Satellite TV Question

I already tried that When i moved to colombia i brought the entire US based system. THe problem is that the footprint of the satalites for US broadcast do not reach to Colombia. I could not get any signal. At least the small dish does not pick up the signal. If you have a 12 foot dish it might work, but then you need to aling the transponders. Best thing is just to get DIRECT TV Latin america. You dont get local channels (IE channel 7 news from Miami) but you can get CNN. Sony TV has all the series you will miss. They even have desperate house wifes. Dont waste you time bringing the US equipment. Direct TV Latin America is great.

Not many options Unfortunately they don`t offer the same Pay Per View and packages as in the states. I am dying for them to offer the MLB, NBA, NCAA, etc. packages but they only offer NFL Sunday Ticket.

Maybe if enough people bitch at them to offer more services they just might, the website is www.directvla.com.co

TV Or you can pay a cheaper fee and connect to the local cable companies, they usually carry 5 to 7 channels in english and also some from Europe. They also offer HBO, Showtime, and other premium channels and a couple of porn channels....

My wife always had cable in Medellin and there were plenty of English channels. We used to watch Seinfeld and I would try to explain it to her.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.
