Frank Caliendo is not only one of the funniest comedians out there, but also his incredible talent offers DISH Network with a creative and entertaining way to communicate to consumers why we offer the best TV viewing experience of any pay-TV provider. These ads are not only humorous, but they also bring awareness to the fact that DISH Network is more than TV — it offers the best DVRs and HD programming, and allows consumers to control what they want to watch and when they watch it — all for the same unparalleled value DISH Network is known for.

As part of the campaign, DISH Network features the introduction of its new products while:

• Freezing the price on the most popular programming packages
• Three months free on any qualifying programming package
• Free activation and the Dish Home Protection Plan free for up to 9 months

Altogether, DISH Network is offering a savings of up to $200. The standalone HD package features more than 40 HD channels for the low price of $29.99 per month. Sign up for DISH Network from DISH Deals Direct and we’ll add free installation to these already great deals.

We reported earlier this month about a study on DVR usage by Palisades MediaGroup and The Nielsen Company. Here’s some more findings from the study.

The study found, on average, DVR owners watch almost 75% of all programs recorded within 24 hours. The company analyzed Fall 2007 Nielsen Company data, finding that less than half of DVR users skipped ads during playback.

Within 3 days, over 90% of all time-shifted primetime television programming had been viewed. Thus, DVR usage isn’t making a significant impact on ratings — at least not yet. According to Susie Thomas, Senior Vice President, Director of Research and Insights at Palisades MediaGroup:

Nielsen estimates DVR penetration to be at 20%, up from 12% in January of this year [2007]. While this is a good-sized increase, the impact on viewership remains minor.

What’s surprising is that viewing in DVR households varies by programming type. Syndicated (full day) and Cable (primetime) programs are watched live 84% and 85% of the time, respectively, compared to just 58% of the time for Broadcast (primetime) television. Those numbers increase to 93% and 94% for Cable and Syndicated programming when viewing is “live and same day”. For Broadcast TV, “live and same day” viewing is still lower, coming in at 79%.

It’s interesting that there’s so much live Cable and Syndicated program viewing in DVR households as opposed to Broadcast (primetime) television. What’s remarkable is the lack of commercial skipping reported.
