What could be better than watching TV with your favorite Dish Network programming? Combining it with Google TV for the ultimate experience.
You can enjoy the latest technology on your current television. All you need is the Logitech Revue, a box designed to connect to your receiver. There is no need to buy additional equipment to get the Google TV experience. It allows you to surf the web, download apps, and make a video call.

Other options include the Sony Internet TV 3D Blu-Ray Disc Player and Sony internet TVs. You choose the one that works best for you and how much money you want to spend. With these two options, you will not need an additional box.
With Google TV, you can browse the internet while watching programs on your TV. If you’re watching a cooking show, you can look up the recipe at the same time. The picture in picture feature allows you to view two screens at the same time. Keep up on all of the scores while watching your favorite game. Even check your email or Facebook status and play games while watching a movie or reality show.
You can read articles or book a hotel online through your television. Watch videos on a bigger screen or check out Facebook photos of your friends.
Improve your TV experience even more by downloading apps like Pandora to play radio music on your surround sound. Classy Fireplace app lets you turn your screen into a fireplace when you’re not watching. Add some ambience to the room instead of watching a black screen.

You may be wondering what is the difference between Dish Network and other satellite companies or even cable TV. Aren’t they all the same?
There are several things that set Dish Network apart from their competitors. First, they offer innovative products at a reasonable price. They have a whole home DVR system in the Hopper, TV Everywhere that allows you to watch your favorite programs regardless of where you are, and Google TV that lets you enjoy the internet on your television. While each of these products may cost more than basic satellite programming, Dish Network remains competitive with other companies that are offering similar services.
Another thing that Dish Network offers is more movies. They have Blockbuster @Home that lets you choose between getting movies in the mail, online, On Demand, and 20 movie channels that include Starz Cinema. You will never run out of movies to watch and you can watch them first.
Superior customer service is another reason Dish Network is so popular. They are one of the only entertainment providers that has 24 hour customer service 7 days a week. You can talk to someone over the phone or online even in the middle of the night.
Prices are another reason Dish Network stays on top. They offer the lowest cost for their packages and didn’t raise their prices last year when other companies did.
Dish Network offers advanced technology that is easy to use. While they seek to keep up with the trends in today’s technology, they also strive to create products that the average person can program without problem. What good is fancy gadgets if you can’t use them? Dish Network’s award winning DVRs are simple to set up and user friendly.
It’s easy to trust a family-owned business and that’s what Dish Network is. They were founded by the Ergens and a friend back in 1980 and they have kept the same values ever since. In a world of big corporations and conglomerates, it’s nice to have a company that is all about family.
You can choose any or all of the reasons above to believe in Dish Network. Great value, great entertainment, and great values make it the right choice for anyone.
