Dish Network just released fresh programming bundles called TurboHD. These new programming packages are all HD, removing of the SD networks. So is this new satellite TV the right for you?
It all depends on what you want from your pay TV provider. Some folks want every single channel that is available. They don’t care if 20 of them are shopping channels, or that six of the channels are public access. They just want all of the channels.
On the other hand, many have become weary of trying to wade past all of the junk on the cable dial, looking for something decent to watch. For consumers who have recently purchased a new HDTV, Turbo HD from DISH Network may be the perfect solution.
The three different options with TurboHD are the Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels. All of these packages are made up of hi definition channels only. Pricing starts at about $24.99 per month for the entry level package. That package, however, does not include your local channels like ABC and Fox, which cost $5 more per month.
DISH Network also offers the Platinum level, which is an additional service to any of the other TurboHD levels. This Platinum package is $10 per month, and adds on seven additional hi def channels such as HDNet Movies and NHL Network.
One sticking point with some current DISH Network customers is they have not been allowed to switch over to the TurboHD packages, even though they are cheaper. Currently only new subscribers to DISH Network have been allowed to get the TurboHD only bundles. Current customers can get DISH TurboHD, but only as an add-on to the SD package.
A final consideration you should know about is how DISH Network is counting the channels included in the bundles. For example, the Dish Network Bronze package which includes 44 channels, of which 24 are network channels, six are pay-per-view, and 14 are video-on-demand channels. Some would consider that plenty but others are accustomed to having quite a bit more content to choose from. One final note, none of the TurboHD levels include premium movie channels like Starz or Cinemax, so don’t be surprised when you have to pay more for commercial free channels like that.
