DISH Network Expands High Definition Programming Lineup to 31 Channels

The Sopranos on A&E HD Now Available to DISH Network Customers

EchoStar Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: DISH) and its DISH Network™ satellite TV service today announced the launch of A&E HD, a high definition simulcast of the network’s blockbuster lineup.

“The exciting addition of A&E HD helps further complement DISH Network’s industry-leading suite of high definition programming,” said Eric Sahl, senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network. “We are pleased to be the first national provider of A&E HD, bringing our total national HD channel offering to 31 channels – the most comprehensive in the pay-TV industry.”

“Now DISH Network subscribers can see their favorite A&E programs such as Gene Simmons Family Jewels, The First 48, CSI: Miami and The Sopranos in the sharp, high-resolution detail of HDTV,” said David Zagin, Executive Vice President, Distribution, AETN. “As we continue our expansion in the digital marketplace, we are pleased to begin offering A&E programming in HD to DISH Network customers.”

January 2007 was a record-setting month for A&E, becoming the most-watched month in network history across all key demos. Versus all ad-supported cable networks, A&E ranked number four in adults 25-54 and number five in adults 18-49, for the month. This marks the sixth consecutive month in which A&E landed in the top 10 among both key demographics.

A&E HD is located on DISH Network Channel 9419 and is available to customers who subscribe to the DishHD programming package ($20 add-on to the base programming package).

Also starting today, new DISH Network customers can profit from the revolutionary DishDVR Advantage package, an all-inclusive TV package including over 200 channels, local channels where available, a state-of-the-art DVR serving two TVs and free standard professional installation with no extra fees for one low price of $49.99 before promotions. For only $20 more a month customers can customize their DishDVR Advantage plan with DishHD. Additionally, DISH Network’s highly acclaimed two-room ViP622 HD DVR is now available for free to new customers.
