My friend in Akumal has ordered U-verse to be installed on July 8th at his Texas home. This was his 2 year committment end date with Dish. His Dish subscription ends that day. He informed me that 15 other condo owners in his complex in Akumal are also closing their Dish subscriptions. When they all return in the fall, they will be subscribing to Shaw direct. Right now the people who might rent their unit will be using the adjoining Resort hotel's cable system that has a couple of English channels as well as , German, Italian , and French content to go along with the mostly spanish channels.
No hay mucho en Ingles...
DISH - Canales
If you float your mouse over the channel icons, you'll see the percentage of programming in English. Not much. Most of it is translated. Hard to say about the Playboy Channel, but I doubt there's much there that needs translating

The issue is with the programing, most of the tv series that you watch are sindicated to Latinamerican channels, ie sonny or WB channel, they pay to broadcast the shows in Latin America, either dubbed or with subtittles, so even if dish Mexico or SKY wanted to sell a Gringo pack (lol) they couldn't. Stop looking for something where there is nothing.
Deja Vu all over again...
A few years ago, DirecTV customers in Mexico experienced the same thing as DN customers are going through now. They swapped out their satellite at the 101° and cut signal into Mx. It was "Bye bye DTV" and many of their customers switched to Dish Network.
Presently, 61.5 has some of the more popular channels and the new E15 (Aug 3 startup) should have a solid signal covering a large part of Mexico. Time will tell how the channel lineup will end up.
You can see the present channels at "The List"
Recently installed a 2m dish here in Nicaragua. Missing a few TP's which was normal before the change to Echo 14 but overall the signal levels average out around 75-80%
I live in Merida Mexico and I have lost half of my transponders on 119W, I have a 1.8 meter dish. Can you pick up the dish network on these other satellites? and if you can which one carries the most channels like 119W and where are they located in the sky?
Thanks
I have the same lost channel issue, but I have not been down to Puerto Vallarta/Manzanillo area to check since the changes occurred in June. Do you have any of the distant networks, channels 241-248 yet? . I am so sick of Dish Network and dealing with their technical issues and security switches. I wish I could just bypass the whole Dish thing and go internet. But I dont want to switch out all my SAT equipment and go with a new system yet, and I know it will be a matter of time before Apple TV will be enough. What are you doing about the new changes and has anything changed for the better since your last posting?
Local Network Channels
If you have DN reception, we can set anyone up with the local networks from SF, NY or both SF and NY. In Mexico or in the US.
Send me a PM or Email to alan [-a t-] BajaSatellite dot com. We've set up several folks in Puerto Vallarta and most recently in Cozumel and Merida.

Needing some Help
Allan: I live east of Merida and I have lost half of my transponders. I was receiving my locals from Direct but I lost them when I lost the transponder. Do you know if there is anyone in Merida who is receiving all of their transponders and if they are what type of equipment are the using now. I just noticed you said you had helped someone in Merida to get local channels.

What size is your dish?
You may be able to get the HD locals from LA and/or Chicago but you will need a dish on the 110° satellite and an HD-enabled receiver and TV.

Not all. Just the locals from the So. Florida spot beams, and Dish Network's NY locals on TP20. You can still get NY and SF on TP15.
