The satellite TV thread


O.k. so for all of us that are soon moving to Baja sur and can't live with less than 100 chanels and seinfeld re-runs, why don't all Baja residents that have satellite TV tell us what they use, where they live,how many channels they get, pros and cons, how much you pay, and where can we get it?

I am sure plenty of people want to know.

A lot depends on where you intend to locate.

You can u2u me for more detailed info, but there are lots of threads on this site about satellite TV and Internet. And lots of good advice.

My Question Is ......................


Has anybody recently come across any working Pirate Receivers ? My Mexican dealer had given up the last time I talked to him. I miss all of those added choices.

tell us what they use: Dish Network. DirecTV no longer broadcasts half its channels here.

where they live: Todos Santos, BCS

how many channels they get: 200 +

pros and cons: Expensive to get desired channels w/o paying for stuff you don't want, no PPV (until I get DSL/vonage hooked up), have to play residency games to get local channels, needs a dish larger than the DTV 1 meter.

how much you pay: North of $80 per mo.

and where can we get it? Here, and from others on the Boards.
