DIRECTV HD vs DISH NETWORK HD

DIRECTV and DISH NETWORK have made getting HD extremely simple! All you have to do is add $10 to any package and you have HD. The charts below will show you what HD channels you get for the $10 fee. Of course the bigger standard packages will have more HD channels for $10, but you get the picture....

NOTE: I didn't include DISH Top 120 plus in the comparison, because it has the same HD channels as Top 120.

NOTE: I didn't include DISH Platinum HD in the comparison, because there are only 7 Platinum HD channels. The Platinum channels are HDNet Movies, NBA TV, MGM, NHL Network, Smithsonian, Universal and World Fishing Network. You can add Platinum HD to any package for $10.

NOTE: DISH America's Everything Pack already includes several HD channels without paying extra. Here are the channels 5 Star Max, Action Max, Cinemax, Fox Sports Rocky Mountain, HBO, HBO 2, HBO Comedy, HBO Family, HBO Latino, HBO Signature, HBO Zone, NBA TV, NHL Network, Showcase, Showtime, Showtime Too, Starz, Starz Comedy, Starz Edge, Starz Kids & Family, StarzTV and The Movie Channel.

Local Channels are usually available in HD. There is no extra charge for locals when you are subscribed to HD. However, you need to click the appropriate banner below and enter your zip code to find out what local HD channels are available in your area.
