Your Guide to Hindi Channels on DISH Network
Table of Contents
If your family is from India, there’s nothing like a good dose of Hindi television entertainment to bring you back to your roots.
There are 4.9 million Indian-Americans in the United States. People with connections to India form the second-largest immigrant group. So it’s no surprise that Hindi programming is very popular!
DISH Network can provide you with all the Hindi movies, nostalgia and news you crave. Even though premium channels like HBO and Showtime have some international programming available, they can’t compare to an afternoon spent watching Good Afternoon Gujarat.
DISH Network offers more than one DISH TV package, so you can add programming that matches your TV needs. You can get a blend of English and Hindi programming, or a greater balance toward one or the other. International TV is more accessible than ever.
Start by choosing one core DISH TV package, whether that’s an English-language package or a DISH International package in Hindi or any other language. Then you can add on a Hindi package to your chosen base package.
