Dish Network‘s Pay TV services have the highest number of subscribers followed by HD customers and DVR subscribers.

Dish network subscriber dynamcisThe company’s Pay TV subscribers base is shrinking as U.S. consumers are cutting cords in favor of online streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, etc. To this end, Dish launched and is pushing its own streaming service, Sling TV, to compensate for the loss of Pay TV subscribers. This is the reason why the decline doesn’t look too intense at the moment. However, once Sling TV subscriber base saturates, continued decreases in Pay TV customers will take hold and the rapid decline will be more visible. For HD broadcast, the subscriber base has exhibited some stability, owing to the combined effect of people cutting cords and subscribing to better quality high definition content. And for DVR, steady growth in being driven by both increasing penetration on account of enhanced flexibility in TV viewing and the fact that Dish is bearing the upfront cost of equipment.
