Dish Network History

The Dish Network satellite systems were officially launched in March of 1996. The main competition for Dish Network in the United States was DIRECTV. In it's earlliest days the Dish Network systems used an 18-inch satellite dish known as the Dish 300. These home systems let viewers have the ability to receive a signal from a single satellite location.

These days the Dish Network systems use a 20-inch satellite dish that goes by the moniker of the Dish 500. With the Dish 500 viewers can receive their satellite tv signals from two satellite locations in unison. The newest innovation is the "SuperDish". This satellite dish is a little bit bigger at 36"×20". Going one step further, it has the ability to receive satellite signals from three satellite locations simultaneously. The SuperDish and Dish 500 are becoming ever more popular.

Dish Network Innovations

Dish Network began providing in-flight satellite tv service to the United States airline named Song in the year 2003. In the year 2004 the Dish Network started another innovative idea by including selected music channels from the audio pack of the Sirius Satellite Radio Network.

Dish Network is by far the most popular and fastest growing provider of home satellite systems. Their overwhelming popularity has been accomplished by broadcasting their digital quality audio and video signals straight to the mini dishes located on the homes of millions of Americans.
