With all the current problems of FTA satellite programming, I am contemplating the purchase of a new 'legal' satellite system from Claro TV. If anybody here on the board has purchased one of these, I would like to know the following:
1) How do you get a channel list for each of the packages they offer, Plan Basico, Plan Superior, & Plan Avanzado? Claro can only supply me with a list of the Basico package, for some reason they are unable to tell me which channels you can get on the other packages. Its sort of like having a restaurant without a menu, but not surprising in this country.
2) Are most of these channels in Spanish with optional English in subtitles, or are some of these channels in English with optional Spanish subtitles, or a combination?
Thanks for any help.
signed up on thursday last,1400 pesos for 2 boxs.Installer came yesterday,and spent most of day installing new phone lines throughout house from street.They finished about 2pm and other claro people came to install boxs.Both boxs are hd capable.One is a recorder as well,with pause, record in the future,etc...same as tivo.HD cable does not come with system,so I will buy at Americano.The recorder is a cisco,Scientific Atlantic IPN430MC,with 160 Gig of memory.
Someone had said it was slow to change channels,but not so,very fast.
Quality of pic is excellent on both my Tvs...one is a lcd,other is a regular tv.
190 channels,including golf channel as well as many of the DISCOVERY,National Geographic type,and in English.You can change language on most programs...and it has the ABC
cost is 1500 plus tax.
so far so good.
