DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We make "forward-looking statements" throughout this prospectus (including the documents incorporated herein by reference), including, in
particular, statements about our plans, objectives and strategies, growth opportunities in our industries and businesses, our expectations regarding
future results, financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements, our estimates regarding the impact of regulatory developments and legal
proceedings, and other trends and projections. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts and may be identified by words such as "future,"
"anticipate," "intend," "plan," "goal," "seek," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "predict," "will," "would," "could," "can," "may," and similar
terms. These forward-looking statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this prospectus (or, in the case of a document
incorporated herein by reference, the date of such document) and represent management's views and assumptions as of such respective date.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, events or results and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors, which may be beyond our control. Accordingly, actual performance, events or results could differ materially from those expressed or
implied in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

Competition and Economic Risks

·
We face intense and increasing competition from satellite television providers, cable companies and telecommunications companies,

especially as the pay-TV industry has matured and bundled offers have become more prevalent, which may require us to further increase
subscriber acquisition and retention spending or accept lower subscriber activations and higher subscriber churn.

·
Changing consumer behavior and competition from digital media companies that provide or facilitate the delivery of video content via the

Internet may reduce our gross new subscriber activations and may cause our subscribers to purchase fewer services from us or to cancel
our services altogether, resulting in less revenue to us.

·
Economic weakness and uncertainty may adversely affect our ability to grow or maintain our business.

·
Our competitors may be able to leverage their relationships with programmers to reduce their programming costs and offer exclusive

content that will place them at a competitive advantage to us.

·
Our over-the-top ("OTT") Sling TV Internet-based services face certain risks, including, among others, significant competition.

·
We face increasing competition from other distributors of unique programming services such as foreign language and sports programming

that may limit our ability to maintain subscribers that desire these unique programming services.

Operational and Service Delivery Risks

·
If we do not continue improving our operational performance and customer satisfaction, our gross new subscriber activations may decrease

and our subscriber churn may increase.

·
If our gross new subscriber activations decrease, or if our subscriber churn, subscriber acquisition costs or retention costs increase, our

financial performance will be adversely affected.

·
Programming expenses are increasing and could adversely affect our future financial condition and results of operations.

·
We depend on others to provide the programming that we offer to our subscribers and, if we fail to obtain or lose access to this

programming, our gross new subscriber activations may decline and our subscriber churn may increase.

Table of Contents

·
We may not be able to obtain necessary retransmission consent agreements at acceptable rates, or at all, from local network stations.

·
We may be required to make substantial additional investments to maintain competitive programming offerings.

·
Any failure or inadequacy of our information technology infrastructure and communications systems, including without limitation those

caused by cyber-attacks or other malicious activities, could disrupt or harm our business.

·
We currently depend on EchoStar Corporation and its subsidiaries, or EchoStar, to design, develop and manufacture substantially all of our

new DISH branded pay-TV set-top boxes and certain related components, to provide the vast majority of our transponder capacity, to
provide digital broadcast operations and other services to us, and to provide streaming delivery technology and infrastructure for our Sling
TV services. Our business would be adversely affected if EchoStar ceases to provide these products and services to us and we are unable to
obtain suitable replacement products and services from third parties.

·
Technology in the pay-TV industry changes rapidly, and our success may depend in part on our timely introduction and implementation

of, and effective investment in, new competitive products and services and more advanced equipment, and our failure to do so could cause
our products and services to become obsolete and could negatively impact our business.

·
We rely on a single vendor or a limited number of vendors to provide certain key products or services to us such as information technology

support, billing systems, and security access devices, and the inability of these key vendors to meet our needs could have a material
adverse effect on our business.

·
Our primary supplier of new set-top boxes, EchoStar, relies on a few suppliers and in some cases a single supplier, for many components

of our new set-top boxes, and any reduction or interruption in supplies or significant increase in the price of supplies could have a negative
impact on our business.

·
Our programming signals are subject to theft, and we are vulnerable to other forms of fraud that could require us to make significant

expenditures to remedy.

·
We depend on independent third parties to solicit orders for our services that represent a significant percentage of our total gross new

subscriber activations.

·
We have limited satellite capacity and failures or reduced capacity could adversely affect our DISH branded pay-TV business.

·
Our owned and leased satellites are subject to construction, launch, operational and environmental risks that could limit our ability to

utilize these satellites.

·
We generally do not carry commercial launch or in-orbit insurance on any of the satellites that we use, other than certain satellites leased

from third parties, and could face significant impairment charges if any of our owned satellites fail.

·
We may have potential conflicts of interest with EchoStar due to our and DISH Network's common ownership and management.

