In my experience of businesses on Bonaire Harrie, and with that I include all Government offices, one thing that is lacking is common sense.These people realise that you are right and that compromises could be made but everything has to be done "by the book".

Harry; I like your butcher story :-)) It is even worse for a company like Flamingo TV is; We all can live happy ever after and survive easily without them, but we do need to eat and do need to get groceries !!! They (Flamingo) indeed better watch out having a customer service like they have shown up until now- it might become very quiet at there offices .....

Hi All! Don't laugh, but I am a huge fan of 24. I have not missed an episode. I will be in Bonaire for the last three episodes. Is 24 airing there? It is on Fox. (Oh please, oh please, tell me it is!) If you can get it, is it on Flamingo or Satellite?

I'm sure that you will all be relieved to hear that I just spoke with FTV and (drumroll)....they "are working on it". I know it's a load off my mind.
|
By Jim and Jane Madden (BonaireTalker - Post #29) on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 - 9:10 pm: |
Oh yeah, they worked on it...good news, we had abc and cbs from Erie and New York like we used to (real time programs) for awhile today...bad news, prime time we lost CBS and USA...still gone...where are the TV fairies when we need them!!!!! Maybe if we contact Halliburton they have a free satellite they can lend us...how about the one that supposed to be looking for Osama....obviously it's not working so maybe we can use that for TV signals on Bonaire! Somebody check on that!

By Alex Brown (BonaireTalker - Post #84) on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 - 9:26 pm: |
Janie, Halliburton says they're "real busy" right now, and only the government can afford their rates--let's see if Chavez will let us bounce off a Venezuelan satellite.

Do you think Chavez will give bargain rates to Bonaire residents? After all, we can't qualify for heating oil.

Indeed, lots of channels are back. Just 21 and 38 are not streaming, and 42 is still gone.

As I was posting several posts on the FlamingoTV and Flamingo-Internet-threads, I also feel the need to post something to tell about the conversation I had with one of the responsible persons at Flamingo (mr. R. Vos), a few days ago.

This is not yet in the English addition online which was last updated on the 29th. Perhaps it will appear there, just to satisfy the curiosity of the non Dutch speakers among us (like me!).

We are buying a house in Bonaire next year. I have read many comments about Flamingo TV. Has the service improved and how many channels do you get? Is there a satelite/direct TV provider that services Bonaire?

The TV aspect is fine. Sometimes channels disappear such at BET and Food Channel for weeks. Today my reception on HBO and Showtime was bad. The internet for days has been slow. During rainy season last Oct. and Nov. I had few days with internet. What can I say..I live on an island.
