TV in the DR. Discussion.
Yes, I have tried local cable companies. Somewhat lacking.

Now solution is Strong VPN at 55 $ year. This is good for BBC and many UK programs.

Also Netflix - Spanish as well as UK/US programs. Many times good subtitle service. Good for learning language when dialogue is fast. 6$ a month.

Also www.wwitv.com has many stations including CNN, Fox etc.

Anyone been watchin La Reina del Sur ?

Other ideas?

RE: TV in the DR. Discussion.
With a $10 million budget, La Reina del Sur was the most expensive telenovela ever produced by Telemundo.[1] The program's premiere on February 28, 2011, was the network's highest rated premiere for a telenovela to date.[2] The program frequently dominated its time slot, even over English language programming on other major U.S. networks.[3]

La Reina del Sur completed its 63 episode run on Telemundo and its 13 episode run on Antena 3 simultaneously on May 30, 2011. The final episode was the highest rated broadcast in Telemundo's 19-year history (4.2 million viewers), and beat all of the English language U.S. television networks to earn the number one slot in the 18-49 adult demographic.[4] The program's success spurred Telemundo to launch its first campaign to gain the series an Emmy Award nomination.[5] A one-night special featuring several cast members aired on May 31, 2011, and marked the Telemundo debut of noted Latina television personality Cristina Saralegui.
