UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH) price target raised $1 to $30.

UBS analyst says, "DISH Network returned to subscriber growth in 4Q and mgmt suggested its top priorities are higher net activations and market share, along with increased ARPU, lower churn, better customer satisfaction and fewer customer calls. Higher take rates for premium channels and PPV movies should help boost ARPU growth in 2012E, despite the lack of price increases for monthly service packages, keeping net income flattish vs. 2011’s $1.3B (ex-TiVo litigation accrual reversal)."

UBS raises FY12 EPS from $2.78 to $2.95 and FY13 from $3.07 to $3.24.
