I've seen a number of requests for cable and satellite info, and thought it might be helpful if we have a central thread that contains all the info.

Here's the playlist for Delancer, courtesy of beeza. Anyone who has intel on how to set up satellite or other cable services, please pitch in!

Spent a while typing this out and I thought I would share.

Blue = available in Spanish and English - push AUDIO on your remote to toggle.
Red = English language channels
i after ch no = International package
+ after ch no = Basico + package

Satellite is no longer "worth" it with respect to what used to be called "Free To Air" but was actually a pirated version of one of the satellite providers..

IPTV with moderately fast Internet speeds is more viable at this time, but still not without issues. Channels from all over the world with on demand movies.

We had SKY [satellite dish] for a couple of years. Good channel lineup, decent English channels, with CNN, BBC, FOX News, but no ABC/NBC/CBS. 18 month contract, and they charged us over 3,000 pesos to close the account - even though we had gone over the 18 months.

Now we have VIVA [another satellite dish] since December, we like it because we were able to get a prepago account, so we only pay for the months that we are there. Even partial months/weeks are allowed. Good HD channels. Not as much English as SKY, no international news except CNN en Espanol [I now know all about what's going on in South and Central America, not so much about the US].

Prices were comparable, except we don't have to pay for the months when we're in the USA.

We cannot get any wired TV because we're in the campo.

My satellite , like others I assume, can be knocked out in a storm from heavy cloud cover.

Can you let us know what the pricing was like, and who the contact person or company is? You are in the Cabrera area, right?

I forget the pricing... was quite a while ago.

Like AE, I suspend service when not there.
Unlike her, my suspension is just a couple of months.

My contact has new work now but may still do installations on the side.
The company was La Electronica... who do quite a big DISH business in RD.
They have a FaceBook page, I think

Where are you located ?
He doesn't go far from home.

Yes, Cabrera

Jeez! The Delancer offering is far far far better than anything Orange or Tricom or Claro are offering.

If they are in Santiago, I want them!!

In Atlanta, lol.

The goal here is to create a single thread with a list of cable and satellite service providers from different parts of the island. Hopefully, newcomers will be able to use it and quickly find the information/service they need.

Are you talking about Kodi devices (bootleg software used on a easily transportable medium, like a Amazon Fire Stick), or something else?

if i could be bothered with tv i would have kodi installed on a device (laptop, tablet, phone) & then hook it up to a larger screen (tv or monitor). its free & according to what i have heard pretty much all channels are available worldwide.

While KODI is free and does contain many sources for watching video, those sources come and go. It can be quite frustrating to have to continually search for content.

A variant of IPTV where others do that searching is somewhat better.

Netflix only? This is what I have now, since I had to give away both my TV sets. I plan to buy one of those smart TVs on Amazon, for under 200 bucks.
Netflix is about 10 bucks a month.

I have never tried Netflix, but at $10 a month if it provides all you need, that is not a bad price. I also need live channels and I don't see NetFlix as having those. .

Delaner has several HD channels besides those on the list - the major US networks plus ESPN, HBO, PBS and others.
