Thinking of taking the plunge into HDTV? Did you know that Dish Network has more available HD programming than any other satellite operator or cable company? It’s true. Dish Network offers over 1700 hours a week of high definition programming on a myriad of channels. With deals on HD packages starting at just $39.99 per month, it is also one of the least expensive ways to amp up your high definition entertainment.
Like movies? Don’t invest in one of those super-expensive HD-DVD players just yet (or the super-expensive HD DVDs to go along with it). Dish Network has HBO HD, Starz HDTV, Showtime HD and CinemaYes HD to provide a constant stream of the newest releases in HD movies at a tiny fraction of the cost of investing in HD-DVD hardware.

Many people wonder if they can get satellite tv in their apartment. If you have your own balcony, yard, terrace etc as part of your apartment dwelling, you are legally permitted by an FCC law to install a dish and get satellite tv. The full fcc satellite for apartments law is here. If your apartment or condo association is giving you trouble, refer them to the FCC law.
However, there are some provisions when this is not true. For instance, in a historically preserved building or when a dish might be a safety hazard (although I can’t really think of how a dish on a balcony could be a saftely hazard very often).
If your apartment or condo does not have an appropriate outdoor area that is part of your rental property, it is at the landlords discretion whether they will allow you to install a dish on their property (on the roof, yard, or a common area balcony etc).
I you want to order Dish Network for your apartment, or need any help clarifying the rules, call 1-866-580-8713 and we are happy to help!
