Dish must be targeting ethnic people. I was the account holder, but my wife recieved a mailer today in all japanese for TV Japan on Dish, $25 month.

Interesting.

I'd love to get the Japanese reality tv channel or even one of those TV gaming channels.

sorry for trying to be general.

to help you out substitute Nationality, but it still isn't exact either.

Satellite companies carry a lot of international channels, I've seen Indian, Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Japanese channel packages. Hell, some even have subsets for certain regions.

Thanks for stating the obvious :). Do they mail everyone mailers for these stations in the foreign language?

Obviously they are using demographics in some way as my wife was not on my old Dish account.

This was my point. We get AZN on comcast and it's decent (daily Japan news and stuff)...Japan TV would be better, but I'd need a dish again and another coax run. In the hurricanes/wind storms down here Dish isn't too reliable.

I get flyers in French, but that's normal. Sometimes Italian and Spanish...
