First TV Company to Offer 1080p

3 August, 2009

Why go HD? The difference between standard (SD) and high definition programming is significant. Remember when DVD technology overtook VHS? It’s like that, only more dramatic! Instead of the pixilated images delivered by standard definition that leave much to be desired, high definition programming offers crystal clear picture quality. With HDTV, you can see each blade of grass as it sways in the wind; watch each drop of sweat, as it rolls down the face of your favorite NFL player. Picture quality isn’t all that has improved with HD. DISH Network packages with high definition service include Dolby Digital surround sound! You will feel like you are part of the action, front and center.

DISH Network was the first pay-TV company to deliver true high definition programming in 1080p – the same resolution used by Blu-Ray Discs. DISH Network packages now offer more than 140 HD channels, and more are expected to come!
