Spanish Language Programming - DirecTV vs. Dish

[Mark Holtz]

Okay, what is the difference between the Dish's Spanish Language Package (Dish Latinos) for $22.99 verses the Spanish-only stations that are carried on DiecTV?

And, no, I'm not talking about English channels that have spanish in a secondary audio track.

As always, TNGTony, you come up with a straight answer. :angel:

Still, it surprises me that Dish carries TV Azteca while DirecTV doesn't. Maybe it's carried in enough local packages. Hmmmm..... minus the sports channels, which system has the better selection?

I'm also wondering how many of these channels are also closed captioned in Spanish also. One of the PI channels on Dish, HITN, doesn't do closed captioning. :(

E* has an exclusive contract with TV Azteca. Comparing Dish Latino for $22/month or Opcion en Español for $15, I'd say D* has a better selection, unless you really want TV Azteca, HTV, Gol TV or Playboy

Z'Loth,

I'm going from memory here, but I don't remember any spanish language channel having CC enabled.

See ya

Well, I know that Univision is CC, but HITN isn't. Not sure about Galavision.
