It is the beginning of a whole new era of entertainment and possibilities in TV entertainment.

“With great power comes great responsibility.“- remember these words from Spiderman? That’s a quote which is true in every sphere of life. If one has the power to create an impact in an important domain as well as on the lives of millions of people, it has to take some major responsibilities as well. DISH Network, the leader in satellite TV entertainment services in the United States understands this very well and they strive to bring some improvement in their offering so that they can provide their viewers with high quality satellite TV entertainment and low cost DISH Network packages.

DISH Network has taken some industry advancing decisions and joined hands with numerous industry leaders to bring the best to its 14 million viewers.

TV Everywhere
The company has introduced TV Everywhere range of products, with the help of which, a viewer can stay connected to DISH TV anytime and anywhere. The TV Everywhere products include the revolutionary HD DuoDVR ViP922 that has recently been launched in the market.

Neulion Partnership to provide IPTV
The pay TV provider has also partners with Neulion to launch some of their international programming through IPTV. The pay TV provider is also looking forward to provide its own IPTV services in near future.

Drive against Piracy
To eradicate piracy, DISH TV has also taken some bold steps. It has partnered with Nagravision the global leader in content security. With the help of Nagravision they have also won a case against piracy.

Partnership with Google
DISH Network has joined hand with Google to bring satellite TV receivers that are equipped with android based operating system and Google search feature. This set top box will help DISH Network viewers to browse their favorite sites while watching TV.

New Satellite Launch
DISH Network has also launched a new satellite EchoStar XVI. With the launch the company is looking forward to offer greater number of HD channels that will set them as an industry leader.

With such industry advancing decision and agreements DISH Network is dutifully maintaining its position as an Industry leader. The company will continue to be a pioneer in satellite TV entertainment in near future.

Google, the global leader in public cloud computing and internet search technologies is all set to broaden its horizon and is trying to replicate the internet experience on television. The company has reportedly joined hands with Dish Network, a leading name in the satellite TV industry to perform a small test with the set top boxes provide by the pay TV provider. The test will add the android operating system of Google to the satellite TV set top boxes and enable a search feature in it. Through this feature a viewer can search the satellite TV content and at the same time can also search websites like YouTube with the help of a keyboard. Thus they can now enjoy videos from both satellite TV and the internet on their TV screen.

With this experiment, Google, the pioneering name in online search is looking forward to expand its reach to television, which is the main screen media present in most households of the nation. The inclusion of television as a mode of search adds another feather in the crown of the internet search giant.

When successfully incorporated the Google search facility of set top boxes will become a great source of revenue for the internet giant. When people will search for specific TV programs and video content via the internet on these boxes they will come across Google keywords and display ads from Google. This is sure to give the search and advertising companies a whole new platform to reach the consumers and know their preferences.

At present Dish Network has over 14 million customers across the nation and the number is increasing at a rapid rate. So, by enabling Google search feature on Dish Network Set top boxes the global leader in internet search can reach millions of customers at the time when they are not on their computer.

The search function of most top boxes of most satellite TV and cable TV provider are not up to the mark at present. Let alone searching online for video or torrent available online, most set top boxes cannot even offer a comprehensive search for the programming available with the satellite TV provider. Thus Google can help them improve the situation in a way through which it helps the major labels with online music videos.

Other than showcasing video contents from YouTube and a host of other video websites along with satellite TV programs the set top boxes will run Google Android Operating system. This operating system is also found in the Google phone. Just like the applications designed for iPhones work with iPad, the applications designed for Google android phones will suit the Google search enabled set top boxes from Dish Network and other satellite TV providers.

As a pioneering name in the satellite TV industry of the nation, Dish Network has always tried to engage itself in some of the industry advancing partnership. In the recent past they have included interactive TV multi-player gaming feature on satellite TV and joined hands with Neulion to provide the viewers with IPTV services. Dish Network also partnered with Rentrak Corporation to assess their set-top box data with the advanced media measurement tool of the later for the benefit of the TV and advertisement industry. The recent collaboration of the satellite TV provider with Google is also going to result into an industry-advancing decision.

In earlier months Dish Network has introduced TV Everywhere, a range of products that helps you watch your satellite TV programming on Laptop via internet or Wi-Fi connectivity. It has become the latest craze among the TV loving people. With the Google search enabled set top box at home, people can now enjoy just the opposite thing, enjoying internet facility on TV. With this, the major screen medias at home, i.e., TV and computer are coming full circle with each complementing the other.