·
We rely on key personnel and the loss of their services may negatively affect our business.

·
To the extent that our parent, DISH Network, commercializes its wireless spectrum licenses, it will face certain risks entering and

competing in the wireless services industry and operating a wireless services business.

·
We may pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to complement or expand our business that may not be successful and we may

lose up to the entire value of our investment in these acquisitions and transactions.

·
We may need additional capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all, to continue investing in our business and to

finance acquisitions and other strategic transactions.

·
We have substantial debt outstanding and may incur additional debt.

·
Our parent, DISH Network, is controlled by one principal stockholder who is also our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Legal and Regulatory Risks

·
A ruling in the Do Not Call litigation requiring us to pay substantial civil penalties and/or damages and/or enjoining us, whether acting

directly or indirectly through authorized telemarketers or independent third-party retailers, from certain activities could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

·
Our business depends on certain intellectual property rights and on not infringing the intellectual property rights of others.

·
We are party to various lawsuits which, if adversely decided, could have a significant adverse impact on our business, particularly lawsuits

regarding intellectual property.

·
Our ability to distribute video content via the Internet, including our Sling TV services, involves regulatory risk.

·
Changes in the Cable Act of 1992 ("Cable Act"), and/or the rules of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") that implement the

Cable Act, may limit our ability to access programming from cable-affiliated programmers at nondiscriminatory rates.

·
The injunction against our retransmission of distant networks, which is currently waived, may be reinstated.

·
We are subject to significant regulatory oversight, and changes in applicable regulatory requirements, including any adoption or

modification of laws or regulations relating to the Internet, could adversely affect our business.

Our business depends on FCC licenses that can expire or be revoked or modified and applications for FCC licenses that may not be

granted.

·
We are subject to digital high-definition ("HD") "carry-one, carry-all" requirements that cause capacity constraints.

·
Our business, investor confidence in our financial results, and DISH Network's stock price, may be adversely affected if our internal

controls are not effective.

·
We may face other risks described from time to time in periodic and current reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission,

or SEC.

DISH DBS Corporation

DISH DBS is a holding company and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DISH Network, a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq
Global Select Market. DISH DBS was formed under Colorado law in January 1996.

We offer pay-TV services under the DISH® brand and the Sling® brand (collectively "Pay-TV" services). The DISH branded pay-TV service
consists of, among other things, Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") licenses authorizing us to use direct broadcast satellite ("DBS")
and Fixed Satellite Service ("FSS") spectrum, our owned and leased satellites, receiver systems, third-party broadcast operations, customer service
facilities, a leased fiber optic network, in-home service and call center operations, and certain other assets utilized in our operations. The Sling
branded pay-TV services consist of, among other things, live, linear streaming over-the-top ("OTT") Internet-based domestic, international and
Latino video programming services ("Sling TV"). The Sling International video programming service (formerly known as DishWorld) was
launched prior to 2015, which historically represented a small percentage of our Pay-TV subscribers. During February and June 2015, we
launched our Sling domestic and Sling Latino services, respectively. In addition to these Sling TV services that may only be streamed on one
device at a time (single-stream services), on April 13, 2016, we launched a live beta multi-stream Sling domestic service, which includes, among
other things, the ability to stream on up to three devices simultaneously. During June 2016, our multi-stream Sling domestic service transitioned
from its introductory beta period and has been rebranded as Sling Blue. Meanwhile, we rebranded our single-stream Sling domestic service as
Sling Orange. All Sling TV subscribers are included in our Pay-TV subscriber count. As of June 30, 2016, we had 13.593 million Pay-TV
subscribers in the United States.

Our business strategy is to be the best provider of video services in the United States by providing products with the best technology, outstanding
customer service, and great value. We promote DISH branded programming packages as providing our subscribers with a better "price-to-value"
relationship than those available from other subscription television service providers. We believe that there continues to be unsatisfied demand for
high-quality, reasonably priced subscription television services.

·
Products with the Best Technology. We offer a wide selection of local and national high-definition ("HD") programming and are a

technology leader in our industry, offering award-winning DVRs (including our Hopper® whole-home HD DVR), multiple tuner
receivers, 1080p video on demand, and external hard drives.

·
Outstanding Customer Service. We strive to provide outstanding customer service by improving the quality of the initial installation

of subscriber equipment, improving the reliability of our equipment, better educating our customers about our products and services,
and resolving customer problems promptly and effectively when they arise.

·
Great Value. We have historically been viewed as the low-cost provider in the pay-TV industry in the U.S. because we seek to offer

the lowest everyday prices available to consumers after introductory promotions expire.

