Guide to watch OTV in US and Canada

[Lebanesegirl]

the OTV team should make a deal with Dish network!! we can't just call asking them for OTV and the channel is not trying to make any deal or contra with them!! if it's going to take OTV years to get here ya3ne we are calling 3a chi fade!! let OTV tell us when they are ready to make a deal with dish network so se3eta we start calling asking for it!!

i think if enough of us contact Dish Network, they will make an effort to satisfy our wishes...

i don't think there is a large Abu Dhabi or Dubai community in the US who insisted on having those channels and pushed Dish Network to add them...

it just needs some perseverance from customers...

I finally got OTV in Ontario, Canada !!! I'm so excited.

Its on Intelsat 5.


Guys if you really want FREE TO AIR channels you can buy a receiver and dish for like 100$ (or less). You will get a few channels along with OTV.

This comes from GlobeCast WorldTV's website. I called them and they said the OTV will require a subscription and monthly payments. The customer service rep said that you can only get it thru GlobeCast. guys in the US who are getting OTV, do you all have a GlobeCast World TV reciever? or any Ku would work? Thanks!!

I have some good news my brother-in-law called me today! telling me that he found OTV here in AZ (USA) and he can get it for me! BUT because I'm being lazing and I stopped working month ago so he and my parents won't get it for me until I go find a job and start working :( :( really this is not fair! I don't feel like looking for a new job!! but at least it's worth it!!
