Programming
Local Broadcast Network Programming (ABC, CBS,
NBC and FOX) As a general rule, it's important to provide local broadcast networks
like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX because these channels are the most commonly viewed.
These services are typically provided through an off-air antenna system. The advantage to
you is the programming is provided "free-of-charge". If a network(s) cannot
be obtained off-air, we may be able to provide the service(s) to you via satellite.
Next, your guests probably expect other TV programming,
including; news, sports, entertainment and a premium channel. In fact, you may decide multiple
premium channels provides guests with better movie selection while offering an
alternative perhaps to Pay-per-View movies.
DISH Network Satellite Programming
Programming content varies by price and by what category
you fall under. The value associated with certain channels over others ultimately needs to
be determined by you. Your goal is to provide the best service to guests, tenants,
clients & home owners.
