A: No, but you will receive a PURE DIGITAL signal which is completely distortion-free. The quality of your signal is so high that it is equivalent to a DVD. This signal will look incredible on ANY television, including HDTVs.

Q: "If I live in an apartment or condo can I still get a dish?"

A: In most cases, yes, if you have a balcony. The law requires that your landlord must give you permission.

Q: "Can I substitute one channel for another in my basic package?"

A: Dish Network strives to make satellite programming as affordable as possible. One way to help keep costs lower is to provide stations in packages, rather than mostly a la carte. Allowing customers to substitute channels would have the adverse effect of forcing DishNetwork to raise prices, both for overall programming, and for a la carte stations. To prevent this, no substitutions are allowed.
 

Q: "What if I don't have a credit card?"

 A: To sign up for this offer with DishNetwork, you are required to use a credit card  which has a MasterCard/Visa Logo.

A: No. If you are not sure of which packages you desire, you can simply choose the basic programming package for now. You'll then have time to consider your options. Just keep in mind that you'll have to decide before the installer comes to your home. DishNetwork will also mail you full color information which clearly outlines your choices.

Q: International Programming
