Mpeg4 Upgrade[edit]

The article has a section about a 'future' upgrade to all mpeg4 programing. I have an old mpeg2 only box, and today I received a letter from dish reading "Due to upgrades in our system's technology and services, it is necessary to upgrade one or more of your older model receivers at no charge to you so you can continue to receive your programming." This would seem to indicate that the mpeg4 upgrade will take place shortly. Sparrowkc (talk) 00:31, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

EDIT: Confirmed with a customer service call, Dish Network is upgrading to Mpeg4, and is sending Dish311 receivers to customers who's current boxes do not support the upgrade. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sparrowkc (talk • contribs) 21:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Receiver data needed[edit]

We need to receive data for the receivers, including the industry-first DISH Player-DVR 942. Info available at http://www.dishnetwork.com/. --Acela Express

Channel removals[edit]

Removed claims that Music Choice and future programming packages will be added, as Dish Network has made no such announcements.

Also, added Oxygen from channel listing since DISH Network does provide this programming and has replaced Lifetime Movie Network on Jan 16, 2006. It does now on Channel 127.

Time for a re-naming[edit]

The Wikipedia Manual of Style on trademarks says to avoid all-caps in trade names:

Follow our usual text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment

RENAMING IS COMPLETE. —chris.lawson (talk) 02:40, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Wrong. Some channel names in this article are still written that way. Eh, I'll get to it later. --/ɛvɪs/ /tɑːk/ /kɑntɹɪbjuʃ(ə)nz/ 12:32, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
Regarding capitalization in the term DISH Network, DISH is an acronym for "Digital Sky Highway" and should remain as DISH, not Dish. --KJRehberg 15:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Needs redirect attention[edit]

Someone -- preferably not me, as I have very little time of late -- needs to go through and fix all the redirects from the old DISH Network page:

Post a note here if you make some effort toward completing this little project. Thanks. —chris.lawson (talk) 02:28, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Dish Network does not have PBS Kids![edit]

So, do us a favor, people, and stop adding it. And yes, I'm a subscriber. --/ɛvɪs/ /tɑːk/ /kɑntɹɪbjuʃ(ə)nz/ 12:36, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

Criticism section should be added[edit]

Recently, Dish network has had contract problems with certian channels over the years, I think it would be best to add that to the article. Asm2750

PBS distant feeds[edit]

What if a market lacks a PBS member? How can people in those markets view PBS programming? TitanTV has WNET and PBS-XD in its Dish list, but I don't see them in my EPG, so I'm guessing those are for areas without a PBS member. Could anybody tell me why these are in the list? --/ɛvɪs/ /tɑːk/ /kɑntɹɪbjuʃ(ə)nz/ 22:56, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

German TV[edit]

Should the red German TV wikilink really be DW-TV (Deutsche Welle), for which there is an article? --GilliamJF 00:52, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

No. German TV isn't (wasn't) the same thing as Deutsche Welle, although they carried some DW programming. Deutsche Welle is a German government operation, similar to PBS in the U.S., while German TV is a commercial joint venture of ARD, ZDF and Deutsche Welle. Effective 01 January 2006, German TV on DISH Network has been replaced by DW programming. --QuicksilverT @ 23:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)


Chart on subscriber count[edit]

Why does the number/year "2000" appear 3 different times (consecutively) with different numbers for each one? --Nguerrero03 08:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

The chart has no tie to reality whatsoever. Dish Network didn't even begin broadcasting until March 1996, it reached 1 million subscribers in December 1997, etc. The current chart is pure fantasy.


Affiliated Program[edit]

The Affiliated program is a way that satellite television including Dish network has been using for a length of time now that allows them to reward groups by attraction new customers. one such example is satellitesimplified.com which provides a simple way a link customers that wish to reach Dish Network with assistance from the support of satellitesimplified.com Affiliated Program where it can be more easily verified and modified by authors. --p.alex woodard 22:06, 12 august 2007

Major edit summary[edit]

I made some major edits this weekend:

1) Moved satellite fleet section to EchoStar Communications Corporation since both listings were different (and wrong) and EchoStar is the entity that operates the fleet.