Table of Contents

As the pay-TV industry is mature, our strategy has included an increased emphasis on acquiring and retaining higher quality subscribers, even if it
means that we will acquire and retain fewer overall subscribers. We evaluate the quality of subscribers based upon a number of factors, including,
among others, profitability. Our Pay-TV subscriber base has been declining due to, among other things, this strategy. There can be no assurance
that our Pay-TV subscriber base will not continue to decline.

Our parent company, DISH Network, owns and operates certain assets and businesses that relate to our pay-TV business. For example, DISH
Network has made substantial investments to acquire certain wireless spectrum licenses and related assets and may from time to time seek to
acquire additional wireless spectrum licenses and related assets. DISH Network will need to make significant additional investments or partner
with others to, among other things, commercialize, build-out and integrate its licenses and related assets, and any additional acquired licenses and
related assets, and comply with regulations applicable to such licenses. Commercialization also may include the offering of wireless services
bundled with our Pay-TV services. In connection with the development of DISH Network's wireless business, including without limitation the
efforts described above, we have made cash distributions to partially finance these efforts to date and may make additional cash distributions to
finance in whole or in part DISH Network's future efforts.

In addition, our parent company, DISH Network, has made substantial non-controlling investments in the Northstar Entities and the SNR Entities,
which entities were granted certain AWS-3 wireless spectrum licenses (the "AWS-3 Licenses") by the FCC on October 27, 2015. DISH Network
may need to make significant additional loans to the Northstar Entities and to the SNR Entities, or they may need to partner with others, so that the
Northstar Entities and the SNR Entities may commercialize, build-out and integrate these AWS-3 Licenses, and comply with regulations applicable
to such AWS-3 Licenses. In connection with certain funding obligations related to these investments, in February 2015, we paid a dividend of
$8.250 billion to DISH Orbital Corporation ("DOC"), a direct subsidiary of DISH Network and our direct parent company, for, among other things,
general corporate purposes, which included such funding obligations, and to fund other DISH Network cash needs. We may make additional cash
distributions to finance in whole or in part loans that DISH Network may make to the Northstar Entities and the SNR Entities in the future related
to DISH Network's non-controlling investments in these entities.

On January 1, 2008, DISH Network completed the distribution of its technology and set-top box business and certain infrastructure assets (the
"Spin-off") into a separate publicly-traded company, EchoStar. DISH Network and EchoStar operate as separate publicly-traded companies and,
except for certain tracking stock that we hold in EchoStar and except for Sling TV Holding L.L.C., neither entity has any ownership interest in the
other. However, a substantial majority of the voting power of the shares of both DISH Network and EchoStar is owned beneficially by Charles W.
Ergen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and by certain trusts established by Mr. Ergen for the benefit of his family. Mr. Ergen is also
the Chairman of EchoStar. EchoStar is our primary supplier of digital set-top boxes and digital broadcast operations. In addition, EchoStar
provides the vast majority of our transponder capacity, is a key supplier of related services to us, and provides the streaming delivery technology
and infrastructure for our Sling TV services.

Our principal executive offices are located at 9601 South Meridian Boulevard, Englewood, Colorado 80112, and our telephone number is (303)
723-1000. Our filings with the SEC and those of DISH Network are accessible free of charge at www.dish.com. Other than the materials
specifically referred to below under "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference," none of the information or materials posted, contained or
referred to at www.dish.com is incorporated by reference in, or otherwise made a part of, this prospectus.

The Exchange Offer

The exchange offer relates to the exchange of up to $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes due 2026, for
an equal aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The form and terms of the Notes are identical in all material respects to the form and terms of
the outstanding Old Notes, except that the Notes will be registered under the Securities Act, and therefore they will not bear legends restricting
their transfer.

The Exchange Offer
We are offering to exchange $1,000 principal amount of our Notes that we have registered
under the Securities Act for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding Old Notes. Old Notes
tendered in the exchange offer must be in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount
and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. In order for us to exchange your Old
Notes, you must validly tender them to us and we must accept them. We will exchange all

outstanding Old Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn.

Resale of the Notes
Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to other
parties, we believe that you may offer for resale, resell and otherwise transfer your Notes
without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities
Act if you are not our affiliate and you acquire the Notes issued in the exchange offer in the
ordinary course.

You must also represent to us that you are not participating, do not intend to participate and
have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the
Notes we issue to you in the exchange offer.

Each broker-dealer that receives Notes in the exchange offer for its own account in exchange
for Old Notes that it acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities must
acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any resale of the Notes issued in the exchange offer. You may not participate
in the exchange offer if you are a broker-dealer who purchased such outstanding Old Notes
directly from us for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the
Securities Act.

