The dish itself was not damaged, but the cost of remounting the dish was prohibitive. We had been subscribing to the International Channel, but we cancelled the subscription after we learned we couldn't remount the dish. We have been without international programming ever since. Recently we have been investigating the Dish Network as an alternative because of the extensive international programming they offer. I noticed several postings regarding Dish Latino so it occurred to me that several on this list must be using the Dish Network. Can you provide me with information regarding the arrangement you have with Dish Network and what kind of subscription account they have for educational institutions? I know they have residential and commercial accounts, but their website does not provide much info on educational accounts. What does it cost? Because of our location in the middle of the Pacific, some things readily available on the mainland US are not in Hawaii and this might be case here with international programming on Dish Network. Nevertheless, several of our instructors would be very happy if we could restore some kind of international programming. Thank you.
