[vietboi]

[dtsexpert]

No. But there are 2 Vietnamese radio on AMC4 @ 101W
http://www.lyngsat.com/amc4.shtml
Freq 12120, Vertical, SR 30000.
Vietnamese Public radio 1
Vietnamese Public radio 2.
Both are availbe 24/24 from Washington DC.
It's cool to listen to them since these radio channels are "anti-communist", so you can see both sides of the same topic.

i heard from a friend that there are satellite channel from california, but you have to pay for it..do you know anything about that?also, i was searching on the web and i found this vietnamese channel on echostar1." target="_blank">http://www.vtvsat.com/viet_setup.htm... on echostar1.

They are the local channels on DishNetwork which just happens to carry Vietnamese program (1/2 or 1 hours a day). They used to be FTA when DishNEtwork re-allocated their channels. The info on that site is out-of-date. They are encrypted now, therefore can't be watched using FTA receiver. Even if you are a DishNetwork subscriber, you can't get them either unless you live in the area where the local channels are intended for.

Check this out. http://www.sbtn.tv/index.html I don't know whether we have to pay for this or it includes in the dave or charlie's package. Does any one know????

[MDProuty]

SBTN says that they are on dave and charlie as well as certian cable providers. The real question is are they on or going to be on FTA? I didn't see any reference to FTA on their website.

These guys will never be FTA IMHO; they run a professional broadcast facility and unlike many FTA channels they are not government funded. SBTN is available in parts of Canada on Rogers Cable Ethnic Pack (digital only) -- no word if ExpressVu or StarChoice will pick it up.

do you know what channel SBTN program on DTV & Dishnet work ??
thanks :lol:

SBTN (Saigon Broadcasting Television Network) is hosted by International Channel Networks (http://www.internationalchannel.com/...vietnamese.asp). They say that they are not yet available to view on Dish Network or Direct TV. They have a link to sign a letter to request these channels be added. However, SBTN (http://www.sbtn.tv) claims that their channel is available on Dish Network and Direct TV. I have not called them yet to verify this. International Channel Networks is probably correct since they are the host. If I find out any more on this, I will let everyone know. It would be nice to have more options for viewing Vietnamese television.