2) Changed branding to DISH Network. That's how it's spelled, and if you disagree write here.

3) Added lots of verified and corrected tons of technological information and terminology (I own many of them).

4) Moved pictures of dishes around and added SuperDISH 121, and I welcome edits to move the pictures a bit but be CAREFUL they are anchored to each dish type heading.

5) I really think the channel listing should either be removed or put into a tiny table or other page that this page links to.

6) Fixed this broken discussion page.

--KJRehberg 02:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Number 2. Is "DISH" an acronym for something? If so, what? If not, then WP:MOS-TM prefers "Dish". If you don't like that fact, then argue it on WP:MOS-TM first. Wikipedia (you, me, us) are not obligated to uphold a marketing style. (I am short on time, so this brevity doesn't imply that I am suggesting an opinion on your other edits.) --Charles Gaudette 00:46, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
I tracked down my own answer. DISH = DIgital Sky Highway (http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/aboutus/satellites/echo1/index.shtml). Though I did run into unauthoritative people saying that it was originally Digital Information Sky Highway. --Charles Gaudette 18:29, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Yup, it is an old acronym for "Digital Sky Highway" and I sometimes refer to it as "DiSH" instead of "DISH". Thanks for looking into the fact that DISH is really an acronym and is better capitalized. --KJRehberg 03:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Competing companies[edit]

Competing companies are entirely relevant. Returned to the article. --KJRehberg 16:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Court TV rift -- on CNN and other channels.[edit]

On CNN and other channels there's been an ad citing DISH Network's drop of Court TV. The ad claims if you're a customer and want the channels back "Take A Stand" and call +1-800-710-1922. If you call that number they play yet more propaganda, and then- tell you to press "1" to find out what you can do. Upon doing so, they offer contact information for the competitor DirecTV and "Your local cable provider." Does anyone happen to know who is paying for this ad aimed at thinning DISH Network's subscriber numbers until they bend on the policy? CaribDigita 21:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Source Needed[edit]

Do not post anything unless it is 100% fact and you have a source to back it up.

"According to surveys, it is currently the number one satellite program provider in the United States."

Fair use rationale for Image:DISH Network Logo.png[edit]

HD Section added?[edit]

I hear that Dish Network will be adding more HD Channels to the line up should there be a section on the HD Programing and the new HD additions? DaveRapp101 19:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I am going to update the article to include the problematic launch on March 14th, 2008 of the SES AMC-14 satellite that was to be used by Dish Network to increase its number of high definition channels. Duedilly (talk) 04:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

MPEG4[edit]

I've read in some technical forums that DN has yet to broadcast in MPEG4, and instead marks the new HD channels as only compatible with MPEG4 IRDs, while still using MPEG2 for the actual compression, in order to force users to upgrade. Can anyone provide a cite confirming/denying this state of the stream? Alvis 04:12, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Article contains subjective opinions in the section about Puerto Rico pricing[edit]

The article contains very subjective opinions in the section where DISH is accused of overcharging residents of PR. To say that someone is overcharging for something is a subjective opinion and inappropriate for an encyclopaedic entry.

I also corrected a number of typos and mispellings that were also introduced by the same author who made the charge of DISH overcharging. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.170.226.56 (talk) 23:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Reformatted sections[edit]

I made minor edits to combine the problems and controversy sections to a general criticism and controversy section, as inspired by the earlier comment on this page by Asm2750. I made the date of controversy more prominent so that the reader has a better sense of present relevance. I added a header for each topic so that the reader doesn't have to read the whole text to have a sense of what it discussed. The enclosed content was not otherwise changed. RDNewman (talk) 22:19, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Merging in Dish Network Corporation[edit]

I just finished merging in the content of Dish Network Corporation. Having a separate article made sense when Echostar was the parent company, given that it often pursued endeavors that were distinct from Dish Network. For an individual company offering primarily a single service, though, a single article makes the most sense. See, for example, Comcast or think back to Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio before the merger. (Yes, the same should be done with DirecTV and The DirecTV Group.)   user:j    (aka justen)   09:23, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

