HLN, formerly known as CNN Headline News, is a cable news television network that is owned by CNN. This guide is for any Dish Network user interested in knowing what channel number HLN is on.
HLN Coverage
HLN focuses on news, crimes, mystery, investigations, events, and programs. Some of the most popular programs are Morning Express with Robin Meade, Forensic Files, and Nancy Grace. Therefore, if you love watching news events and other related events such as crime shows, then you need HLN on your Dish plan.
Locating HLN in Dish Networks
Another important feature of the channel is that its number can vary depending on the Dish Network package you use. Here is where to find HLN on some of Dish's most popular plans:
- America’s Top 120/200/250: Channel 204
- America's Everything Pack: Channel 204
- Dish LATINO Plus/Dos/Max: Channel 840
- Dish Family: Channel 363
Therefore if you are lucky to have any of the Dish Network package, you can switch to the channel numbers mentioned above in order to get HLN.
What If One Does Not Catch HLN?
If HLN is not included in your current Dish plan or you can't find it on the channel lineup, you have a couple options:
1. Upgrade Your Package
The only way to receive HLN is to switch to a package such as America’s Top 120/200/250, America’s Everything Pack, DishLATINO Plus, or DishFAMILY. All these plans thus incorporate HLN in their list of channels. Once you upgrade, you will be able to watch HLN on the channel numbers we have discussed above.
2. HLN a La Carte
However, if you do not want to upgrade your whole TV package, it is possible to subscribe to HLN as an a la carte channel. Dish offers some of these channels individually at $5-$15 per month. It is usually around $5 to subscribe to HLN monthly. All you have to do is dial the Dish customer service number at 1-877-471-DISH (4808) and request them to activate HLN a la carte.
Where to Look for HLN on Your Channel List
You can also tune to the channel if you already have HLN with your Dish subscription through the on-screen guide. Just follow these steps:
- Switch on your Dish TV and get set for the game with your remote at hand.
- Select the Guide button. This leads to the display of your on-screen channel list.
- If you are subscribed to a package such as America’s Top 120+, tuning to channel 204 is possible. Or tune in to channel 363 for DishFAMILY, 840 for DishLATINO options, and so on.
- When you have identified HLN in the guide, press select on your remote to go directly to that channel.
In this case you will be able to follow all your favorite HLN shows through Dish Network.
That will be all for the basic information on how to search for the HLN channel on Dish. This guide can be used for help if you wish to add it to your plan or if you wish to tune to the channel. Have fun with the latest headlines and true crime stories on HLN!
