By now you've probably heard about the digital television switch in February 2009 and you've bought that nice high-definition television. Digital TVs offer improved picture and sound compared to old-fashioned analog TVs. The digital signal will make your TV look good, but unless you're getting high-definition programming, you're not taking advantage of your TVs full capabilities and you're simply driving a Ferrari on side streets.

After you get your TV home and set up, you need to subscribe to a provider that has HD programming. For example, DISH Network's TurboHD is the only 100 percent HD service, giving you every channel in crystal-clear, high definition.

TurboHD uses cutting-edge technology to stream more data to your satellite receiver at a faster image processing rate, which results in a superior picture and sound for all your home television viewing.

You can also take advantage of superior audio with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound that TurboHD delivers straight to your home theater system. Additionally, DISH Network presents groundbreaking technology with Video on Demand (VOD) in 1080p - the same display resolution as Blu-Ray Disc quality. You won't find that with any other provider.

New, 1st-time DISH Network customers are eligible for great 100 percent HD packages starting at only $24.99 a month -- that's over 40 HD channels at one low price. Channels include ESPNHD, ESPN2HD, Discovery Channel HD, TBS in HD and much more! With over 100 HD channels available and 150 projected by the end of the year, you can expect a lot of choices when it comes to sports, movies and news.
