DISH Network or Satellite TV works by receiving signals from a satellite that orbits the earth about 22,300 above the equator. The frequency of signals that this dish satellite network uses are the Ku-band and Ka-Band. The Ku-band (Kurtz Under Band) includes services such as educational programs, live sports events and other backhauls, news feeds, mobile truck feeds, international programming, business networks, teleconferences, and single channel per carrier (SCPC) analog audio transmissions and FM audio services. The Ka-Band (pronounced kay-a-band) is the Kurz Above Band. The Ka Band is often used more for high speed internet rather than satellite tv service.

The most popular satellite tv providers are DISH Network and Direct TV. DISH Network provides advanced digital satellite television giving the consumer access to hundreds of channels. DISH Network offers over 200 HD channels. HD is free for life for DISH Network customers. Google tv is another part of technology that comes with DISH Network satellite tv service.
