Dish Network offers a national HD package with the channels below.
ESPN HD, ESPN2 HD, HDNet, HDNet Movies, Discovery HD
Theater, TNT HD, Universal HD and The Voom 15 Suite.
The Voom 15 suite includes 15 HDTV channels and they are listed below.
WorldSportHD, RushHD, MonstersHD, WorldCinemaHD, FilmFestHD, KungFuHD,
EquatorHD, AnimaniaHD, GamePlayHD, FamilyRoomHD, GalleryHD, HDNews,
RaveHD, TreasureHD and UltraHD.
They also offer HBO HD and Showtime HD. Satellite companies at
this time cannot offer true two-way VOD services like cable companies
can today so any DVR service a satellite company offers today is just
run on a special channel and copied to a DVR box.
Dish Network has recently launched HD local channels in the top 10 or
so markets to compete with DirecTV on this front. Because of this
some of the new national HD channels and all of the local HD channels
will require a new MPEG4 box from Dish Network. Upgrades aren't
free but they are low cost and as such availability is of some concern
at this point on both satellite companies. But Dish Network does
have an MPEG4 HD DVR which DirecTV doesn't have quite yet. Dish
Network also offers a lease option on their HD DVR with a 250.00 one
time upfront charge. Dish Network also will offer a portable Dish
Player as well. Also Starz HD might also be offered on Dish
Network soon.
I also must make you aware that Dish Network is doing what many of us
called
HD-Lite. HD-Lite means that Dish Network for example is sending you an
HDTV
signal that they are lowering the quality of. This is being done
to save bandwidth but it seems that Dish Network isn't as bad as
DirecTV is right now. I expect this issue to be a thing of the
past as time goes on but for now you must be made aware of this with
the kind of money you will be spending.
