Get your favorite DISH channels
DISH Network is our Editor’s Choice for best overall TV provider and the best TV provider for families for the past three years. The satellite TV service spreads 290+ channels across its TV packages: DISH Flex Pack, America’s Top 120, America’s Top 120+, America’s Top 200, and America’s Top 250. This guide covers DISH America’s Top 200 ($104.99 monthly)—the one we recommend because of its overall value (it has 240+ channels, despite its name). We show you every channel in the package, plus channel numbers, pricing, and ordering details.
DISH channel lineup
DISH America’s Top 200 has 49 of the top 50 most-watched channels according to Variety. The only missing top 50 channel is MeTV, but we marked it with an asterisk (*) anyway.
