DISH Network and DIRECTV International Programming

How can you bring the world into your living room? If you are interested in experiencing other cultures, you can access the planet right from your television set with Dish Network and DirecTV International Programming. The world’s largest providers of direct broadcast satellite (DBS) service are also your primary source for global connection.

Using powerful satellites orbiting the earth, Dish Network and DirecTV transmit international programming to millions of households. Digital satellite television was put into widespread use in the 1990’s. The first equipment consisted of an 18-inch satellite dish that received signals from one satellite location. Today’s improved receivers can pick up transmissions from two satellites simultaneously, and right now technology is being developed to allow viewers three or more satellite signals for even better picture and sound quality. Dish Network and DirecTV are gaining in popularity as more and more subscribers switch over from cable.

The international programming provided by Dish Network and DirecTV is expanding as well. Today, subscribers to international programming can watch anime and sumo wrestling from Japan; African music videos and cultural entertainment; classic shows and prime news programs from Russia; Greek reality shows and live soccer; and the finest programming from China, France, Armenia, Italy and much more. Dish Network and DirecTV also provide information channels for international programming and pay-per-view international movies, so you can experience your favorite flicks in other languages.

We have come a long way from “Around the World in 80 Days.” Today we can bring the world into our homes, in as much time as it takes to push a few buttons, courtesy of Dish Network and DirecTV international programming. With the entire planet at your disposal, who could ask for more?
