In today’s economy, pay television subscribers are looking for any way possible to stretch their dollar. One area you may want to consider is your cable television bill, as rates continue to rise in this industry. An alternative to evaluate is satellite television service, specifically either DIRECTV or Dish Network and the choices they offer today.

Dish Network is the second largest satellite TV company, with nearly 14 million subscribers. Because of the heated competition in the pay television market, Dish Network offers great deals to new customers, in the hopes that they will become a long-time subscriber.

So where should you search to find the best satellite TV deals? The internet of course is a great place to begin investigating satellite television offers. At this time, Dish Network is offering a special deal which can get you started with satellite television for just 9.99 per month. Now the customer should be aware that this is an introductory price on the Classic 100 bundle, which is regularly priced at 34.99 per month. In addition, local channels are not included in this price, so expect to pay an additional $5 or so for local programming.

Now many consumers today are in the market for an all-inclusive satellite TV package? The item that would fit the bill in this case would be the America’s Everything Pak, which is offered at a promotional price of $72.98 for six months, and $97.98 per month after that. Included here is basically every cable TV channel you can think of, including 31 commercial free premium movie channels like Showtime. Another great option is the Dish Network Classic 200, offered at around $50 per month, with a $25 discount for the first six months of service.

Another nice thing about satellite TV is that most of the equipment needed is provided for free. From the satellite dish to the HD DVR, Dish Network will set you up. Generally, you will only incur upfront costs if you desire to have multiple DVR units. In addition, the satellite TV installation process is a snap as well, offering free installation in up to four rooms in your house.

Why not check out the new Dish Network deals available and compare them with what you currently pay for cable TV. Odds are you will be surprised at how much cheaper satellite TV costs.
