Dish Network Specials

If you're in the market for satellite TV at an affordable price, Dish Network specials can really save you a lot of money. One of the most important things to keep in mind is that their deals constantly change. DISH usually runs a promo for three to five months (depending on the season), then mixes it up. If you strike while the iron's hot, you'll lock in some pretty big savings.

FREE HD for Life Special

One of the best promotional perks currently being offered is FREE HD for the life of your account. If you sign up for auto-pay and paperless billing, you get all the high definition channels available for your programming package (America's Top 120 or above). The nice additional upside is you'll get free high def for every newly added channel as well. You'll definitely want to take advantage of this offer: ask anyone who recently upgraded to HD - once you start watching TV in high definition, there's really no substitute.

FREE Premium Movie Channels

If you're a movie buff, you'll really appreciate this offer. DISH is currently tossing in HBO, Cinemax and STARZ (over 20 channels) free for 3 full months ($100 value). You don't need to do anything to activate it or get it up and running - it'll be part of your programming package from day one. At the end of the three months, the premium channels will automatically renew, so if you'd rather not keep them, make sure you either unsubscribe online or give a representative a call.

Blockbuster Movie Pass

With Netlix on the ropes and pay-per-view prices steadily increasing, Dish Network recently purchased Blockbuster's online service to bring their fully-featured "Movie Pass" to all their subscribers. The service includes over 100,000 titles (usually available before Netflix or Redbox) available by mail and thousands more that you can stream directly to your computer or TV. With brick and mortar Blockbuster stores in every major city, one major advantage of "Movie Pass" is you never have to wait for your DVD in the mail - just head down to your local store and, with no due dates or late fees, watch it on your time. As soon as you return it, the next movie on your queue will be prepped and shipped out.

Free Local Channels

It wasn't long ago, that you had to pay extra for local channels on satellite TV. Either you paid $10-$25 extra per month or settled for the over-the-air (bunny ear antennas) reception. Fortunately, for a good couple years now, local channels have been available free with all DIRECTV and DISH packages. There's no guarantee that'll continue, so don't hesitate for too long. In all, DISH delivers local programming to nearly every city in the country (99%+ coverage), so you'll be able to enjoy your favorite local shows and news programs in crisp HD quality.

Just like with anything else, Dish Network Specials come and go. There's really not a "HOT" season with better promotions, so it's all about comparison shopping.
