I have DirecTV here in the states and I have a house in way south Mexico. I just got rid of Sky, it was not fun. Is there any Satellite sevices in Mexico that are like DirecTV or can I take my unit there and expect it to work? 87.25 W by 18.45N
Mexico?

From the look of the DTV footprint http://www.satcodx.info/DTV/DTV123KB.gif
It does not look like DTV will work well in southern Mexico. Have you thought about Star Choice? I have heard that one does well in Mexico.

download it and zoom in. that site used to have larger pics, but there are now advertisements where the large pics once were. I don't know where another footprint of 101 would be.

When I've been to Cancun, Mexico .. one particular bar had a directv system which was from the US cause it was on ESPN channel 206.
They did have a 10 or 12 foot Paraclipse which I assume it was the antenna used to get Dtv, who knows.

Directv Latin America is not offered in Mexico and Brazil anymore. It's offered in 27 other countries in Latin America but not in Mexico. I read in another forum that Directv lost Mexico because of piracy and customers were transitioned to Sky Latin America.
To have US DirecTV service in Mexico you will need a big dish. 1.8 meter to 2.4 meter for your location I believe.
The link I provided has people that can get you the equipment and set it up for you if your interested.
I am not talking pirating by the way, don't need anyone jumping on me about that. You need a valid account and they won't deal with you if you don't have one.
