Dish Network Corp., the second-largest U.S. satellite-television provider, said third-quarter profit tripled, beating analysts’ estimates, after the company extracted more sales from existing customers.

Net income rose to $245 million, or 55 cents a share, from $80.6 million, or 18 cents, a year earlier, Englewood, Colorado- based Dish said in a statement today. Analysts in a Bloomberg survey projected 44 cents on average.
