Dish Network’s Public Interest Channel Package

On February 23, 2006 Dish Network answered their customers request and assembled a package of 20 Public Interest Channels that are available for free! The Public Interest Channel Package isn’t automatically added, but, if a Dish Subscriber wishes to receive the programming package, they just need to ask their Customer Service Representative to add it on to their other DISH Network programming.
 

As far as what Dish Network Satellite Antenna is needed to receive the Dish Network’s Public Interest Channel Package, a subscriber will need a 2nd antenna pointed either the 61.5° and 148° orbital locations. This is due to the fact that 5 of the 20 channels are transmitted from the61.5° and 148° orbital locations. Since the Public Interest Channel Package is free, a customer who wants those channels broadcast from the 61.5° and 148° orbital locations will need to add/upgrade their antenna at their own expense.
 

DishFAMILY subscribers have been excluded from select Public Interest Channel programming due to potentially offensive or mature content. DishFAMILY customers may request this a la carte package of all Public Interest Channels with the understanding that it is at their own discretion.
