamed up with Sirius Radio to stream satellite radio, which is great. I only wish that I had learned about Dish Network earlier, because I absolutely love my service. They provide a reliable, inexpensive, and feature-rich alternative to overpriced cable companies.
