Does anyone know how much it will be for the people who dont have the Luso-Pack or w.e its called, all I got is RTPi and SPT.
why you waiting for somebody to do something for you when you can do it yourself. so its time that you get on the ball, = cancel comcast and get DISH NETWORK. lol
RTPi- 9.99 SPT- 19. 99..loooooooooooooool and the LUSO PACK costs 24.99 Apparently the LUSO PACK contains three more channels, looks like I'll be calling dish tonight.
yup you better. the luso pack is 24.99 you get spt/sic internacional(with the portuguese liga games). rtpi, sicNOTICIAS, EURONEWS, and BENFICA TV. and soon SPORT TV AMERICAS will be included in the pack. even if they increase it to 30 bucks a month it still the same amount you pay right now.
Right now this is what is listed for the Luso Pack: BENFICA TV 739 EURONEWS 784 RTPI 615 SIC NOTICIAS 599 SPT 650 Are we sure SPT Americas will be added to it? Also, does that mean SPT will drop all the games it had in the past?
I'm still researching for news, but nothing yet. As a consolation for now the Sporting game is on SPT and RTPi; the Benfica games is scheduled live on ESPN3.com Although the channel was uplinked to Dish Network today, but not yet available. 609 - SPRTV [MPEG2 SD] added to Anik F3 118.7W TP 21 ConUS beam (NA)
Its possible it might end up on 61.5, but there nothing to suggest that right now as Benfica TV was also only added to 118.7. It seems they are putting a lot of their internationals on 118.7 which sucks for me cuz i have Eastern Arc 61.5, 72 and 77.
From what I understand the 61.5 satellite will become obsolete soon. I don't know if DishNetwork will send out installers to swap out dishes for those that have 61.5, but it may be a good idea to start looking to make the switch. I believe that Benfica TV was only added to 118.7, not 61.5 but I can't confirm if that is the case or not...
Well..lucky for me I still have a super dish to use as a wing for 118.7 Just spent 30 bucks on ebay for the 118.7 repoint LNB. Once I get that I canjust connect the Dish 500 to the 1000.4 and should be good to go. But Dish is getting ridiculous with all this crap. If I wasn't such a die hard futebol fan, i'd tell them to stuff it!
well here's some relieving news of the day: 609 - SPRTV [MPEG2 SD] added to EchoStar15 61.5W TP 14 ConUS beam (NA) I've heard a grumbling the channel may go live on Friday the 13th...
Confirmed: Sport Tv goes live on Friday the 13th as part of the Luso Pack on Dish Network http://24horasnewspaper.com/user/mo...uaHRtJTNGbm9kZUlkJTNEMjgzNTA3Nw==&edicao=3518
