DISH Network Expands Local High Definition Markets

DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ:DISH) , the nation's third largest pay-TV provider and the digital transition leader, today announced the addition of high definition local channels in Beaumont - Port Arthur, Texas. DISH Network(R) now offers local channels in 66 markets reaching more than 69 percent of U.S. TV households, continuing its commitment to reach its year-end goal of 100 local HD markets.

Earlier this year, DISH Network announced plans to enhance its HD programming line-up and will surpass the 100 national HD channel mark on August 1, 2008.

DISH Network offers new customers the opportunity to upgrade for free to a dishHD DVR receiver like the ViP722(TM) -- which recently received the top-ranking Editors' Choice awards from both CNET and PC Magazine.

The ViP722 is a dual-tuner HD DVR that operates two televisions in separate rooms and offers up to 500 hours of storage capacity allowing customers to pause, rewind and fast forward their favorite TV programming.

DishNetwork for the Fall 2008 season

DISH Network's Q3 starts off with a bang! DISH Network is on track for meeting their goal of 100 HD locals by the end of 2008, and is positioned to surpass their goal of 100 national HD channels by year's end - 5 months early! New programming packages offer customers more HD-only options, as well as new pricing tiers for HD upgrades to existing packages. Couple this with the new movie promotions, and you've got a recipe for fantastic sales! Read on to find out more!

New TurboHD Programming Packages - Effective August 1, 2008
DISH Network is creating 3 new packages of 100% HD, MPEG-4 content, starting at just $24.99/mo. They are called TurboHD Bronze, TurboHD Silver and TurboHD Gold.
• TurboHD Bronze - 25 HD channels, $24.99/mo w/o locals
• TurboHD Silver - 33 HD channels, $32.99/mo w/o locals
• TurboHD Gold - 40 HD channels, $39.99/mo w/o locals
• Locals are available for an additional $5.00/mo
• Channel counts do not include HD RSNs, HD PPV, or HD VOD. Count also does not include the Big Ten Network HD, which is provided on a geographically limited basis and may require the purchase of the Multi-Sport Package.

Please note:
• TurboHD packages require all MPEG-4 equipment on a customer account and are available to new customers only. This means even if a customer doesn't have an HDTV yet in all of the rooms in which they have a television, that customer may be "future-proofed" with a TurboHD package and DISH Network equipment.
• Due to the all MPEG-4 equipment requirement, TurboHD packages are only available to customers who select a TurboHD package at the time of activation.
• TurboHD packages are considered minimum qualifying programming for consumer promotional programs including DHA.
• Customers who are currently subscribing to dishHD Absolute will be grandfathered into that package, as dishHD Absolute will no longer be offered to new or existing customers wanting to subscribe to it (effective August 1, 2008).

Three new levels of DishDVR Advantage for TurboHD packages!

For customers who want all-HD programming AND a DVR, DISH Network will have three new DishDVR Advantage options! All TurboHD DishDVR Advantage packages include an applicable core HD package, local channels, and first DISH Network DVR Service Fee. These three new packages will be added to the current DishDVR Advantage America's Top programming and DishLATINO programming lineup.

• TurboHD Bronze DishDVR Advantage - $34.99/mo. (savings of $0.98/mo. over the price of each of the components purchased separately).
• TurboHD Silver DishDVR Advantage - $39.99/mo. (savings of $3.98/mo. over the price of each of the components purchased separately).
• TurboHD Gold DishDVR Advantage - $49.99/mo. (savings of $0.98/mo. over the price of each of the components purchased separately).

TurboHD Add-Ons to America's Top Packages - Effective August 1, 2008

There are customers who still want to receive standard-definition programming such as the America's Top packages along with their HD programming. One reason is that not all channels in the AT100 or higher programming packages are available in high-definition. Currently, the dishHD Essential package may be added onto AT100, AT100 Plus, AT200 or AT250 for $10.00/mo., which provides the available HD content contained within each of those applicable America's Top programming packages. Effective August 1, 2008, the dishHD packages will be renamed as follows:
• BronzeHD add-on package available for AT100 and AT100 Plus ($10.00/mo.).
• SilverHD add-on package for AT200 ($10.00/mo).
• GoldHD add-on package for AT250 for ($10.00/mo.).
• Additionally, dishHD Ultimate will be renamed "PlatinumHD".
• The PlatinumHD add-on package may be added onto AT100 or AT100 Plus with BronzeHD, AT200 with SilverHD, or AT250 with GoldHD for an additional $10.00/mo.
• The PlatinumHD add-on package may also be added onto any of the TurboHD packages (TurboHD Bronze, TurboHD Silver, or TurboHD Gold) for an additional $10.00/mo.
• DishLATINO HD Packages will continue to be named DishLATINO Max HD Essential and DishLATINO Max HD Ultimate.
These packages break down as follows:
• TurboHD Bronze - 25 HD channels, $10.00/mo
• TurboHD Silver - 33 HD channels, $10.00/mo
• TurboHD Gold - 40 HD channels, $10.00/mo
• Channel counts do not include HD RSNs, HD PPV, or HD VOD. Count also does not include the Big Ten Network HD, which is provided on a geographically limited basis and may require the purchase of the Multi-Sport Package.
