DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We make "forward-looking statements" throughout this prospectus, including the documents incorporated herein by reference. Whenever you read a statement that
is not simply a statement of historical fact (such as when we describe what we "believe," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "expect" or "anticipate" will occur, and other
similar statements), you must remember that our expectations may not be achieved, even though we believe they are reasonable. We do not guarantee that any future
transactions or events described in this prospectus will happen as described or that they will happen at all. You should read this prospectus in its entirety and with the
understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Whether actual events or results will conform with our expectations and
predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

Competition and Economic Risks Affecting Our Business

·
We face intense and increasing competition from satellite television providers, cable companies and telecommunications companies, especially as the pay-TV

industry has matured, which may require us to increase subscriber acquisition and retention spending or accept lower subscriber activations and higher
subscriber churn.

·
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.

·
Sustained economic weakness, including continued high unemployment and reduced consumer spending, 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.

·
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 Affecting Our Business

·
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 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 lose access to this programming, our gross new subscriber

activations may decline and subscriber churn may increase.

·
Our local programming strategy faces uncertainty because 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 could harm our business.

·
We currently depend on EchoStar Corporation and its subsidiaries, or EchoStar, to design, develop and manufacture all of our new set-top boxes and certain

related components, and to provide transponder capacity, digital broadcast operations and other services to us. Our business would be adversely affected if
EchoStar ceases to provide these

Table of Contents

products and services to us and we are unable to obtain suitable replacement products and services from third parties.

·
We operate in an extremely competitive environment and our success may depend in part on our timely introduction and implementation of, and effective

investment in, new competitive products and services, the failure of which could negatively impact our business.

·
Technology in our industry changes rapidly and our inability to offer new subscribers and upgrade existing subscribers with more advanced equipment could

cause our products and services to become obsolete.

·
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 sole 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 third parties to solicit orders for our services that represent a significant percentage of our total gross new subscriber activations.

·
We have limited owned and leased satellite capacity and failures or reduced capacity could adversely affect our 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 insurance for any of the in-orbit satellites that we use, other than certain satellites leased from third parties, and could

face significant impairment charges if one of our satellites fails.

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

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

Acquisition and Capital Structure Risks Affecting Our Business

·
Our parent, DISH Network, made a substantial investment to acquire certain 2 GHz wireless spectrum licenses and other assets from DBSD North America

Inc. ("DBSD North America") and TerreStar Networks, Inc. ("TerreStar"). DISH Network will need to make significant additional investments or partner
with others to commercialize these licenses and assets.

·
Our parent, DISH Network, made a substantial investment to acquire certain 700 MHz wireless spectrum licenses and will need to make significant additional

investments or partner with others to commercialize these licenses.

·
To the extent 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.

Table of Contents

·
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.

Legal and Regulatory Risks Affecting Our Business

·
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 involves regulatory risk.

·
Changes in the Cable Act, and/or the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") rules that implement the Cable Act, may limit our ability to access

programming from cable-affiliated programmers at non-discriminatory 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.

·
There can be no assurance that there will not be deficiencies leading to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

·
We may face other risks described from time to time in periodic and current reports we file with the SEC.

All cautionary statements made herein should be read as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they appear. Investors should consider the
risks described herein and should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity,
performance or achievements. We do not assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We assume no responsibility for
updating forward-looking information contained or incorporated by reference herein or in any reports we file with the SEC.

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this prospectus occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans
could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

You should read carefully the section of this prospectus under the heading "Risk Factors" beginning on page 12.

SUMMARY

In this prospectus, the words "we," "our," "us," "DISH DBS" and the "Company" refer to DISH DBS Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise
stated or the context otherwise requires. "DISH Network" refers to DISH Network Corporation, our ultimate parent company, and its subsidiaries, including us,
unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires. "EchoStar" refers to EchoStar Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or the context

"Risk Factors" and "Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

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 operate the DISH® branded pay-TV service, which had 14.092 million subscribers in the United States as of March 31, 2013.

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 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, or by certain trusts established by Mr. Ergen for the benefit of his family. Mr. Ergen is also the Chairman of EchoStar. EchoStar is our sole supplier of
digital set-top boxes and digital broadcast operations. In addition, EchoStar is a key supplier of transponder capacity and related services to us.

Our business strategy is to be the best provider of video services in the United States by providing high-quality products, 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 providers. We believe that there continues to be unsatisfied demand for high-quality, reasonably priced television programming services.

·
High-Quality Products. We offer a wide selection of local and national programming, featuring more national and local HD channels than most pay-TV

providers. We have been a technology leader in our industry, introducing award-winning DVRs, dual tuner receivers, 1080p video on demand, and external
hard drives. To maintain and enhance our competitiveness over the long term, we introduced the Hopper® set-top box that a consumer can use, at his or her
option, to view recorded programming in HD in multiple rooms. We recently introduced the Hopper set-top box with Sling, which promotes a suite of
integrated products designed to maximize the convenience and ease of watching TV anytime and anywhere, which we refer to as DISH AnywhereTM that
utilizes, among other things, online access and Slingbox "placeshifting" technology. In addition, the Hopper with Sling has several innovative features that a
consumer can use, at his or her option, to watch and record television programming through certain tablet computers and combines program-discovery tools,
social media engagement and remote-control capabilities through the use of certain tablet computers.

·
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.

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. 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, except as specifically described under the caption "Incorporation of
Certain Documents by Reference."

The Exchange Offer

The exchange offer relates to the exchange of up to $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 and up to
$1,100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.125% Senior Notes due 2020, for an equal aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes and the 2020
Notes, respectively. The form and terms of the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes are identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the corresponding
outstanding Old 2018 Notes and Old 2020 Notes, respectively, 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 2018 Notes that we have registered under the
Securities Act for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding Old 2018 Notes, and $1,000 principal amount
of our 2020 Notes that we have registered under the Securities Act for each $1,000 principal amount of
outstanding Old 2020 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 August 26, 2013, 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

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

validly tendered and exchanged will be retired and canceled.

The Notes

The exchange offer applies to $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 and $1,100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
5.125% Senior Notes due 2020. The form and terms of the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes are identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the
corresponding outstanding Old 2018 Notes and Old 2020 Notes, respectively, 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 respective indentures governing the Notes. 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
$1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018; and $1,100,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2020.

Maturity
For the 2018 Notes: April 1, 2018.
For the 2020 Notes: May 1, 2020.

Interest Payment Dates
For the 2018 Notes: semi-annually, on April 1 and October 1 of each year, starting on October 1, 2013.
For the 2020 Notes: semi-annually, on May 1 and November 1 of each year, starting on November 1, 2013.

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 debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. As of
March 31, 2013, after giving effect to the issuance of the Notes, the Notes would have ranked equally with
approximately $11.6 billion of our other unsecured debt.

Guarantees
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 debt of the guarantors
to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. 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 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes will be redeemable, in each case, in whole or in part, at any time at a
