Satellite Television

I've been looking around online for awhile for this one, but does anyone know of a Satellite TV Company that can provide Colombian Channels? I'm kind of interested in Something that can be picked up in the US. Just thinking that it would be good for when I get married, my wife can still keep up with what's going on back home. The searching I've done hasn't yielded any good prospects for Colombia Programming.

Thanks,
Daniel

Satellite Television Well I live here in Houston, TX USA and we currently have the Dish Network and we have RCN, CARACOL and I believe one or two more Colombian channel and the monthly payment is not too bad at all. I would well recommand it. If you want more info just let me know.

direct tv

The best satelite company in Colombia is Direct TV. I heard some families get one account with three decodificadores and antenas, they leave one in the city the other one to a farm (finca) and the other one abroad i guess the later is not allowed but it is done.

Satellite TV Unless you are willing to get a BUD (Big Ugly Dish), Dish Network is your only choice, afaik they have only one Colombian channel, TV Colombia, which as juanalejo said is a mix of several channels. Direct TV has none at all.

If you go with a BUD, the best bet seems to be NSS 806, with 10 Colombian channels:

There are a few others, too:
