DISH channel lineup FAQ

How much is the basic DISH package?
Flex Pack, DISH’s channel-skinny base package, starts at $37.99 per month. It features 50 channels, a mix of popular networks and fillers that DISH will not-so-gently suggest you beef-up with an add-on package—because what’s another $10 on top of 38 bucks? Flex isn’t fully-loaded, but it’s one of the cheapest deals in satellite TV.

How much does it cost to add HBO® to a DISH package?
HBO and DISH aren’t getting along these days, so you can’t add the service for any price. Not having HBO available as an add-on isn’t as big a deal as it was years ago, however, thanks to stand-alone streaming service HBO NOW ($15 per month).

DISH itself even referred disgruntled customers to HBO NOW for 2019’s highly anticipated Game of Thrones finale. Ouch.

What sports channels are available on DISH?
DIRECTV is generally thought of as the more sports-centric satellite TV brand, but DISH also offers a fair amount of ballin’ action. A few of the sports channels DISH carries include the following:

ESPN
ESPN2
NFL Network
NBA TV
MLB Network
NHL Network
FOX Sports 1
FOX Sports 2
FOX Soccer Plus
CBS Sports Network
beIN Sports
Pac-12 Network

What movie channels are available on DISH?
While you can’t get HBO on DISH (yes, HBO still runs movies), it still carries plenty of channels for film buffs. DISH’s movie channels lineup and add-on packages include these favorites:

SHOWTIME (6 channels)
STARZ (8 channels)
STARZ ENCORE (7 channels)
The Movie Channel (2 channels)
EPIX (4 channels)FXM
IFC
SundanceTV
HDNet
MoviePlex
IndiePlex
RetroPlex

What kids’ channels are available on DISH?

Disney Channel
Disney Jr.
Disney XD
Boomerang
Nickelodeon
Nick Jr.
Nicktoons
Cartoon Network
