    KoreanDirect launches today on DirecTV

    Great Korean Channels! Just found it today looking at the channel list. This is great news! Thanks Direct TV for the fine Korean channels you brought us. We left Dishnetwork because of the poor Korean channels they offered...mostly the religious channels. Thank goodness we switched to Direct TV.

    SBS (Korean channel)

    I want to subscribe to Direct TV around March 1st, any idea what kind of dish I will need for the Korean channel? I used to have Dishnetwork and had two dishes, does Directv use only one? I also have an HD antenna now and would like to keep it for my local channels, is this possible? Do I have...

    Removing Dish From Roof ???

    I removed the dish only and left the mounts in case you ever want to go with D*. I was like you, got tired of losing channels and raising prices. I hear that the next price increase is Feb 1st. They will send you an empty box with instructions so you can mail the receivers and LNB , remotes back...

    Premium channel recommendation

    I had HBO, Showtime and Max some years ago and got sick of all the repeats. Now I rent all the latest DVD's from Blockbuster for $25 a month. Believe me, these so called Movie channels are not what they are cracked up to be..you'll soon find out! I was watching movie that were 20 years old for...

    Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network off Dish due to contract dispute

    Dish Network...Bad, Bad, Bad They did the same thing to SBS (Korean Channel) on October 1st. I waited two months for them to do something positive about a replacement channel but all dishnetwork did was replace it with finance and religious programs. I finally took down the dish and cancelled...

    Looking for a Korean satellite provider

    I would like to know if there is any way to receive Korean tv channels such as SBS, KBS,and MBC all together using a dish other than Direct TV or Dish Network?

    SBS Korea Takedown October 1, 2005

    Kbs I'm like everyone else, I don't want JSTV or WOW. Can I get just KBS alone for a cheaper price without going to another dish? I would be will to pay up to $15 a month just for KBS but sure don't like having it in a package with JSTV and WOW for $29.95 - that's a total rip-off. I already...

    SBS Korea Takedown October 1, 2005

    Korean channels If Dish Network thinks this programming is new and exciting as they advertise then why don't they just drop HBO, MAX, showtime and all the other premium channels and just go to an all Dish Network religious and news satellite service. Do you think they would continue in...

    SBS Korea Takedown October 1, 2005

    I have a Dish 500 and another dish for the Korean channels, what exactly is a SuperDish? Do they replace all your dishes or just one? Sorry to be so stupid on this matter but I don't keep up with all the new tech updates. Are you saying that I will only need one dish instead of two? Thanks...

    Korean programming

    My wife is very unhappy about the lose of SBS and the replacement JSTV. For $36.99 a month we get about $10 worth of programming. The new religious channel is a waste, KBS World is so far a flop as for as dramas go and MBN is a total waste, that leaves Arrang and looks like we will only pay for...

    JSTV Info

    JSTV is not what the Korean Americans want on their Korean programming. They want Korean dramas. The Korean dramas is what all the Korean grocery stores tape and rent out for .50 a tape. They never tape religious programming. My wife watched SBS and KBS America along with Arrang channel for over...
