Does anyone know if EuroNews is now really active and available? I know it was postponed and scheduled for Dec 5 launch...I called and talked with 4 different tech. CSRs and none of them could give me the real answer...for most, it took forever to pull/find the channel and then some only found it as the part of International packages, now they added a note on my account and told me to call each week to check on it?!!

All I am interested is "a-la-carte" option in English and to know how much and how to get it. I saw posting listing price range from $1.99 to $20.

Also I know that with Dish 1000 (110/119/129) I need to find the way to "see" 61.5/118.7 or 148 in order to get EuroNews so what is the better option: to go with the second dish or try to get Dish 1000+ (off which most of CSRs did not know anything about). Finally how much this usually would cost to install?

Thanks.
 
kenny911: Thanks for the pricing info.

dfecarter: Yes, EuroNews is offered in English. The channel comes from Europe and it is actually available in 6 different languages at the same time (English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Russian). The channel number differs depending from the satellite you get it. More info here:

Now...up until now I did not have a lot of luck in getting more info from E*'s CSR hence my posting.

Make sure you get the dish that points to your language. They put 148 on my house and the German track is on 118.7 :mad:

For German they should have pointed you to the 61.5 or 121. Call & complain that they fix it.
 

Is there such thing called "Receiver Installation" fee for 622?
