We bought one of those 7" screen portable DVD players.
It plugs into the cigarrette lighter to recharge.
Go to K-Mart and buy some cheap DVDs of 100 cartoons for $5.00.
Also the "World" series or "Oceans" and the like for a little education.
It's been one of the best Baja investments we've made !

DirecTV won't work in Mulege. They were down to one or two channels the last time I checked. You'll need to go with Dish Network if you want Satellite
TV there.
Also, you'll need a qualifying address in the US to get the national PBS channel. Most of the local PBS channels carried by Dish are on spot beams
that cannot be picked up in BCS.

Are these programs in Spanish? If you want everybody here to think and reply about Spanish language programming, maybe you should refer to the
programs by their Spanish name or, at least, clarify your request. |

Sorry, isn't PBS in English? Where in your post did you say you wanted TV in Spanish????
You may be able to get V-me, sort of a Spanish PBS channel, on Dish Network 9414. Much of their programming is U.S derived, dubbed into Spanish.
But if you just want TV in Spanish then get Sky. Far cheaper for the gear than Dish Network, and monthly rates are better.

In Mulegé you can receive local TV broadcast with just rabbit ears. All the bars and restaurants have cartoons for their help.
