It is also a source of some of the best programming and channel packages. If you have wondered how it would fare in a match up with Comcast\u2019s XFinity cable service, here is a look.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Reasons Dish Is Better<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Dish Network services starts at $34.99 on the lower end, but the channel lineup there has at least 100 channels more than Comcast\u2019s comparable package. It is the budget availability of so many channels that appeals to customers, boosting Dish\u2019s popularity.<\/li>\n<li>Dish offers big monthly discounts all year round, as well as free HD for life. Comcast on the other hand is known to raise prices without warning.<\/li>\n<li>Customer satisfaction says a lot about how good a service is, and this is one area where Dish rarely falls short. The 2013 ASCI saw Dish score 11% higher in satisfaction rating than Comcast.<\/li>\n<li>Dish technology lets you stay on the move and still be able to catch your favorite programming, whether on a TV or a mobile device such as tablet or smartphone. Comcast does not let you take your live TV shows with you.<\/li>\n<li>Dish has very little signal downtime, and most subscribers have gone years without experiencing blackouts. The company claims 99.9% signal up time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Benefits Of Signing Up For A Dish Package<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Free whole home HD DVR. If you know satellite TV, you have heard of the Hopper DVR, which is a Dish product.<\/li>\n<li>Free premium channels for the first three months.<\/li>\n<li>Free Dish Movie Pack for the first three months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_298\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thetripleplay.net\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-298\" class=\"wp-image-298 size-medium\" title=\"Satellite TV\" src=\"http:\/\/thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Cable-TV-Alternatives-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Cable TV Alternatives\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Cable-TV-Alternatives-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Cable-TV-Alternatives-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><em>Dish TV Service<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you match it up with Comcast, it is usually clear who the winner is, any why cable just can\u2019t compete in all areas. Choosing Dish is a widely accepted way to get all your favorite channels, while saving big. You get free HD programming for the first year. That means you get to watch your favorite movies, shows and sports in 1080p resolution.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The Best DVR<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the reasons Dish has its position as one of the top two TV providers, is the Hopper DVR. This award-winning piece of equipment has revolutionized service delivery in many ways. Subs can record up to 6 shows at any single time, and the thing even lets you skip commercials at a click. The interface is so intuitive that once you start using the DVR, you cannot do without it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dish Network often trumps other TV service providers by offering low pricing, quality features, and top-notch technology to new and existing subscribers.