Expiration date
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 3, 2016, unless
we decide to extend the expiration date. We may extend the expiration date for any reason. If
we fail to consummate the exchange offer, you will have certain rights against us under the
registration rights agreement we entered into as part of the offering of the Old Notes.

Special procedures for beneficial owners
If you are the beneficial owner of Old Notes and you registered your Old Notes in the name of
a broker or other institution, and you wish to participate in the exchange, you should promptly
contact the person in whose name you registered your Old Notes and instruct that person to
tender the Old Notes on your behalf. If you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior
to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your outstanding Old Notes,
either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the outstanding Old Notes in
your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer
of record ownership may take considerable time.

Guaranteed delivery procedures
If you wish to tender your Old Notes and time will not permit your required documents to
reach the exchange agent by the expiration date, or you cannot complete the procedure for
book-entry transfer on time or you cannot deliver your certificates for registered Old Notes on
time, you may tender your Old Notes pursuant to the procedures described in this prospectus
under the heading "The Exchange Offer--How to use the guaranteed delivery procedures if
you will not have enough time to send all documents to us."

Withdrawal rights
You may withdraw the tender of your Old Notes at any time prior to the expiration date.

Tax consequences
An exchange of Old Notes for Notes should not be subject to United States federal income tax.

The Notes

The exchange offer applies to $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2026. The form and terms of the Notes are
identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the outstanding Old Notes, except that the Notes will be registered under the Securities
Act, and therefore they will not bear legends restricting their transfer. The Notes will be entitled to the benefits of the indenture governing the
Notes (the "Indenture"). See "Description of the Notes." As used in this summary of the Notes, "subsidiaries" refers to our direct and indirect
subsidiaries.

Issuer
DISH DBS Corporation, a Colorado corporation.

Notes Offered
$2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2026.

Maturity Date
July 1, 2026.

Interest Payment Dates
Semi-annually, on January 1 and July 1 of each year, starting on January 1, 2017.
Interest will accrue from the most recent date through which interest has been paid, or if no
interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance of the Old Notes.

Ranking
The Notes will be our unsecured senior obligations and will rank equally with all of our current
and future unsecured senior debt and senior to all of our future subordinated debt. The Notes
will effectively rank junior to any of our existing and future secured obligations to the extent of
the value of the assets securing such obligations. As of June 30, 2016, after giving effect to the
issuance of the Notes, the Notes would have ranked equally with approximately $12.1 billion of
our other unsecured debt.

Guarantees by Our Subsidiaries
The Notes will be guaranteed by our principal operating subsidiaries on a senior basis. The
guarantees will be unsecured senior obligations of the guarantors and will rank equally with all
of the current and future unsecured senior debt of the guarantors and senior to all existing and
future subordinated debt of the guarantors. The guarantees will effectively rank junior to any
existing and future secured obligations of the guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets
securing such obligations. Neither DISH Network nor any of its subsidiaries, other than us and
our principal operating subsidiaries, will be obligated under the Notes or any guarantee of the
Notes. See "Description of the Notes--Brief Description of the Notes--The Guarantees."

Redemption
The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to
100% of their principal amount plus a "make-whole" premium, together with accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption date.

We may also redeem up to 35% of the Notes, at any time prior to July 1, 2019, at a purchase
price equal to 107.75% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, through the date of redemption with the net cash proceeds from certain equity
offerings or capital contributions. See "Description of the Notes--Optional Redemption."

Change of Control
If a Change of Control Event occurs, as that term is defined in "Description of the Notes--
Certain Definitions," holders of the Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to
require us to repurchase their Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date
of repurchase. See "Description of the Notes--

we must offer holders this repurchase right.

Certain Covenants
The Indenture contains covenants limiting our and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to, among
other things:

incur additional debt;

·
pay dividends or make distributions on our capital stock or repurchase our capital

stock;

·
make certain investments;

·
create liens or enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

·
enter into transactions with affiliates;

merge or consolidate with another company; and

·
transfer and sell assets.

These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions and in many
circumstances may not meaningfully restrict our ability to take any of the actions described
above. For more details, see "Description of the Notes--Certain Covenants." If the Notes
receive an Investment Grade rating, certain of the covenants in the Indenture will be subject to
suspension or termination. See "Description of the Notes-- Certain Covenants--Investment
Grade Rating."

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement between us and the initial purchaser, we agreed:

·
to file an exchange offer registration statement within 180 days of June 13, 2016;
