Our guy set us up with Dish Network on the east cape and it works just fine. We have a billing address at my son's house in San Diego and a he
established a service location in Texas. Since we've never been to Texas, I guess that is what they do to make it "legit". We pay about $45 per month
for the regular service package.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

Thanks El Jefe-- I wonder - do you have a 2 meter dish and can you get additional packages like HBO, cinemax and game day football in the Fall and
finally can you get the HD package?
I have dish network and had planned to do as you have stated by keeping my US mailing address, taking my own boxes and having the sytem set up in El
Centenario,and the bill is paid electronically so no need to pay or worrry about paper billings.

that dose not make it "legit". it is illegal . it is against the law in both Mexico and the US to have that system set up where you have it. allot of
people have the Dish Network and other US and Canadian sat. services Here in Baja sur, and they work just fine. I would put the dish where it cant be
seen by others and not Brag to much about it to others especially on the internet.

Really? I knew about the U.S., but Mexico? I know that Mexico has U.S. 'Direct' protection as they have licensed service. Last I heard, 'Dish'
doesn't.

Bruce-- while I know my spanish will improve with every day usage when I come to Baja sur- does the SKY package you mention have and English language
format and could I for instance get local programming from the US like a dish network package would provide?

A few thoughts on satellite in Baja as I have made all the mistakes someone can. I am in Loreto, which is the hardest place to get signal. I have
had Direct, Dish and now switching to Star Choice in Canada. I have had sat dishes of 1 meter to 3 meters. If you are in La Paz or south or the
extreme north, they all work for the most part. In Loreto we received about 12 channels on Direct, approx. 70 channels on Dish, however dish goes
completely off line between 3:00 am and 6:30 am. Star Choice I have seen online in town gets all channels that you order. I will be returning home
to Loreto on April 17th to hook up the Star Choice. I will let everyone know what happens.

most of the programming is in English the only thing you cant get is ABC NBC and CBS but that is all garbage anyway at least for me. I get over 200
chanels of good stuff and tivo.
I live in Mexico and I support Mexico.

can't see it on IE6.... maybe all that 'illegal' talk caused him to pull it... can't be too careful. The dish police are everywhere.

Greetings Bajajudy,
I am still here but I did remove the post. Curiously, only one reply and one u2u until I edited the post by removing it.
Think I'll just stick to broadcast channels in La Paz. It will improve my spanish language skills and no worries about pirated signals, etc. The Dish
dish might call attention to my herb farm *Joke*
Who caught the news of the Venezuelan plane with the hundred suitcases of Cocaine intercepted in Mexico!?

Bruce-- good to know-- thanks as I will want to emulate your support of all things local. I guess you mean you can get CNN, Fox news, ESPN and the
college football game day plans as well as HBO, Cinemax etc.

Kat........Before you invest your money in Sky I would suggest that you go someplace where Sky service is connected and see for yourself the
programming that is actually available.
