Why pay for for say dish tv where most channels you dont even watch when you could get youtube tv or sling where you can pick what channels you want and its usually way cheaper.
Netflix is cheaper but you get less (only on-demand, nothing live). YouTube TV is not substantially cheaper than cable TV at its current pricing ($50/mo.).
Uhh... what? I can find only 3 Spanish language channels on my cable system. Telemundo, Univsion, Televisa. Not like I live in a part of the country where there are many Spanish-dominant residents, though.
Different options for different needs and preferences.
Mexican language? I didn't know there were TV channels in nahuatl, now that's variety!
Comcast has a good-sized batch of Spanish-language channels in its premium foreign-language tier, from the US, Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America. They're bundled with Russian, Pakistani, Indian, Brazilian, Japanese, etc. services even on Comcast systems in such non-diverse markets as Hanover/Lebanon, NH. That said, kidrauhl's assertion that "like half' the total channels on his cable system are "spanish/ mexican" is surely a gross exaggeration.
Oh what part are you in because in new york theres at least 40 mexican channels the advanced cable package i just know that from watching recent channel surfing videos on youtube though i dont use cable anymore.
Are you sure they're all Mexican? I'm not sure there are even 40 Mexican channels available to US cable systems, and even if they were, why would a cable system in New York, where a large portion of the Spanish-speaking population is from Caribbean nations, carry that many? If you are using "Mexican" and "Spanish" interchangeably, please stop.
No.
The majority are US cable-only Spanish channels. C-Span, Cartoon Network, Animal Planet, CNN en Español and the additional Telemundo and Univision channels.
There are a bunch of channels with mostly Mexican movies from the "Golden Age" when Mexico produced more movies per year than Hollywood.
One is WAPA from San Juan.
There are a variety from Mexico, but the total is about 10 on most systems that are Mexican or come indirectly from Mexico.
The others are from Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Spain, El Salvador, Dominican Republic.
I have about 120 channels. None of the Mexican networks has a live service to the US that duplicates the Mexico network programming.
I don't know what system you are on, but there are not 40 Mexican cable channels. Most of the Spanish cable offerings are produced in the US.
