"DISH : Overview : most popular channels"

DIRECTV CHOICE™ package includes the most popular channels, not
filler channels.

  • Pay attention to what channels you’re really getting with DISH Network. They don’t include 37 of the most popular channels in their comparable packages, including AMC, Animal Planet, BRAVO, BET, MSNBC, Nick Jr., and many more. You do, however, get channels you've probably never heard of. With DIRECTV's comparable packages, you get what DISH Network doesn't give you and a whole lot more.

"DISH : Overview : most popular channels (part 2)"
  • Best Value
    DISH Network also inflates their HD channel count by including part-time channels that often show only one program a day. DIRECTV has more HD than anyone—over 170 full-time HD channels.1

"DISH : Overview : DISH Network's "Price Freeze""

Don’t be fooled by DISH Network's "Price Freeze"

  • DISH Network claims they’re freezing their prices until 2013, but with their other monthly fees, you may still be paying more. Take receiver fees, for instance. DISH may charge you up to $17 every month per additional receiver.* If they do what they did last year when they had a "price freeze," these receiver fees will increase again.

"DISH : Overview : DISH Network's "Price Freeze" - (Part 2)"
  • Price Freeze
    Their “freeze” doesn’t apply to their new Blockbuster service – in month four you’ll be charged an additional $10 each month for that service. And their price freeze only applies to limited packages. The last time DISH “froze” their prices, packages with standard-definition service increased 7%.
