Which Satellite For Spanish?

[Chavez]

Does the spanish programing come off a different satellite than 101? Will I need a specific type of receiver and dish or will the oval type work?

AFAIK you need at least the phase III dish for spanish programming since it's on 119, DirecTV USA on DirecTV 7S at 119.0°W - LyngSat. But I also thought that for new installs DirecTV is putting in the Slimline dish anyway, but could be wrong on that.

my question would be would you need an international dish for just spanish? i'm thinking about adding the $20 monthly spanish package which is why i'm curious.

No the 3 Sat or Slimline will be fine all you need is clear LOS for 119. No need for the 95 International Dish. Para Todos is the package your looking for.

All I know is that I needed a world dish to get Chinese programming, so unfortunately my wife was unable to get some home programming. I didn't feel like having D* come back out and put a different dish up after all the crap I went through to get the one that's up there currently.

It is possible that the JadeWorld packaging will be moved to the 110 an 119 this summer .. cross your fingers that they have room after moving 72.5 locals to 110/119/99

72.5 locals are all moving to 99 & 103 MPEG4 - there is NO room on the 119 spots f/locals, & D* is not going to put locals on the national beams on 110/119...

Jade World was/is on the 119.
