DISH offers a wide range of TV plans for everyone. We particularly like America’s Top 200 ($112.99 monthly) because it includes several popular cable channels and costs a reasonable $0.47 per channel. (And, psssst—we’ve awarded DISH our Editor’s Choice award for best TV provider three years running.)
DISH channels
DISH has one of the most popular channel lineups out there, with 290+ channels—including 49 of the 50 most-watched channels according to Variety—and its price per channel ($0.42–$0.54 for most plans) is reasonable.

How can I get DISH to lower my bill?
The most direct way to get DISH to lower your bill is to call DISH customer retention at 866-970-0137. Tell them how long you’ve been a DISH customer and that you’re considering switching providers unless you can lower your bill. If you’re polite but firm, the rep can probably find ways to shave some bucks off of your bill.
