 HDTV - High Definition TV for DISH Network
DISH Network's high definition television, or HDTV, gives viewers crystal-clear pictures integrated with Dolby Digital 5.1 channel
surround sound - the entertainment experience that was never possible on standard analog televisions. HDTV reproduces theater-quality
sights and sound by digitizing TV programming, allowing it to be transmitted and received the same way that a DVD player can reproduce
movies with big-screen quality effects.
Programming:
Since HD programming is a la carte pricing, there's no long-term subscriptions. Choose from a wide array of theater-quality movie channels,
educational and nature programming and PPV HD movies. DISH Network transmits HD broadcasts of special events, like concerts and boxing matches,
and HD subscribers can also watch special broadcasts of professional sporting events in HD from the NBA, NHL, NCAA and more. And with an optional
8VSB tuner from DISH Network, you can watch local off-air digital broadcasts in HD with the use of an off-air antenna.
