Dish Network Satellite

One of my best friends is Arab and she invited me over to her house the other day and she kept telling me about these awesome channels that they had as part of their DishNet TV package.

She had Arabic Satellite TV, which was so great. I had never seen anything like it. Some of the channels had subtitles for English-speaking individuals. It was fun watching shows in another language. I didn’t realize how many channels she had as part of her Dish Network deal. There were games shows and reality shows. They even had talk shows. It was a little different from the ones in the United States but it was cool. The sports that were on the Arabic Satellite TV were cool. They had very similar games that we have here, but they were a little difficult to understand. They have kids’ shows and educational shows just like they have on regular satellite TV. It was great.

I asked my friend whether it was expensive to get this package, and she said that it was not much more than the regular satellite deals. After I left my friend’s house I wanted to get the same satellite TV programs that she had. I went online to sign up and I was surprised at the cool deals they had available. Now my friend can come over to my house and watch a lot of the same shows, so she feels at home in my house now. She has taught me so much. She is one of my best friends and I feel lucky that she is able to teach me about her culture. I also realize that sport fans are die-hard. They are pretty much the same no matter what part of the world you come from. The patriotism and comradery that I see her father and brothers display is awesome. They are very serious about their sports. They dress up in their team’s colors every time there is a game and I learned that they are not to be disturbed while the game is on.

I love having friends that are different and special. I enjoy watching games and talk shows with my friend and she loves watching all of my crazy reality shows with me. The economy is tight nowadays and I am glad that I was able to catch a good deal, and save a little money. I love watching my favorite TV shows and I love being able to share it with my friends.

After purchasing a new HD television, I was in the market for some HD content, something my cable service provider was lacking. That left me with satellite as my only choice. Because of my experience with the customer service of both Direct TV and Dish Network I was convinced Dish Network was they way to go. My only problem was what package to choose. I went online to the Dish Network packages builder to help me to decide what programming package and equipment I needed, I was asked what type of programming I liked to watch (how many TV’s and whether they were high definition or standard definition, and also if i wanted DVR service or not).
After the questionnaire, it was recommended that I get two single HD tuners and one dual HD tuners (all three DVR’s), and the package that was suggested was Classic Gold 250 plus HD Platinum which is 250 channels with close to 100 HD channels. I added some premium channels and my grand total came to about 99 dollars a month which was a steal compared to what my cable provider was charging for half that programming.
The technician showed up for the install on time. I was a bit concerned about how the installation would go given that two of the boxes would need to be hooked up to a TV tuner card in each computer. The technician had never hooked one up before but was very interested on learning more about it. For his part it was no different than a regular install, just instead of hooking the wires up to the back of a TV, he hooked the same wires to the back of the computer in the TV tuner card. The software for the tuner card i configured myself but the technician hung around to see how it was done in case he ever needed to help a customer with a similar issue in the future. I thought that was pretty cool of him.
Despite the unusual nature of our install it went very quickly and without a problem I have been a Dish Network customer for 6 months now and I have always had a clear picture, and the customer service is very good ! I haven’t regretted my decision to switch to Dish Network, not even once. In fact I am so happy with the service and reception that I just might buy Dish Network Stock, and that’s saying a lot in today’s economy.
