Are you a Dish Network customer, or thinking of switching to Dish Satellite anytime soon ? If you also have an HD television set in your home already but aren’t hooked up to Dish Network then maybe you should consider doing so now.

The reason for this is that they have recently unveiled three new high-def packages, and these definately makes them the true leaders in HD ! The packages are known as dish HD Essential, dish HD Ultimate, and dish HD Base. They will set you back $10, $20, and $29.99 respectively. Get all your favorite channels such as TNT, CNN, USA, NBA TV, Discovery, History Channel, and ESPN, just to name a few. In total you can get up to 45 channels all in HD !! Let’s not forget the locals, which are an additional $5 only. With those you could well have up to 60 channels in high-def in your home.

L.A resident frustrated about Cable service

A 27-yr old Loz Feliz resident is furious that he cannot switch to satellite tv because his apartment complex does not allow the installation of dishes. What a pain in the you-know-what. He is currently subscribed to Time-Warner and recently purchased a 42-inch Sony HD TV but only gets 16 high-def channels from Time Warner. Dish Network offers close to 100 channels in high-definition, but he cannot switch to them because some grumpy landlord won’t allow a dish !!

This 27-yr old recently complained to Time Warner and was given a free, one-year’s subscription to HBO (like that would help).

What use is it if one spends up to $3000 on a television set but cannot really ‘use’ it ?
