Perhaps someone from Las Terrenas/Samana could help shed some light on this situation. I ve traveled to the Las Terrenas over 30 times and I recently traveled to Cabarete and was surprised to see that on their local cable ( no not SKY) that they had, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNBC, TWC, HBO, ESPN and ESPN 2 in English, not the ESPN Deportes version. Why is it that in Las Terrenas/Samana, there seems to be such a poor offering of Cable TV channels??
