    Dish VS Univision/Galavision/Telefutura

    I was a Dish customer since their first year and believe me that about half of their early subscribers were because of their International programming. I live in California and Latino people either had Cable or Dish, no Directv. However lately I have seen a big push by Directv to attract...

    Dish VS Univision/Galavision/Telefutura

    I have already switched because of GolTV Well I have already switched because of GolTV being pulled. Dish cannot be dropping channels that Direct TV keeps or they will lose many more viewers. Dish used to be the programming of choice for Latino channels but Direct Tv has caught up with them...

    About to switch to D* from E*, but have some doubts. Convince me!

    No, it is not the same I tried that. All it does is bring only the sports channels you already have in the current particular favorite list. For example I do not have all the Regional Sports Channels in any of my favorite lists. However I would like to know what sports are on right now and...

    I got the Sports Pack mostly for FSC as I am a big Soccer fan. I already had GolTV through the Latino Programming or else that would be my reason also. I also picked up Setanta and love it with all these World Cup Qualifying games. I switched to Direct TV from Dish Network because Dish...

    About to switch to D* from E*, but have some doubts. Convince me!

    Stay with E* I subscribe to both. I have been a E* customer for about 10 years. However they recently had a dispute with GolTV and dropped it. I am a huge Soccer fan and GolTV has exclusive rights to Spanish and German soccer. I decided I would switch to D*. First and foremost the...

    HD DVR Question

    I am very disappointed with the HR22. I just switched from Dish Network to Direct TV mainly because Dish dropped GolTV but I am horrified by this HD DVR. With Dish I could even watch two programs in PIP and swap between them. The Dish HD DVR also was more intuitive and easier to schedule and...

    Sacramento HD Locals problem....

    I already have an antenna that came with my old Voom service but the pre-amp is messed up. I think I can just pick up a pre-amp at Radio Shack and that should work with my antenna. My antenna is square in size about 3ft x 4ft. I think it is a channel master.

    2 New Channels added

    You are right in that Hispanics adopt new technologies slower than others but they eventually do as is the case with computers and broadband. First generation hispanics in the US will not care much for HD but as we get into further hispanic generations in the US the language and economic...
