One reason to get satellite TV rather than cable is the foreign language package option. Sure with Comcast or Time Warner cable, you could get a Spanish package added on, but good luck with other languages there is not a lot to pick from.

One example to consider is programming in the Tagalog language, which is mainly spoken in the Philippines. Many immigrants now living in the USA speak this language, yet it is very difficult to find entertainment in their native language. 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 enhanced their foreign language options. Dish Network Filipino programming can bring up to seven different channels into your home in the Tagalog language. The Pinoy Mega Pack heads up the offer from Dish Network, and is only .99 a month~99 each month}. Five different video channels and two 24 hour a day audio channels are available through this package.

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

Now you would think that to get these excellent prices, you also have to purchase 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 requirement to get these Filipino language channels is a two year commitment to Dish Network, and the addition of local channels which are .99 per month with a foreign language bundle.

So why settle for less entertainment, cable television limits the foreign language options? With Filipino TV packages from D ish Network, an entertaining alternative is available throughout the United States.
