Dish Latino Programming For Hispanics
March 6, 2009
Believe it or not I once had cable television service. I actually was ignorant on the offerings of satellite tv. I heard about satellite tv a lot but never really gave it a second thought. Although some people have to get satellite because they don’t have cable in their area, most of us do have a choice. Here are 5 great reasons why you should switch to Dish Netowrk.
1. Pay Less, Get More. I think that the best reason to switch to Dish Network, and the reason that I switched, is you simply get more channels with satellite for less than you pay for cable. With Dish Network I now get twice the amount of channels that I got when I had cable and I pay around the same price.
2. Free Premium Movie Channels. When you first sign up for Dish Network you can get free premium movie channels such as HBO and Showtime for up to 6 months. This was great because I got to see what these channels had to offer before actually paying for them, and because of this I found that I really liked HBO but wasn’t a big fan of Showtime.
3. FREE HD DVR and HD programming. If you are new customer to Dish Network you can get Dish HD for free for 6 months with a Free HD DVD upgrade. This allows you to access all of the HD channels and content on Dish Network, which is great if you have an LCD, DLP or Plasma television that supports HD.
4. Better Family Packages Dish Network has specific programing packages designed specifically for families. On top of this Dish also has great parental controls that allows you to be in control of what your kids are watching. In this day and age this is extremely important for any parent to have and I don’t know what I would do without it.
5. Better Latino Content. Most cable companies don’t offer many channels in Spanish. With Dish Network you can get Latino programming package that offers over 30 channels in spanish (as well English ones). This is great for people who speak english as a second language and feel more comfortable watching TV in their native Spanish. Well, curiosity got the best of me and I had some free time tonight so I figured I would see exactly what type of Latino programming and channels Dish Network had to offer. To my surprise, Dish actually had a number of good packages to choose from with a wide variety of channels in Spanish. The following are the programming packages offered:
Dish Latino. This is the standard latino programming package. It includes 31 channels that are all in Spanish, and is great for someone who just needs a basic programming package and doesn’t watch a ton of movies or anything. This basic package starts at $29.99 a month. Dish Latino Dos: This package includes the 31 channels in Spanish PLUS 150 channels in English. This package also includes movie channels and is good for someone who watches a moderate amount of television, and wants more than just the basic Spanish channels. The Dish Latino Dos Package starts at $39.99 a month. Dish Latino Max: This is basically the ultimate latino package and includes the 31 Spanish channels PLUS 195 English Channels. This has a lot of different channels. The Dish Latino Max package starts at $49.99 a month.
Overall Dish Network offers a surprising amount of programming, however all 3 packages have the same number of channels in Spanish. The Latino channels are pretty diverse and there is something for just about everyone. People often ask if Satellite is superior to Cable and in this instance it really is. Currently, Cable offers nowhere near the amount of programming that Satellite currently does. As always we recommend signing up for Dish Network through AllSat, which usually has the best deals. If you already have Dish Network service you can simply just add the Latino channels you would like to your service.
