One reason to get satellite television rather than cable is the foreign language programming 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 much 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 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.

Because of the popularity of satellite TV systems, both Dish TV and Direct TV 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 heads up the offer from Dish Network, and is only .99 a 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 pack drops the number of Filipino channels down to four, and the price is also lower, coming in at $19.99 per month. The Viva Pinoy bundle is a bit less, .99 per month~99 each month} to be exact with three networks from the Philippines.

Now you might think that to get these good prices, one would also have to subscribe to an English language bundle through Dish Network. 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 add on 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 Dish Network, an affordable and entertaining alternative is available throughout the United States.
