"DISH Network Corporation (Nasdaq: DISH) today set the bar for the
next-generation HD standard by becoming the first in the industry to
offer high definition programming in 1080p, the highest and best HD
resolution available.
This new functionality is part of DISH Network's latest and
unprecedented expansion in high definition services, which includes the
rollout of TurboHD, the industry's first 100 percent, all-HD suite of
programming packages. As previously announced, DISH Network will also
launch 17 new national HD channels tomorrow, surpassing its goal of
reaching 100 national HD channels five months ahead of schedule. DISH
Network now offers up to 114 national HD channels and plans to expand
that line-up to 150 channels by the end of 2008, made possible by the
recent launch of Echo XI, the most powerful satellite in the company's
fleet.
