Pay television

Dish México

Main article: Dish México

The main MVS pay television service is Dish México. Dish México is a company that operates a subscription satellite television service in Mexico. On December 1, 2008, Dish México began to operate in Mexico, after an agreement between Dish Network and MVS. Since 2022 MVS has owned 100% of Dish México. Prior to that, Echostar owned 49% and MVS owned 51% of Dish México. All of Dish México's channels programming are dubbed or subtitled in Spanish or originally Spanish language. Dish does not beam Televisa or TV Azteca network locals due to a dispute between Dish and Televisa. Televisa wants to charge Dish México per subscriber for its feeds of free over the air Televisa networks. Dish, however, leases an HD receiver with a terrestrial antenna input which when connected to an over the air antenna picks up digital local stations signals free of charge.
