Although live TV is going digital with cable streaming alternatives, prices are climbing, and coverage might be shrinking if you’re outside of a major market. That’s why DISH quietly remains one of the best ways to get all your favorite channels — no matter where you’re located — for a reasonable price.
For more than 45 years, DISH has provided nationwide coverage for a very reasonable price. That’s still true today, especially if you’re located in a market where cable is unreliable or high-speed internet hasn’t arrived.
While we love the equipment-free convenience of live TV streaming, DISH’s satellite coverage is unbeatable. The reliable tech delivers signal regardless of local infrastructure, which is why it’s still a default in regions where providers haven’t laid cable or run fiber internet. Plus, with DISH, bad weather isn’t the end-all it used to be. If the weather disrupts the satellite signal, DISH’s Signal Protector feature automatically reroutes to internet streaming.
If you’re unhappy with your live TV package — because of coverage or cost — here’s why it might be worth it to switch to DISH. Scroll down further to find some of DISH’s current deals.
DISH Packages and Prices
DISH offers four main tiers, each for different budgets and viewing needs. All of them are backed by DISH’s two-year price guarantee,* which means you won’t be hit with surprise price hikes that we’ve seen all over the streaming world recently.
America’s Top 120
America’s Top 120 is DISH’s entry-level $89.99-a-month option for households looking to keep costs at a minimum. But this is far from a typical “budget” plan. You get 190 channels, including local channels and major national networks like ESPN, HGTV, Disney Channel, and Food Network. This package will only work on one TV at a time, however, so you’ll want one of the plans below if people are watching simultaneously in your household.
America’s Top 120 Plus
America’s Top 120 Plus offers everything in the plan above, plus added sports networks including NFL Network, Big Ten Network, and more for a channel lineup of more than 190. It also lets you watch on up to two TVs instead of just one.
America’s Top 200
DISH’s America’s Top 200 package ups the channel count to 240+ and costs $109.99 per month. Many of the best additions in this package are sports and movie channels like NBA TV, NHL Network, Sundance, A&E, and Golf Channel. Top 200 will work on up to three TVs.
America’s Top 250
The top-tier DISH package is America’s Top 250. This one costs $119.99 per month and delivers more than 290 channels, including Turner Classic Movies, STARZ Encore channels, and The Movie Channel. This one can also feed up to four TVs, making it ideal for large households.
