The new channels will strengthen DISH Network’s position as the leader in HD programming. Avid fans in these seven markets will now have access to their home team’s games in vivid HD and stunning surround sound.

Eric Sahl, senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network, said:

Sports fans have been driving the HD movement for quite some time now so naturally we’re excited to offer regional coverage of games and sporting events in this amazing and graphic picture quality. Whether it’s baseball, basketball, football, college or professional, there’s no better way to watch all the action than in HD and DISH Network has a great sports lineup and the most national HD channels today.

The seven HD RSNs launched today include:

DISH Network will continue to explore carriage of additional HD RSNs throughout the year to enhance local HD programming line-ups. In addition to the seven RSNs announced today, DISH Network will begin offering Sun Sports and SportSouth this spring as well as Altitude this fall.

DISH Network offers customers an incredible value in HD sports programming including NFL Network HD, ESPN HD, ESPN2 HD, Rush HD, WorldSport HD, local HD networks in 29 markets and now these RSNs that will feature game-only content in HD. DISH Network also offers sports and HD enthusiasts a digital video recorder (DVR) to record their favorite programming and exciting sports moments, to control their own instant replay by pausing live TV and rewinding, as well as the ability to fast forward through time-outs, halftimes and commercials using a 30-second skip feature.
