1. You decide what kind of packages you want to watch:
Multi-sport package
You can choose TV packages separately or you can combine them with another ones. The monthly payments will change respectively. Please keep in mind that you need just one antenna to watch English language packages and/or different antenna to watch International packages.
2. You decide how many TVs you want to watch Satellite TV on:
1 TV — you need just one receiver (black box next to your TV) and one or two antennas (if you chose both English speaking and International packages)
2 TVs.
You can choose to make it possible to watch two different channels of package(s) you chose earlier on two different TVs. Then you need two receivers and one or two antennas (if you chose both English speaking and International packages)
You can choose to watch the same channel of package(s) you chose earlier on both TVs. Then you need just one receiver and one or two antennas (if you chose both English speaking and International packages)
3 TVs or more
Here you can combine number of channels and receivers similar to the combination with 2 TVs and decide how many receivers you want to have installed.
To have the equipment installed and start enjoying your TV packages you need rent or to buy the equipment and pay for the installation and activation. You can reduce these costs by using our promotions: "FREE DISH" or "DIGITAL HOME" by meeting their requirements and subscribing to basic packages America's Top 100 or America's Top 150 so that monthly payment is at least $39.98
Please visit our Plans and Promotions page to read about the most common plans for installation and monthly payments.
3. You choose equipment that matches your needs
If you decided to watch just English/Spanish language package(s) or just International package(s) then you need just one antenna that can be placed on the roof or south- faced balcony of your house and one or more receivers (black box placed next to your TV) depending on what you decided before in "how many TVs" step.
If you decided to watch both English/Spanish language package(s) and International package(s) then you need two antennas that can be placed on the roof or south- faced balcony of your house and one or more receivers (black box placed next to your TV) depending on what you decided before in "how many TVs" step.
if you decided to view the same channel on two different TVs and have those in two different rooms then you might want to switch channels while staying in another room by using radio Remote Control instead of using regular infrared remote control that comes with basic 3922/3822/2800 systems. This option is possible if you upgrade to 4722/4922 system that has UFM Remote Control included.
