Yes to both Sports Pack and Setanta Sports USA. $12 each.

Tell your Spanish-speaking roommates to switch to the new Seleccion Ultra Sin Locales (no local channels) or Seleccion Ultra by November 5 to lock in the discounted price for existing subscribers ($36.99 for Ultra Sin Locales, $39.99 for Ultra). Price goes up by $10 starting November 6.

Any new channels that DirecTV Para Todos might add in the future (i.e. ESPN Deportes when Caribbean Baseball Series begins in February) will only go into the new "Seleccion" packages and NOT the old "Opcion" packages.

I personally have Seleccion Ultra Sin Locales and Sports Pack.

OK, here is a sticky:

If you want FSC and ESPN Deportes from Dish Network, what's the minimum amount of money you have to spend?

You will need both Top 180 ($48) and DISH Latino ($25), for a total of $73 a month.

DISH Latino is expensive because it includes Playboy En Espanol whether you want it or not.

DirecTV has a Seleccion en Espanol package for $20 as an add-on for those who subscribe to Total Choice or Total Choice Plus packages.

Just saw it on a satellite site. Dish Network has this new package "Dish Latino Bonus pack", that allows you to add Dish Latino at 1/2 of the price if you already subbed to a package.

Thus for $48 (Top 180) + $12.49 (Latino Bonus pack), at about $60, you can get FSC, GolTV and ESPN Deportes.

Thank you, that made my day! The only reason I hadn't subscribed to Dish Latino Max was because it was so stupidly expensive ($25 a month) and had a lot of junk I didn't need. Yeah, that Playboy en Español was unnecessarily driving up the cost, and I didn't want it. I wonder if this new packaging is because of the new FCC regulations. (The one that requires family oriented channels to be orderable as a package, or requires that adult channels must not be mandatorily forced as part of a package, or something like that.)

I have Para Todos and the SportsPak. I could order Setanta, but I don't.

I get these soccer carrying channels from Para Todos
DTV 400 - shows a bunch of old Cosmos and Clasicos Mexicanos! games when not pimping other Spanish language programs.
Telemundo East
Telemundo West
Galavision East
Univision East
Univision West
Ty C Sports (Argentina)
Fox Sports en Espanol
GolTV (Spanish primary/English secondary)

From the SportsPak I get
CSTV
ESPNU
Fox Soccer Channel
GolTV (English primary/Spanish secondary)

Actually, I just found out something new. Sometime ago (don't know when) FSC was added to Dish Latino DOS.

http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/programming/packages/dish_latino_dos/index.asp?viewby=1&packid=10099&sortby=1

Thus for the price of $34.99, you can get

- GolTV
- FSC
- FS en Espanol
- ESPN Deportes
- TNT
- TBS
- All the FSNs

That's the cheapest DBS package to get both ESPN Deportes and FSC. Now, the only drawback is that Dish Latino Dos has no ESPN/ESPN2. Thus you won't be able to watch the CL and the World Cup in English.
