The DISH on DISH

Being on the cutting edge helps us pave the way to an exciting future in media and entertainment.

DISH (Nasdaq: DISH), is the nation's third largest pay-TV provider and the leader in digital television. As a TV entertainment provider, we are an industry pioneer and innovator known for driving technology to bring the best entertainment to millions. Our recent acquisition of Blockbuster LLC will only enhance our ability to provide more entertainment services at a great value. We also believe that everything we do must begin and end with the customer experience.

Throughout our 30+ year history we have demonstrated our entrepreneurial spirit by achieving significant industry firsts. Here is a list of a few of our accomplishments:

• First to offer satellite receiver with built-in digital video recording
• First Satellite TV company to offer local channels to local markets in all 50 states
• First to offer an MPEG4 multi-room high definition and digital video recorder satellite receiver
• First nationwide installation network dedicated solely to satellite TV systems
• First to offer the only 100 percent, all-HD programming package
• First to offer high definition programming in 1080p
• First to offer digital to analog converter box with DVR functionality

Sustainability

Here at DISH, we make environmentally conscious decisions that both reduce our environmental footprint and our costs, which allows us to keep prices low for our customers.

We recycle about 500,000 pounds of material such as styrofoam, batteries, circuit boards and cardboard per week, about 57,200 pounds of foam and 728,000 pounds of batteries per year, and our Equipment Remanufacturing Department eliminates approximately 1,820 trash hauls to the landfill each year, which is equivalent to about $1 million dollars in cost savings.

Community Involvement

At DISH we believe one of the best ways to give back to the community is to provide high quality, stable employment opportunities to the people who live in our communities. DISH also supports numerous charities in the more than 150 local communities where we live and work.
