In 1987, EchoStar applied for a DBS license with the Federal Communications Commission and was granted access to geostationary orbital slot 119° West longitude in 1992.

In 1996, EchoStar and Dominion Video Satellite, Inc., proprietor of the Sky Angel DBS service, formed a technical agreement where Dominion has co-located its FCC-licensed DBS frequencies and channels on the same DBS satellite, EchoStar III (61.5° West longitude), carrying DBS frequencies and channels licensed by the FCC to EchoStar. The two DBS companies operate independently of one another, and subscribers to each service are not required to subscribe to both services, however, this technical agreement enables individuals, at their option, to subscribe to both services using the same satellite receiving system.

In 1999, EchoStar obtained the broadcasting assets of a failed joint venture between ASkyB and MCI WorldCom, including 28 transponders at the 110°W orbital location.
On May 1, 2005, EchoStar added the first ten of the 21 original Voom channels. These channels were made available at a 61.5°W orbital slot position. (The Voom channels are now available from either 61.5°W or 129°W locations.) EchoStar planned to carry all 21 original Voom channels by 2006. Currently 15 Voom channels are carried exclusively on Dish Network.

On February 15, 2006, Echostar X, the tenth satellite in Echostar's fleet, was successfully launched. By mid-May it successfully began broadcasting from the 110°W orbital location to satisfy a legal mandate (passed by Congress in December 2004) for single-dish local-into-local service.

EchoStar was formed in 1980 by its Chairman and CEO Charles W. Ergen as a distributor of TV systems.

On December 28, 1995 EchoStar successfully launched its first satellite, EchoStar I. The launch of Echostar I was a gamble in that it was one of the first successful commercial launches from China after a series of spectacular failures. That same year, EchoStar established the DISH Network brand name to market its home satellite TV system. The company used "DISH" as an acronym for Digital Sky Highway.

In 2003, DISH Network began providing in-flight satellite TV service to the U.S. airline Song. In 2004, selected music channels from Sirius Satellite Radio were added to DISH Network's lineup of audio-only channels that already include Muzak audio services for both households and businesses.

DISH Network was also partnered with Starband to deliver broadband satellite Internet service along with its television service. The partnership ended in 2003. Currently, DISH Network has partnership agreements with a number of local telephone providers to cross-market DSL and DISH Network services. In June 2006, Dish Network signed an agreement to partner with WildBlue to deliver broadband via satellite.

On January 4, 2006 EchoStar announced that DISH Network surpassed 12 million paid subscribers. In the last five years, DISH Network added more than 6.74 million net new customers, more than all other satellite TV and cable companies during the same period. As of February 2007, DISH Network reported reaching the 13 million customer mark.

Each month, DISH Network broadcasts a show titled Charlie Chat, which features news about upcoming hardware, programming events, and new channels. Company CEO Charlie Ergen and Jim De Franco host the show and take questions from e-mail and live callers. On March 13, 2006 a special 90-minute edition of "Charlie Chats" aired at 9 p.m. (Eastern time) to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the launch of the DISH Network to its customers.

Recently, Dish Network has started to provide Internet access to compete with cable companies.

Since its launch in 1996, 30 million viewers in 12 million households have subscribed at some point in time to DISH Network programming.

DISH Network is a direct broadcast satellite (DBS) service that provides satellite television and audio programming to households and businesses in the United States, owned by parent company EchoStar Communications Corporation. DISH Network was launched in March 1996, and, along with DirecTV, primarily competes with cable television providers throughout the United States. It is based at Meridian, Colorado, though the postal designation of nearby Englewood is commonly listed as the company's location in corporate filings and news accounts.

Satellite TV has been around for years, but many people do not understand how all the components work together to broadcast the signal through their television sets. It might be a little more complicated than you thought. There are programming sources, satellites, DBS broadcasting centers, satellite dishes, and the receiver in your home.

The programming source is a means for directing programming to broadcast. The satellite TV provider pays programmers to broadcast their programs via satellite. This includes companies like HBO, Cinemax and others. In this sense the satellite TV provider is connecting the different companies’ programs with the end consumer. Once the programming source receives the programs, they are sent to a broadcast center.

The broadcast center is where all the programs come together. At the center, all programming signals are received and then sent to a satellite. The satellite receives the programming sent by the broadcast center.

Once the satellite receives the signals from the broadcast center they are beamed back down to earth. When the satellite sends the signals back to earth they are ready to be picked up by the consumer’s satellite dish. After the dish receives the signal, it then transmits the signal to the receiver in your home. Finally, the receiver processes the signal from the satellite dish and allows it to be displayed on your television screen.

At the point the programming gets to you, you have no idea how many times the signal has been beamed from earth to space and back again, but rather enjoy watching your favorite program. Now, when you turn on your TV, you can better appreciate the technology that allows you to watch it!

DISH NETWORK continues to hold its own against its closest competitor from the time this satellite TV provider was established in 1995 as a subsidiary of the EchoStar Communications, Corporation. EchoStar continues to extend its services by technology development that includes portable devices aiming to serve the traveling public and high-definition products.

Satellite TV customers get their programming through a direct broadcast satellite (DBS) provider, such as DISH NETWORK. A DBS provider’s basic goal is to provide a big number of channels to your television that more or less approximates that which is provided by its competitor, cable TV. DISH NETWORK, along with the other DBS providers has managed to surpass that goal. Aside from offering hundreds of channels to watch, customers have the freedom to choose which company they would want to subscribe with and what package of channels to buy.

One advantage of DISH NETWORK is the big number of satellite bandwidth allocations they have which may make possible the eventual broadcast of at least 500 channels; which translates to endless possibilities when it comes to entertainment and information. As it offers the lowest all-digital TV price in the US and the most number of international channels, DISH NETWORK continues to offer new services such as High Definition TV to give the television viewers an even wider programming choice.

The DISH ViP 622 Mpeg-4 HD DVR is the first receiver to offer DVR and HD capabilities along with a multi-room function in an mpeg-4 format in the industry. The DISH ViP 211 HD is the single tuner mpeg-4 high definition satellite receiver that can also display both standard-definition (SD) and high definition (HD) programming. It has access to all DISH NETWORK SD and HD channels. It also includes an enhanced HD Adopter for current and future DISH HD programming. It further provides seamless channel selection between off-air analog/off-air broadcasts and the network’s SD and HD satellite TV programming.

Other interesting features include the parental control locks, program information, theme lists, favorite lists, browse, one-touch channel return, closed-caption support, alternate audio, on-screen DISH CD song titling, caller ID capability and DISH Home Interactive TV.
