Puerto Rico
Hello...

I have been reading for a while now, since I may change from Cable to Satellite soon...

Can someone in Puerto Rico help me clarify the following:

If I get HD & SD...

Will ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, CW also come in HD or just SD?
I believe they are considered locals also...:confused:

These channels are provided for local DMA. In our PR DMA...these stations are only in SD....not in HD. Infact till now no local channels r available in HD in our DMA.

Having said that...u can subscribe additional package of HD local Distant which will give u the outside market HD for the big 4 ie ABC, Fox, CBS & NBC & it will cost u extra above the basic package u sub to.

...dish has said that they will have 10 exclusive local channels in the near future. Rumors are that some or all of those will be HD locals.

Well I'm getting DTV-PR for the NFL Sunday ticket this year, I basically was going to get a Prepaid, but I may change my mind...

Tom, do you know if DTV-PR gets all the games for the NFL Sunday Ticket just like DirectvUSA?
I'm also planning to get DTV-PR prepaid just to have the NFL games and maybe their basic tier of channels.
 
 
A friend of mine bought the MLB pkg from Direct-PR last year and only receive like 3 channels. They didnt offer all the games, only the ones they thing are intereting to people in PR. That what he told me, I'm not into sports, so I dont know how many channels you should get, but he was upset.
 
Well a friend of mine has a Sports Bar and he has DTV just for the NFL games. As far as I can tell he gets all the games.

I have a question. I'm a Chicago Bears fan, and on the past I had the Chicago Locales until the crappy PR locales ruined it all. We can't get those channel anymore with our PR address right? I'm interested on the HD version, but can settle for the SD... :D
