DISH TV and SLING TV Bring Premium Spanish-Language Streaming Service ViX+ to Customers

July 21, 2022
  • Spanish-language streaming service is available on DISH and SLING for $6.99/month
  • Seamless user-experience and channel guide integration
  • SLING offers ViX+ on all SLING supported devices, including LG and Vizio, as stand-alone service
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, DISH Network (NASDAQ: DISH) announced the nationwide launch of ViX+ on DISH TV and SLING TV, enabling customers to subscribe to ViX+ directly through its platforms.
ViX+ is the premium tier of ViX, the first large-scale global streaming service created specifically for the Spanish-speaking world, featuring more than 10,000 hours of entertainment programming and 4,000 hours of premium live sports coverage in the U.S. in its first year. ViX+ is the only Spanish-language streaming service in the U.S. with coverage of the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League matches.
Subscribers will have access to more than 70 ViX+ original series and movies in the first year, which represents, on average, at least one new original per week. Exclusive premium original series available at launch include María Felix, La Doña, which tells the story of the beloved Mexican actress and singer, La Mujer del Diablo, a drama about an unconventional love story of obsession and revenge, and Mi Vecino El Cartel, a docuseries executive produced by Selena Gomez that explores how the murder of Juan Guerrero Chapa uncovered the tentacles of the Mexican cartels in the U.S. During the month of July, ViX+ subscribers will also be able to watch global premieres of highly anticipated films, including Mirreyes contra Godinez 2, 'El Retiro' and Enfermo Amor.
"We're excited to expand our robust Spanish-language content offering with the addition of ViX+ available now on DISH and SLING," said Alfredo Rodríguez, vice president, DishLATINO. "Offering consumers a broad range of content has long been a core DISH tenet and the launch of ViX+ to both satellite and streaming customers builds on our longstanding tradition of being the leading provider of Spanish-language programming with more Spanish channels than anyone else."
DISH TV offers ViX+ subscriptions through internet-connected Hopper and Wally devices for $6.99 per month; purchase through the DISH app, online at DISH.com or call 1-855-316-8978.

Interesting. I have been reporting for the last couple of months here that Dish has been slowly adding the regular Vix TV streaming channels for free to my Locals Only package subscription. These channels appear on collapsible channel 870. The big rollout of these channels started in April, when I noticed it had expanded to 20 channels in that range. Prior to that, there had been a selection of five free channels (when the service was still branded as Prende TV) on collapsible channel 870 that started about a year ago now. Currently, Dish's free Vix TV lineup has 55 channels.

There had been a selection of 16 Vix+ streaming channels available for free temporarily a couple of weeks ago on collapsible channel 871, but those quickly disappeared. I assume that those are part of this new subscription Vix+ premium service. The Vix+ link in the first post seems to list all of the Vix channels, including the ones I already get for free. Are the remaining channels from that list already available as part of the Vix+ subscription, or is Dish still slowly adding those the same way that they slowly added the free Vix channels? Will any additional Vix channels be added to the free (channel 870) lineup, or has that been limited to only the existing set of 55 channels? I note that the Vix app on Roku advertises over 100 Vix channels, all for free. So, I was wondering if Dish is planning to add any more of those, and if so, would they still be free or part of this new premium tier?

If you ponied up for an iPhone Duo, keep it away from anything other than your soft, fleshy fingertips. No fingernails, no dust, sand, dirt, or other particulate matter. And don't bend it more than it needs to. Zack has destroyed $2,000 of Apple hardware to get those views, which should cover his expenses.

Aka "mail" or "maille".

IFixIt has published their Teardown and they had some positive things to say about the iPhone Duo. It still showed some dust ingress into the hinge assembly but seemed otherwise well-sealed.
​

But with a considerable number of reports of the main screen dying with similar failures, AppleCare+ should be a no-brainer for this phone.

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.

Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop! 😂

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I'm sure I will watch at least the first episode but I am not optimistic.
Here i am over a year later and just finished season 1. Not great but not as bad as I was expecting. Did not care for the barefoot captain stuff but overall ok. Actually looking forward to see what they did for season 2.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

There would still be dirt ,dust in the future I am sure. So walking around the station like she did she would get stuff on her feet. I am sure the robot vacuum is still going to miss stuff, with all those different alien species running around there.

Where is it going to come from -- specifically?

Why do you think cleaning technology won't improve in the next few hundred years? HEPA filtration was invented as part of the Manhattan Project.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that. ;)

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