The section about the Gay Television Network is severly outdated, and says 'as of 2005.' Not sure how to correct.64.53.73.154 (talk) 23:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Although it is outdated. It still remains an issue, as Dish Network, still to date will not include any gay programing in their line up. I think it is important to mention this point. EditorU.S.A. TIC 17:53, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Camera feed[edit]

A short while ago the camera feed for a satellite showing the earth was added to the channels, 212. --Clark89 (talk) 19:30, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

exclusive CMT deal[edit]

The paragraph recently added discussing the deal for exclusive content from CMT at best needs a citation, and at worst doesn't add anything useful to the article and should be scrapped. Maybe the right answer is somewhere in between, but personally, I don't see the value in it. Broadcasters make exclusive content deals all the time. Anyone else have an opinion? UncleverOnion (talk) 23:05, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


A Carriage Dispute with NBC Universal over The Weather Channel[edit]

i just found out that Dish Network is in a carriage dispute with NBC Universal as the contract to carry The Weather Channel on Dish Channel 214 expire at Midnight on May 20, 2010, because of it, Dish is dropping The Weather Channel and replacing it with a new lower budget produced weather network known as The Weather Cast. Dish claims it's because the customers demanded a 24/7 weather work but The Weather Channel's website confirm it was due to a contract dispute.

here's the two links from both sides of the pending carriage dispute:

Dish Network: http://www.dishnetwork.com/weather/

The Weather Channel: http://www.weather.com/tv/programs/CustomerMessage.html

and the story from the Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20100520-715627.html

this needs to be mentioned on Dish Network's Wikipedia page--Boutitbenza 69 9 (talk) 23:25, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Updating HQ location[edit]

According to this webpage it isn't Meridian, it's Englewood. Therefore, I'm taking the liberty of changing that entry.

“Englewood” is a postal designation only. The City of Englewood lies over eight miles to the northwest, in another county. As shown in the official U.S. Census Boundary and Annexation Survey found at http://www2.census.gov/geo/www/bas/st08_co/cou/c08035_douglas/BAS10C20803500000_003.pdf, the headquarters is located in Meridian, Colorado. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Watkinsian (talk • contribs) 17:38, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

The HDTV Signal[edit]

I removed the section called "The HDTV Signal" because it was totally idiotic (sorry, I was not logged in, so my edit does not bear my name, just an IP).

  • "HDTV stands for high definition television." -- Oh, really? Rather make a link.
  • "The HD signal has a greater resolution than the SD, or standard definition, signal, 1080i compared to 480i, which amounts to six times the resolution." -- Who cares? The article is about Dish, not about HD technology. Also, with HD Lite that Dish practices, horizontal resolution is either 1440 or 1280 pixels, so actuall difference is 4 or 4.5, not 6.
  • "The shape of the HD signal when viewed on an HD television is also much wider than the SD signal, simiar to a movie theater image." -- This was written by a six year old. Keep it simple, stupid: HD has 16:9 frame aspect ratio. Nevertheless, this is not the place to discuss HD peculiarities, there is a separate article on that.
  • "The High Definition transmission also has three components to its signal, not one, like an SD signal." -- This was written by a dropout student. Digital HD and SD use component encoding of color primaries, and no one cares what outputs you have on your Dish box.

The second paragraph is totally irrelevant, and its correctness is questionable. All it all, this was a pitiful chapter. Mikus (talk) 03:17, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Dish, while currently offering "Free HD For Life" as well as "Local Stations" for customers, usually fails to reveal unless asked that local affiliates signals are not in HD, leaving subscribers frustrated as no timetable for ever adding network TV in HD through local affiliates is ever noted. This doesn't sound neutral to me, all my local channels are in HD. DML —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.240.40.154 (talk) 17:59, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

It depends on where you are located whether you have local channels in HD. You do not need to subscribe to any HD programming to get the locals in HD if they are available and you have the proper equipment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.191.40.29 (talk) 05:09, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

No Local on the 8's, no good[edit]

Lots of people here on Wikipedia love Local on the 8's and WeatherSTARs, but I don't use Dish Network because here is my motto: no local, no good!" Dish is a evil satellite company. They lied. They made you pay less for the world's worst satellite company. Do not buy Dish, you may like it at first, but then, you will discover how useless it is. Please do not buy dish. It is a matter of life and death, cause if you don't have midland weather radio, how will you hear about weather in your area!!!?!?!?!?!!

