Hey El Paso, Dish Network has your Cowboys and the NFL Network

It seems that Dallas Cowboys fans who can’t get the NFL Network through Time Warner Cable are fed-up and are asking the Governor and Legislature of Texas to intervene. Since Time Warner Cable doesn’t have the NFL Network in their basic cable lineup, subscribers won’t be able to watch two coming Dallas Cowboys games. Time Warner who serves El Paso won’t negotiate with the NFL Network to include the channel in their basic package.

El Paso Dallas Cowboy fans do have an alternative to Time Warner, an alternative that has the NFL Network in it’s basic package and a basic package that is cheaper. The alternative is Dish Network, whose basic channel package is 100% digital audio and video, includes 100 channels for $29.99 and best of all includes the NFL Channel.

Dish Network also has the El Paso local channels available, so El Paso residents will stay up to speed of Time Warner trying to justify not having the NFL Network to city officials.

With Dish Network and the NFL Channel, El Paso, Texas football fans will be able to watch the Dallas-Green Bay game on Nov. 29 and the Dallas-Carolina game on Dec. 22. These games are not going to be available on Time Warner.

In June of 2006 Dish Network and the NFL Network announced a multi-year extension to bring many new advanced features to customers of DISH Network satellite TV service. The deal allowed Dish Network to carry the NFL Network which airs over 160 games that are televised nationally including the NFL Network’s regular season primetime game package on Thanksgiving. Dish Network also has provides the NFL Network’s high-definition channel.

Best of all Dish Network added the NFL Network to the America’s Top 100 programming package. With NFL Network’s exclusive access into key league events, football fans will have access to nearly 2,000 original hours of programming on NFL Network. In 2007, the NFL Network will air 168 football games, including 8 primetime regular season NFL games, 52 preseason games, 75 game re-airs, 31 NFL Europe League contests, the Insight Bowl and the Senior Bowl. The NFL Network airs seven days a week, 24 hours a day on a year-round basis and is the first television network fully dedicated to the NFL and the sport of football.

And the Battle Continues…Dish Network HD versus DirecTV HD

Recent news sheds light on the ever growing gap between Satellite TV companies and cable TV providers. For many years cable TV provided a larger span of television channels in HD but recent polls show Satellite TV is leading the way.

Dish Network HD vs. Direct TV HD is the recent big debate among many viewers. New consensus supports the fact that DishNetwork simply gives its viewers more options. The Dish Network DishHD HDTV program line-up is bigger and better than ever before, featuring channels for everyone from young children to adults. Dish Network continues to give their viewers choices in superior Hi-definition quality regardless of whether or not you are a NFL fan. Although DirecTV offers its customers four free months of service with the purchase of their NFL package, Dish Network HD has got them beat, allowing customers to receive six free months of service and a free HD receiver regardless of whether you want to tune in to watch WorldSport HD, HDNet Movies or cuddle up with the kiddos and watch the Family Room HD, just a few of the many channels provided by DishNetwork HD only.
