I believe Not. Few years back satellites moved around and fortunately DishTv has a strong signal right overhead. TV with local networks available
thru Sat guys in most areas. Just don't tell them where you are. Good luck.

You can watch it with their app over the internet on your laptop if you use a vpn to mask your location (i.e. make it look like you are in the US).
A Directv dish should work as well, at least in the upper part of Baja. Works in San Carlos in Sonora.

Directv has worked for me as far south as Catalina. After that no op with the standard size RV antenna at least.

you can use a slingbox unit set up at your home to send the signal over the internet to another device. We used it for years with very good luck...
watched on a laptop or a tv with a WD box..
Sling box units are available on ebay and Amazon....
buena suerte

You don't need slingbox anymore, Directv has a streaming app now.

Get a Roku and plug it into a TV if you have WiFi. Works great.

With a smart tv like a Samsung you don't need Apple TV or Roku. It's built in.
