International Channels

[Bretto]

Does anyone know what new international channels Dish plans to add when Superdish comes out? If I get a superdish, I will probably use the 110-119-121 combination, since I do not have a high definition television. Also, does anyone have any recommendations as to what international channels to get? Whats most interesting? I don't speak any foreign languages, but I still find channels such as univision, galavision and goltv fun to watch.

So, you're willing to pay $20 (or more) a month for channels that don't speak a language that you understand? :confused:

I have the Latino package, mostly for soccer coverage, but I do enjoy watching newscasts from other parts of the world. Even when I can't understand a lot of what's being said it IS TV and the pictures do a lot of the talking. I would not want to be limited to just the domestic broadcasting that most Americans watch exclusively.

If you do not need the SuperDish for your locals or HDTV, I would not upgrade until E* announces the channels going to 121 and see if you want them any of them or not. If you want Internationals their are plenty to choose from now on 61.5 and 148 with a 2nd dish pointed to one of those satellites.

i hope they mirror certain international channels to 121 because right now i cannot even dream of getting a signal from either international satellites in Hawaii (61.5, 148). although, if they redirected the beam on 148 or put some 157, there would be a chance, i guess.
