Over the past few days the nation suffered from natural calamity as the tornados devastated half of the United States including North Carolina (killed at least 45 people), Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Virginia and Mississippi and caused numerous casualty.

Hundreds of tornados (more than 240 tornadoes) were reported in the storm system that hit the country over past few days. The homes broke apart, trees snapped and livestock were swept into the air. Though the situation is coming to normal gradually, the ravages of the storm and its psychological effect are still fresh in the mind of the nation. We at The American DISH TV are always there beside the people of the nation in their hard time!

The experts have predicted that this year we may experience some more dangerous storm systems along with tornados and thunderstorm in coming days. Here, it can also be added that they have also indicated that this year we might have an unusually active hurricane season.

So, you should keep yourself updated in order to stay safe. The news channels like CNN, ABC News, FOX News, NBC and CBS News are there to give you a minute by minute update about the storms. There is also the Weather channel that will offer you detailed weather forecast.

During the stormy weather it is also better to invest on satellite TV as they can offer you better coverage. The cable TV operates through cables and if the cable breaks in one place due to storm, a vast area has to go without TV. How can you get the updates about the storm then? The satellite TV, on the other hand is not dependent on cable but on the satellite dish that is securely installed in your place, so you can get every minute update about the storm or bad weather.

And when it comes to satellite TV, DISH Network happens to be the natural choice. So, subscribe to DISH Network today to get updated knowledge about the weather and natural calamities that are taking place around you. This will also help you in keeping your near and dear ones safe.

Hey folks! Are you ready for the 2011 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship game- the climax of March Madness? Oh yeah! So watch NCAA Men’s Basketball 2011 Championship game: Butler vs. UConn live from Reliant Stadium, Houston tonight at 9:23pm ET on  CBS. It is going to be a great match!

Tonight at 2011 NCAA men’s basketball tournament National championship, No. 8 Butler (28-9) will face No. 3 Connecticut Huskies (31-9). It is sure to be an interesting game. Before the final face off, UConn has a 10 game winning streak while the Bulldogs have a 14 game winning streak.

Butler is a team which not even the experts expected would make it to final four 2011. But they did and played brilliantly to beaten Virginia Commonwealth, 70-62. Thus they have punched its ticket into its second consecutive national championship game! It is probably one of the most fantastic, unbelievable Cinderella stories in NCAA history!

Now, before you look at the 2011 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Scores, let us take a quick look at the strong and weak points of both the teams so that we can get an idea about who can win 2011 NCAA Basketball Championship.

Frontcourt: with Matt Howard and Andrew Smith starting and Khyle Marshall coming from the bench Butler has solid strength.

Backcourt: UConn junior point guard Kemba Walker is the best player in this area whereas, freshman Jeremy Lamb continues to contribute in scoring. Butler’s Shelvin Mack, on the other hand has a tendency for making the big play. Shawn Vanzant is the best three-point shooter in the team.

Bench: Shabazz Napier for UConn, Ronald Nored for Butler will offer the much needed support to the players and to contribute in scoring and rebounding.

Coaches: Brad Stevens and Jim Calhoun both are ace coaches. However, Calhoun has 2-0 edge in title games and he has been to three Final Fours.

Intangibles: Howard’s energy and determination allows the Butlers to win close games. There are some finer features that allowed the team to make it to two consecutive NCAA National Championships.

If you look at the factors closely, you will get the vibe that tonight’s 2011 NCAA Basketball Championship game is going to be a tough one. So the basketball fans will have loads of good time. So guys! Watch out for NCAA Men’s Basketball Title Game 2011: Butler vs. UConn tonight on CBS. It is sure to be fun!

Are you looking forward to a romantic date tonight? Oh c’mon! Its Valentine’s Day after all! Love is in the air…You got to do something special with your loved ones. Even I am going out (…well, James asked me out! And I am super-excited!). But before I go, let me tell you about a show that will surely bring romance back  in your life – the show is called Mad Love which premieres tonight on CBS.

Those who are planning to stay at home to be with their loved ones can enjoy this series premiering tonight at 8:30 PM ET.

‘Mad Love’ is the new romantic comedy in the block that revolves around a quartet of New Yorkers. Two of them have fallen in love with each other and the other two despise each other at least for now. Meet Ben, a lawyer and a hopeless romantic who meets Kate a beautiful, smart girl whom Ben thinks is the woman of his dreams on top of the Empire State Building.

Larry is Ben’s unrefined best friend and co-worker. Larry, for once and for all, doesn’t believe in love. He also has a long record of being the third wheel in this relationship.

Connie, on the other hand is Kate’s roommate. Connie works as a nanny and she finds Larry irritating… or does she? Trust us or not Larry and Connie have number of things in common. But they cannot let their guard down to figure those common things out. But once they do, may be the third wheel will get a pair and the carriage will run smooth on the road of love.

Sounds a lot like ‘How I met Your Mother’? Well, Jason Biggs looks similar to Josh Radnor and then there is also Sarah Chalke and the plot too looks a lot similar. But as I love watching HIMYM, I will not mind watching the same magic working for this new CBS comedy series either.

With that note I would love to wish all you TV lovers a Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at American DISH Blog – it’s your love that keeps us going!

Who will be the 2011 Grammys Winners in most prestigious categories? You need to watch the Live telecast of 53rd Annual Grammy Awards or 2011 Grammy Awards on CBS to know it. However, one thing is guaranteed – You will have loads of fun.

Hey NFL fans! This Sunday is surely the most important Sunday prior to the Super Bowl this year. Tomorrow we will welcome the AFC champion 2011. Yes, The AFC Championship game 2011 is to air this Sunday.

This time the match will be between two tough teams which have faced each other. So get ready for AFC Championship game 2011: New York Jets vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday at 6.30 PM ET. Watch out for the match on CBS.

This Sunday, the New York Jets will face the Pittsburgh Steelers once again in the Heinz Field. Earlier in the regular season they have defeated the Steelers in the 2^nd half. The championship game also may have similar results only with the Jets winning the game more comfortably.

The Jets took a much difficult road to reach the AFC championship game. They secured a win against the Indianapolis Colts (#3 ranked AFC team) and the #1 team in the NFL – New England Patriots. On the other hand, the Steelers had a relatively easy path, by beating the overrated Baltimore Ravens team.

The Jets will be playing De Ellis and a number of other players who were down with injuries. But whom we are all looking forward to watch it Bart Scott who has said “Can’t Wait” when asked about this match.

Many expect the Jets vs Steelers matchup to be a defensive battle but things might not be what they seem. Both the teams have scored more than 25 points in the AFC Divisional games so we should see point coming.

Jets vs Steelers 2011 AFC Championship game prediction foresees a Jet win. So get ready to watch AFC Championship game 2011: Jets vs. Steelers Sunday at 6.30 PM ET on CBS. Watch out for it! (I know I should be impartial but…Jet Set Go!)
