There are essentially two main providers of satellite programming. DISHnetwork, having been in business the longest and is the most well known, and DirecTV. However, there are other smaller providers, such as Voom and Pegasus, and they are gaining somewhat in market-share.
The nature of this competition means that both DISHnetwork and DirecTV have very similar types of satellite TV services and programming packages. It seems that both of these companies are constantly adding new features and bringing new innovations to the market in an attempt to outdo each other, as well as the up and coming TV satellite dish companies that want to join in the competition.
The DISHnetwork services are widely available both online through the corporate website and through local retailers. They do offer installation services on new equipment, unlike DirecTV, and often the company will run special promotions that allow new customers to get their basic satellite dish antenna and satellite TV receiver very inexpensively or completely free.
