NEW YORK: Dish Network, the satellite television service provider, has introduced Dish World IPTV, a new service that distributes Dish Network’s international programming via broadband to the television without the need for a satellite dish.
For consumers who live in apartment buildings, high rises or dormitories, or are otherwise unable to receive satellite service, the new Dish World IPTV service offers a simple solution to view Dish Network’s international programming lineup.
The service works by delivering programming to the television through a small, plug-and-play set top box that uses a home’s broadband Internet connection instead of a satellite antenna. Ordering is completed through the dishworldiptv.com website and the set top box is mailed directly to the customer.
The option is particularly ideal for customers who live in urban areas with apartment buildings and condos, or college dormitories and buildings that currently do not offer a choice of programming providers, as well as customers who move frequently.
“Dish Network is not only the leader in international programming, but also a leader in innovation, and we’re proud to be able to deliver an option that ensures that anyone in the United States will have access to our international channels, no matter where they live,” said Chris Kuelling, Vice President of International Programming for Dish Network.
“With the launch of our IPTV service, we are significantly expanding our reach and offering South Asians a “plug-and-play” solution.” The service will offer a broad range of international programming options, beginning Sept 24 with Hindi and Urdu programming.
Channels include aapka Colors, B4U Movies, B4U Music, SET Max, Aaj Tak, Headlines Today, Sahara Samay and Sahara One, as well as GEO TV and ARY Digital, all available exclusively through Dish Network.
