Dish Network Mt. Jackson Earth Station, Virginia

Dish Network was the second largest direct from satellite television and internet provider in the USA, with around 14 million subscribers, second only to DirecTV (formerly Hughesnet). It is shrinking though, losing out to the proliferation of cable. The Mount Jackson Maryland earth station is one of the few that are listed as being owned by Dish. Most of Dish’s content is uplinked from Echostar earth stations. Echostar was originally part of Dish, before Dish launched on its own in 2008.