Dish World IPTV[edit]

Dish World IPTV (http://dishworldiptv.com/) claims to be affiliated with Dish Network. This post on Dish Network's official page on Facebook confirms this fact: <http://www.facebook.com/dishnetwork/posts/10150479055345851>. Should we include a section on Dish World IPTV in the main article?

Promotional Language and Lack of Citations ... and DisneyCSIfan[edit]

I've noticed multiple sections of what seems to be direct lifts from Dish Network marketing materials and have made a few edits to fix same. DisneyCSIfan seems intent on undoing whatever edits I make without addressing the issue. Could I get a reality check before this escalates? - JeffJonez (talk) 02:25, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I've removed all the DVR additions - those were obscenely promotional, IMHO - this page should not be used as a marketing arm for Dish Network. I would have no problem removing it again, nor should you. MikeWazowski (talk) 03:58, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
DisneyCSIfan seems intent on preserving "their" version of the article. I'll check back in a day or so, and if he/she is still edit warring, I'd recommend asking for help from the higher-ups. - JeffJonez (talk) 21:10, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
He's been blocked a week for edit-warring - seems he has a history of that. Keeping an eye on the article is still a good idea tho - he also has a history of block evasion, according to his block log. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:39, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

He/She's Baaaack! (and still edit warring) - JeffJonez (talk) 12:16, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

do we need speculation?[edit]

"In January 2012 articles on CNET[6] and Deadline[7] report DISH is being targeted by AT&T for a potential takeover" Ya ok and so what? If they don't take them over does this matter? This lacks notoriety unless it happens.24.115.19.178 (talk) 09:48, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

No, this rumor isn't encyclopedic. It's promotional at worst, and trivia at best. I removed it, but another user fresh from a ban for edit warring is back to their old ways... so it's reappeared twice today.- JeffJonez (talk) 12:14, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Dish (satellite TV provider) → Dish Network – Article was renamed without discussion, cannot find anything to support the new cumbersome article name. The website still uses Dish Network llc. as copyright holder. News releases are (March 02 2012) sent from Dish Network.

DISH reboot in Feb 2012[edit]

I understand removing the information about competition with DirecTV, and the AT&T "potential takeover", but I think it's nessasary to explain the reboot (new website, name, and logo) introduced at CES 2012. --DisneyCSIfan (talk) 21:29, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

It may be important, but I don't think it's critical enough to be in the opening section of the article. Did the company radically change their business model or start from scratch? If not, then "reboot" is just hype, and it's a simple rebranding. Do you work for Dish, or know someone who does? - JeffJonez (talk) 05:38, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
I do know someone that does work at Dish. I agree that its just a rebrand, and if not in the opening statement, can we put it somewhere on the page? --DisneyCSIfan (talk) 02:19, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
I'd suggest a new history subsection for the latest branding effort. Also, please consider that you may have a conflict of interest regarding Dish Network. - JeffJonez (talk) 08:54, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
That's why I'd rather have you or another experienced editor add the info. --DisneyCSIfan (talk) 18:49, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Recievers[edit]

Autohop technology and subsequent lawsuit.[edit]

Fox dispute & Bias[edit]

Added Bias tag after reading the section and finding the argument 1 sided in light of the quote made that Fox is "robbing" Dish. Statement should be removed or Fox POV added to give both sides of the issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gohiking (talk • contribs) 13:04, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

