Can't flamingo like tell us the line up before changing it? And if they do I can't read the Language how about the announcement in English too?

I'm sorry I'm sick of Flamingo, they need to offer a better product. Even the internet is not great.

They cut off ESPN since last December. Asked Customer Service and she said she does not know when they will have it back. I missed the first week of Australian Open. Look like I won't be able to see the second week either. Now they cut off BBC and other channels.

I switched over to UTS, but not all is wonderful with them, either. I get strange Latin American versions of TBS, TNT, and Hallmark. The Cartoon Channel they show is just strange: it isn't Cartoon Channel from the USA, nor is it Cartoon Channel Latin America (and no "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" , "Moral Orel", or "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", so I'm unhappy), and a really funky set of cable boxes that need to be unplugged periodically to force them to reboot.

Is there anything like Dish Network or Direct TV available on the island?

The Latin American version of either DirecTV or Dish Network (I forget which) is available. Major US networks are intact, nearly everything else is a custom Latin American market version.

Kevin, thanks for the info. We hesitated to jump to UTS when FlaTV lost ABC, CBS and NBC last year just because of what you described. Hope FlaTV could get their problem solved before Wimbledon (sigh!)
