Free Satellite TV

You hear the phrase "free satellite TV" alot lately. Some people think it means
stealing satellite signals from one of the satellite providers. Others think it must
mean that the programming offered is free. While still others just aren't sure at
all what "free satellite TV" means. This article will explain exactly what both
DISH Network and DIRECTV mean when they refer to their free satellite TV offers.

Free Satellite Equipment

Both DIRECTV and DISH Network have promotions that offer free satellite TV equipment
to first time DIRECTV or DISH subscribers. This means that you get free
use of the equipment so long as you remain either a DIRECTV or DISH Network customer
in good standing. Both satellite giants make this offer for up to 4 TV's. So the
satellite dish, satellite receivers (black boxes) and TV remotes are free. You
don't have to go out and purchase. Now both companies have been offering free
satellite equipment for so long now that especially younger generation Americans
may well take this offer for granted. But if the younger folks were to ask their
parents about the early days of commercial satellite back in the early 1990's;
they would find out that you had to actually buy this huge satellite dish that would
sit in your back yard. You had to buy the receiver also. Early satellite dishes were
huge affairs and they cost several thousands of dollars. So most people couldn't afford
to purchase them. So they went without satellite TV and it's crystal clear picture.
Today the cost of the dish and receivers have come way down; but you still save a few
hundred dollars by signing up with DISH Network and getting the equipment at no cost.

Free Satellite System Installation

You've taken that first step and ordered your brand new DISH Network satellite system,
replete with a satellite mini dish, receiver/receivers, remotes and cables. But now what?
Some independent satellite installers charge as high as $250.00 to install a dish and get your
satellite TV system up and running. That's alot of money for most people. For all
new Dish Network subscribers, DISH will actually install your entire satellite system
for FREE! And the job will be done properly and professionally. Installation usually
happens within a few days of placing your order and once the DISH installer is done,
he will program your televisions, show you how to operate the system and answer any
questions that you may have.

Dish Network's Standard Installation includes:

Site survey (at time of installation)
Assembly of dishes and mount(s)
Grounding of system components
System peaking for optimum performance
Installation of up to 120' RG-6 cable
One wall cable penetration
Testing of equipment for proper operation
Orientation to DISH Network programming and equipment

Materials Provided At No Charge:

Up to 120' RG-6 cable
Coaxial cable connectors
Grounding equipment
Weather sealant for connections and structure penetration

Also, with Dish Network, activating your new satellite service is free. Most cable
companies charge an 'activation fee'. And with Dish Network if you want to upgrade
to either a DVR or HD receiver, the upgrade is free after the rebate. Cable TV
companies charge you extra for upgrading to either DVR or HD receivers. So while
you will have to pay a small monthly bill for your satellite programming channels; by signing
up with Dish Network, you will save hundreds of dollars and sit back and relax as
a professional DISH installer does the work of installing your brand new satellite
system for you.