I pared the section back and remove the template. There's a sameness to many of these license disputes: blackout, followed by corporate name calling, followed by resolution with the terms undisclosed. I think we can safely ignore the name calling, which is what I took out here.Barte (talk) 04:12, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Kick-in time for AutoHop[edit]

There's a discrepancy between Dish's press release boilerplate on AutoHop and the NYT account. The former says the feature is available at 1AM ET. The latter says two hours after prime time, presumably for all time zones. The latter makes more sense logically, but this might be one of those cases where the primary source is more accurate. I'm not sure. Barte (talk) 00:49, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't think that someone in California would get to skip the commercials when prime time isn't even over. I have a source I'm going to look at tomorrow and see if I come up with anything. And by the way, I'm not sure the article as it currently appears really makes it clear that you have to decide to skip the commercials. I fixed that in another part of the article and addressed someone's concern that there needed to be a section for controversy and a section for the equipment.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 20:59, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Original research is generally frowned on, but given the discrepancy, it could be useful. Agree that this should be divided into two sections and like where you put it. I moved the specs discussion up as well--the memory capacity and allocation aren't controversial. Barte (talk) 21:13, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Most of that was already there before I arrived. Now comes the confusing part: if you click on the link on the hopper disambiguation page, you'll get the controversy.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 13:00, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Interesting puzzle. I added a "Hopper" subhead under "Services", changed the redirect page to point to it, and added "Autohop" to the disambiguation listing under Hopper. A straight search for "AutoHop redirects to that section, as well.Barte (talk) 13:37, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────┘This might work. I found an article (using other databases not available to the average editor) on the feature that hasn't been used as a source and an important claim is made: the commercials are there. We haven't done anything with them. Nothing about when it is possible to delete them, though.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:33, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

The AutoHop section currently reads: " When enabled, the feature records but hides commercials, giving viewers the option of viewing prime time programming on the four major networks commercial-free." Does that seem to cover it? I can see why hiding commercials, versus not recording them, could be a legal point. Barte (talk) 18:47, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Well, that does say it.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 20:57, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

DISH vs. Dish[edit]

This was discussed in a couple of threads back in 2006, it seems. The "official name", which I'll change in the Infobox, is "DISH Network Corporation". Just wondering whether people would support or balk at a comprehensive change of "Dish" to "DISH". --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:09, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Whitewashing[edit]

SmartEdits is whitewashing this article as if he were a paid PR person. He has no sources to say DISH is a good place to work, and he repeatedly insists on removing the following section simply because he doesn't agree with it. This is highly inappropriate and deserves very close scrutiny - especially before the professional media gets wind of it. Rklawton (talk) 15:40, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Work environment[edit]

In 2012, the investment analysis and commentary site 24/7 Wall St. named Dish Network #1 among "America's Worst Companies To Work For,"[1][2] an assessment based upon employee reviews at the employment website Glassdoor.com.

Signals, bands, polarizations?[edit]

I've heard that Dish is Ku-band, but I'm having a hard time sourcing that (haven't dug too hard, admittedly), but frankly I'm a noob to satellite stuff so I'd love if someone better-versed in this could add such info to the page.

In particular, there seems to be all sorts of FSS and DBS stuff which appear to be separate services run by the same company. Maybe? I can't make heads or tails of it. A clear and cogent explanation of where (in the spectrum and in the sky) Dish programming can be found, would be helpful. Myself248 (talk) 18:32, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Services[edit]

Does Dish provide free service to non -profit and or government facilities?

Programming line up and packages[edit]

Dish network is ripping off its customers by taking away programming and not replacing them with channels of equal value and then telling customers if they want to continue to veiwvquality programming they will have to pay more.

Merger Proposal[edit]

I propose merging Criticism of Dish Network with Dish Network to create a more NPOV article. Bryce Carmony (talk) 21:04, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

I agree with this. In fact, I would guess that someone at Dish created the Criticism article in order to shuffle that content away from their main article.Lesbianadvocate (talk) 12:03, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
However it might also lead to a NPOV issue on this article 198.52.13.15 (talk) 11:40, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
