satellite Tv help, baja sur( dish, sky, Vetv,)


Im trying to purchase a satellite tv for our home in San Juanico, baja sur. Problem is I went to Constitucion, Vetv nor SKY will come out to our desolated area nor would they sell me the system which I can install myself. Someone said Dish will give you the system and you can do it yourself....Any success for anyone ?? thx

I would ask your neighbors that have TV and see what they did. I have heard that Shawdirect out of Canada is a good option unless you are looking for Spanish content. Also Dishnet but you want to make sure that you get the right size dish for your area.

Contact Alan Thompson at Eldorado Satellite. He supplies Dish Network systems to BCS, for either installation or do it yourself with detailed instructions. There is a promotional on right now for the Dish system.

We have not had US TV for over 10 yrs. We recently babysat a property with it. I am here to report that nothing is on 24 hrs. a day. We are looking forward to the next 10 yrs. sans the mahogany knothole.
