N. American Spanish sub package?

**DirectDishNet** · 11-23-2009 07:12 PM

Question was asked to me today if their is any Spanish language subscription packages available in N. America particularly in the Mid-West. This person specifically stated that she did not want Dish Network or Directv.

She can not get the Sky Mexico spot beam.
I checked with Globecast and they do not offer any Spanish language packages that I could find. Found on Galaxy 28 a sub package "
RedIntercable

" but I don't know if it can be sub'd here or not.

Tell her to get a C-band dish and watch tons of Spanish tv.

Hmmm the only services would be Sky Mexico and Dish Mexico but both are out of the spot beam in the NW.

Other than that, no other services but what DN/DTV offer.. unless check with local Cable Company

C-Band is out of the question....This is in a large apartment building. Dish will be mounted on a 4' X 8' patio.

I already installed Azteca for her neighbor a few day's ago but she wants a sub package. If she can't get a sub package, I'll talk her into Azteca/Televisa fta but at least I told her I would check tonight.

PS: There is no line of site for 30.0°W Hispasat 1C 1D

Why not? So what's the problem with DN and DTV?

Her best choice would be to subscribe to Dish or Directv with their Latino package, it's fairly cheap with a good amount of channels, from music to movie channels.

I mean:

She can't have C band
She can't have cable
She can't receive Sky/Dish México

LOL i don't think she has any more options, even having Sky/Dish from México would be illegal since they don't have a permit to comercialize their services in the US.

In any case I think DirecTV has the better picture quality of both DTH services.

Let us know what happens, now i am more intrigued than never on the outcome of this

If I had to guess I would say it's a credit issue......

Wow. No Spanish language OTA in the Davenport-Rock Island-Moline area... But you have RTV and what looks like MHZ Worldview.

Here, there are nearly as many or more Spanish channels as not... Not really, 10 english and 7 spanish...

The client ought to pledge the PBS affiliate and lay a guilt trip in order to get V-me.

I was gonna offer that you could plant a C-band dish on the roof, build a distribution system and sell the service to that client and any others in the building who are interested. But then, the client might not pay.....YOU....
