Local HD Programming now available in Austin, Flint, Orlando, and West Palm Beach
Dish Network announced in a press release today that they will add local high definition programming via satellite transmission to four new markets: Austin Texas, Flint Michigan, Orlando and West Palm Beach Florida. Previously these markets did not have the local network broadcasts available in high definition. Dish subscribers were able to get programming in HD for some of the major networks, but through an out of area feed.
It is estimated that now54 percent of U.S. households can access local HD channels through their Dish Network Satellite system when they have a satellite receiver and subscribe to the HD programming packages. Echostar has a goal to have 100 high definition markets by the end of 2008. The addition of Austin, Flint, Orlando, and West Palm Beach brings the total to 39 HD markets.
Non Dish customers can get HD receivers for free when signing up with a new Dish Network account and a two year contract. They can also get three months of programming for free and free installation. It’s a great time to get set up with High Definition and Dish Network in Austin Texas, Flint Michagan, Orlando Florida, and West Palm Beach Florida.
