Hi All,

I am looking to get more russian channels for my grandparents.
They currently have the russian mega pack from Dish.
I like the RTN packages, but i cant find out how they work.
Anyone have more info, please let me know... Pricing as well.


Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by RTN packages. The RTN that I watch is mostly English with some Spanish channels. I know nothing about Foreign Language channels, except that there are plenty of them and they don't interest me. G19 ku @ 97.0w has a bunch of those type channels, many are ITC (in the clear) while most are scrambled. The scrambled ones can be gotten through a subscription (which I still know little about) and the link above is for a Glorystar Satellite system that will allow a subscription to some (or maybe all) of those G19 ku channels. Hopefully others on here can help you help your Grandparents...!
Good Luck..!!!

FTAlist shows a handful of Russian channels. Mostly religious it looks like. FTAList.com - Russian Channel List

RTN is Retro Television Network (at least on this site) which isn't Russian. Russia Today (in English) is on the same Galaxy 19 (was Galaxy 25) satellite.

A new fixed dish setup might be $150 - $200. You can often scrounge some used stuff for a whole lot less, but just bear in mind old DirecTV or Dish Network gear won't work. Their International dishes (World Direct or Super Dish) can be used, but generally take more effort and are a bit on the small side.

After searching "Russian Media Group", I found this:
Russian Media Group

Maybe this is the link you tried to post? They have an 800 number. You should call them and ask them what you need to get their Programming....
Good Luck..!!
