As someone who initially bought a system specifically for Spanish language television I recommend a Universal lnbf, receiver with USALS and multilanguage OSD which includes Spanish, the SG2100 motor & a 90cm dish.

The Mercury II has the features described above and has excellent picture quality. I personally lean towards the Platinum for ease of setup but the picture quality is not as good as the Mercury II along with not much available in the way of support. The CI feature is useless in the US at this time.

Many Spanish language channels are available on C Band which will require a much larger dish. For a system as described above you should expect about 50 - 55 channels of television depending on how much of the arc you can see from your location.
