For the sake of one channel, no sane person would buy the $180 Globecast brand new equipment! Again, that's a very piss poor excuse for not doing any research for $60 used Globecast equipment. Of course, such research should be done months before the EPL season began. I did mine last summer, in...

That is not true. Western South America (Chile, Peru) has the same longitude as Eastern U.S., but they cannot receive Dish Network signals either, because Dish signals are spot beam to Conus, with only a little spillover to Mexico and Canada. That said, I have heard of people in Venezuela...

I really don't understand you guys. You are scrambling to get Setanta Sports. You are a Dish Network sub. Yet you whine about why it's impossible to switch to DirecTV. You even ponder the possibility of watch Setanta over your broadband (ITVN). Yet Setanta can be had a la carte, with just a...

You would be very disappointed by Setanta. Setanta's commentators for the World Cup are probably very knowledgeable about fussball, but they'll deliver it in German. ESPN/ABC owns the English rights in the U.S. Setanta owns many other languages, and they choose to broadcast the German one...

Ooops, me bad. I subbed to Dish 6 years ago, and my knowledge to Dish is still at the SWxx, Dish 500, dual LNB level... I haven't kept up with the latest and greatest equipment from Echostar, since I am subbing to Starchoice right now...

Check out Ebay, an SW44 costs as low as $32 for "buy it now", plus $13 shipping. If I were you, I would rather have eaten the cost of the SW44, bought it from Ebay, and got this thing over with, instead of spending 3 months arguing with Dish Network over the phone... You have been paying for...

I've watched games involving ALL the SPL teams. All the teams you mentioned, I've watched in SPL coverage: Aberdeen X Celtic, Aberdeen X Rangers Hearts X Celtic, Hearts X Rangers Dundee United X Celtic, Dundee United X Rangers Kilmarnock X Celtic, Kilmarnock X Rangers Hibernian X Celtic...

I would be very ticked if ESPN shows both games on the semi-final. I pay $12/month for Setanta USA exactly for the privileges of watching Barcelona X Milan that you guys can't watch it for free on ESPN2 (after paying your cable bill). If Setanta charge us $12/month but everyone with basic...

Setanta USA doesn't have EPL rights for the U.S. They only have the rights on re-run Man U and Chelsea games thru' MUTV and Chelsea TV, via a deal stuck with Fox Sports International. They have the rights of Rangers and Celtic games in the U.S. They air these two teams live in the weekends...

If you guys are so desperate for Setanta, why don't you get DirecTV? Oh, yes, you are committed to Dish Network, and you hate DirecTV, so you would rather have no Euro soccer (especially Sky commentary of both legs of Barcelona X AC Milan) than subscribe to your hated DBS. Of course, we all...

By "world sports", it means worldwide sports, not the Voom channel "WorldSports". ESPN has absolutely no reason to get into the worldwide sports market, i.e. rugby, aussie rules, gaelic, cricket, polo, handball, etc.

Makes very little sense. Why does ESPN want to get into that market? It only has a niche audience. World Sports have been available in many forms: the old Fox Sports World, as well as the current Setanta Sports USA. They never managed to get out of the niche channel mode. If your argument is...

Why do people still spread these misinformation about ESPN Deportes being on a Spanish package? DISH LATINO MAX is NOT a Spanish package. IT A BI-LINGUAL PACKAGE!!!! In other words, all your frequently watched English cable channels are there: ESPN, TNT, A&E, CNN, Headline News, National...

There is no such message. Here in America, watching futbol in Spanish is part of the futbol-viewing culture. Remember all the World Cups in Univison/SIN and all the screaming of "Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool"?

Dude, get Dish Latino Max. This is the Dish Latino BI-LINGUAL package that resembles AT180, but also gives you the following soccer channels that aren't on AT180: - ESPN Deportes - Fox Sports en Espanol - GolTV (en Espanol) It also gives you the standard English channels that appear on most...

Thanks for all the advices for me to track down 121. OK, this is the lesson I've learned. When I am trying to lock 121 with an MPEG2/DVB receiver, Ku FSS LNBF, I have something in between: a DiSEQC switch. One of the switch input is connected to a Ku DBS twin that's pointing to Echostar...

Of course it's Ku FSS. I've been in this hobby for 6 years, never had a bird that's so difficult to track. I should be able to get the 121 without any difficulty, but somehow it just eludes me...

It's a Ku LNBF that I've used for years to get Telstar 5, SatMex 5, G10R, etc. I am very good at getting Ku signals. Locked the SatMex5 signals for the Chinese channels in less than 5 seconds. Echostar 121 is the one that's killing me...

Iceberg, please shed some lights here. I have a Ku dish, Ku linear LNB and a DMT-1050 (FTA) receiver. There is an unencrypted Chinese channel on Echostar 121, that's why I am trying to lock the signal on that bird. However, after several nights of trying, I still haven't been able to get a...
