DISH TV Packages

All entertainment providers these days are judged mainly on the amount and variety of content that they can provide. Having the right broadcasting contracts with the right networks can make all the difference and separates the truly great services from the mediocre ones.

DISH Satellite TV Packages – Compare Plans & Prices

DISH has steadily expanded its channel offering working on featuring quality over quantity as much as possible. Rather than stuff their lineup with hundreds of channels that most people don’t care about, DISH TV integrates nationwide top-rated channels into its packages. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of DISH’s channel packages as well as their internet bundles and bulk offers for subscribers.

TV Channel Packages

DISH has four basic channel packages and one package exclusive to their DISH Outdoor service that is designed for recreational vehicles. All DISH channel packages come with a 3-year price guarantee. The price of the package is guaranteed to remain fixed for the first three years of service. After that time, it may be subject to price increases. All the packages also include the DISH Signal Reliability Guarantee.

Further, all the packages include free installation ($199 value) and DISH’s Hopper Duo Smart HD DVR, which can store many hours of HD video and is compatible with popular streaming apps such as Netflix and Pandora. DISH TV provides subscribers with access to up to over 36,000 on-demand titles from top-rated streaming services. All packages also include a free Google voice remote and two Google Home Minis.

In order from the lowest to the highest price, the pre-built channel packs start with America’s Top 120.

• America's Top 120 – $91.99 monthly for 190 channels
  All-time favorites, including ESPN, Newsmax, CMT, Disney Channel, E!
• America's Top 120 Plus – $106.99 monthly for 190+ channels
  All of America's Top 120 and more, including SEC Network, Big Ten Network and Pac-12 Network.
• America's Top 200 – $111.99 monthly for 240+ channels
  All of America's Top 120 and more, including NFL Network, NBA TV, NHL Network and the Golf Channel
  Additional top channels like Hallmark, Disney Channel, A&E and Sundance

  All of America's Top 200 and 17 movie channels including Turner Classic Movies, STARZ Encore channels, The Movie Channel and many more, plus additional top channels like Smithsonian, Bloomberg, Nicktoons, and Great American Country

America’s Top 120

This package is the lowest tier and starts at $91.99 as of this writing. It’s a basic package with 190 popular channels, including AMC, Comedy Central, ESPN, CNN, FX, and many more. Local channels are also included for all viewers. America’s Top 120, as with all packages, includes regional and national news channels depending on the viewer’s location. The package includes over 28,000 on demand titles for free.

That is arguably the most balanced package, providing a great selection of channels at the most affordable price. It only has ESPN as far as sports go, so for viewers who can live without the major sports networks, this will be a very acceptable package.
