Dish in the Bahamas?

[bcshields]

Does Dish's footprint cover the bahamas? anyone have any input?

Bahamas arent that far east of Florida so I don't see why not.

not legally, but everyone has D and E pretty much for free. Heck, they advertize pirate cards (with warranties) in the paper. I don't think the FCC can touch them over there.

hey fredoh, everyone here can afford internet access, they can afford to subscribe sat tv or cable tv as well

 

[BFG]

They may be able to afford it. But as pointed out they legally aren't allowed to, hence why they must steal. A better way to do it, is would be to have a US broker and pay for the service, much like we do in Canada

Barbados BUDS

I seen alot of BUDS during my Caribbean vacations. On some of these islands TVRO is their only connection to the world I think.

Back in the spring of 2003, I went on a trip to Freeport, Bahamas. I just pulled up my pics from the island tour that I went on...and several houses have D* or E* dish on them.

How's the footprint in Puerto Rico? Can they sell there as it is a US territory?

Hey Stone, I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying the the Bahamian Government doesn't care that much if people steal a US product if the FCC can't touch them. I'm pretty sure that the majority of the population of the Bahamas cannot afford the typical satellite package, or high speed internet connections either.
