Filipino TV on Dish Network

Filipino TV on Dish Network

A great reason to get satellite television rather than cable is the foreign language programming option. Sure with Comcast or TWC, you might be able to get a Spanish package in addition, but as far as other languages there is not a lot to choose from.

One example to consider is programming in the Tagalog language, which is mainly spoken in the Philippines. Many immigrants now living in the United States speak this language, yet it is very difficult to find entertainment in their native tongue. That is where satellite TV companies like Dish Network and Direct TV come into the picture.

Due to the popularity of satellite TV systems, both Dish Network and DirecTV have expanded their foreign language offerings. Dish Network Filipino programming can bring up to seven different channels into your home in the Tagalog language. The Pinoy Mega Pack headlines the offer from Dish Network, and is only $24.99 per month~99 each month}. Five different video networks and two 24 hour a day audio channels are available through this option.

If you just want a basic Dish Network Filipino package, that is not a problem either. The GMA Pinoy bundle reduces the number of Filipino channels down to four, and the price is also lower, coming in at $19.99 per month. The Viva Pinoy option is a bit less, $16.99 per month~99 each month} to be exact with three channels from the Philippines.

Now you might think that to get these great prices, you also have to subscribe to an English language package through Dish TV. The great news is that your are not required to do so, though you can add one of the Dish packages if members of your household would enjoy such programming. The only thing you need to do to get these Filipino language channels is a two year commitment to Dish TV, and the addition of local channels which are $9.99 per month with a foreign language package.

So why settle for little or no foreign language entertainment with cable TV? With Filipino TV packages from D ish Network, an entertaining alternative is available throughout the United States.
