Dish Network USA (4 Major Networks in HD + 83 SD TV Channels in English) on a small 3ft. dish for $400 (Satellite 121° West)

IMPORTANT : With small dish installations like with DISH NETWORK USA on satellite positioned in orbital 121° degrees West, we DO NOT ask to provide any money up front. We let our product speak for itself. We will visit you, install the satellite TV service and once it is up and running and you are a happy customer then we proceed to settle the investment part.

General information:

It’s public knowledge that satellite TV company, Dish Network, has 6 satellites currently serving the U.S. market but there is actually only one satellite (spacecraft) in the southern sky that carries All-in-English programming from Dish Network that is very easy to “catch” from COSTA RICA using a cheap and small 3 ft. dish antenna. For all other 5 satellites from U.S based Dish Network Corporation, you need to purchase and install the big  3 meter -10 ft. satellite dish as explained here.

This high quality Latino/American satellite is named EchoStar 9 and it is placed in orbital position 121 degrees West of the equator. Now, the excellent news about the EchoStar 9 satellite is that is serves the Latin market with Dish Network Latino and Mexico but it is also capable of serving the US market with All-in-English programming as a backup satellite. Since Mexico is so close to COSTA RICA (in terms of its satellite footprint) we are lucky that the Dish Network Corporation is using its Mexican subsidiary’s satellite to carry all-in-English programming for the North American continent.

Now… with this satellite, you also get the four major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX) in High Definition,  you get 83 standard definition TV channels in English, you enjoy your TV experience using a high quality DISH NETWORK satellite receiver box and you will get billed by Dish Network USA as if you where living in the State of Florida. You would then pay for those bills using any debit/credit card.

Now keep in mind that this geostationary satellite 121° degrees West only carries the 4 Major American Networks/Locals in High Definition and 83 American – English Speaking Standard Definition TV channels and that is it…!.. It is a All-in-English Survival TV kit solution for ex-pats in Costa Rica …

If you are looking for the whole nine yards, and you would like to retire with the BEST SATELLITE TV in Costa Rica, with  300+ Standard Def. TV Channels and 150+ High Def. TV Channels + DVR … (a TV experience similar to the one that you would enjoy if you live back in the United States…) then you would need to purchase the Big Dish Project as explained here.

So, if you would like to get most of TV Channels from the satellite then we suggest to get the “America’s Top 200 Package from Dish Network USA“ … because this package “squeezes out” most of the TV Channels from the DISH NETWORK satellite.
