Satellite TV has evolved quite a bit over the past 20 years. One of the reasons why it has become so popular is that you can oftentimes find content not available through your local cable TV company. One area where this is true is the Spanish satellite TV market. Both DISH Network and DIRECTV have recognized this important and economically powerful segment of the American population. Because of this, each company has designed packages for Spanish speaking families and individuals living in the United States. What can Spanish satellite TV offer that you won’t find with cable?
The main attraction is the Spanish channel selection. The DIRECTV Mas package now offers nearly 55 channels in Spanish. Four different options are available, so there is something that will fit nearly every budget. What kind of Spanish TV channel will you find with the DIRECTV Mas option?
News channels like CNN en Espanol and Telemundo are popular choices. Telemundo and Univision are also offered, and both networks are offered with Eastern and Western feeds so there is a better chance of finding your favorite Spanish shows on at different times. ESPN Deportes and GOL TV are also available for sports fans. DIRECTV has also begun to roll out some Spanish HD channels as well for those who have flat screen or plasma television sets.
The four DIRECTV Spanish packages are Optimo Mas, Mas Ultra, Mas Ultra Deportes, and Lo Maximo. These roughly correspond with the regular DIRECTV programming packages, as each Spanish satellite TV package also contains a number of English language packages.
What about the DishLATINO option from Dish Network? Here you will also find an incredible amount of Spanish satellite television content when compared to your local cable company. Nearly fifty Spanish TV channels are available through the various programming packages, and you can take advantage of the latest DISH Network deals to save you some money on installation and package costs during the first year of service.
DishLATINO packages available include the Dish Mexico, DishLATINO Clasico, Dish Latino Dos, and Dish Latino Max. Pricing starts as low as $19.99 a month, and moves up to $52.99 for the top Spanish satellite package with DISH Network. Again, free installation is included for new customers, but be aware that a satellite television contract applies and you are locked into service for a period of two years.
So why put up with limited Spanish channel selection from your cable company. With Spanish satellite television options available nationwide, anyone can get a full slate of programming at a price that generally beats cable by a mile.
