ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 30, 2005--EchoStar
Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:DISH) and its DISH Network
satellite TV service today unveiled a new feature that will give
customers the ability to watch six TV channels and use an interactive
menu, all at the same time. The mosaic of six networks and interactive
channels on DISH Home, Ch. 100, is a convenient way for subscribers to
watch and interact with their TV.

DISH Network pioneered the interactive mosaic -- six mainstream TV
channels integrated with interactive features -- during the 2004
Summer Olympics and again for the 2004 Presidential Elections.

DISH Network viewers can select windows of popular networks including
CNN, MSNBC, The Weather Channel, E! Entertainment, Bloomberg and Court
TV through DISH Home. Full-screen video with audio automatically
appears when viewers select a network window. Viewers can still go to
their favorite interactive channel for customer service, news,
shopping, sports, games and entertainment on DISH Home.
