When
I first saw that I thought it was hysterical.
For my mother-in-law was married to a Filipino for short time, and she
kept the name after divorcing him around 20 years ago.
No,
she does not speak Spanish. Never
has. Never will.
However,
the more I thought about it, the madder I got.
For I have no problem with those who have Spanish as their native
language being in this country, but I want them to want to be Americans.
Yes,
I understand that it is actually a brilliant marketing tool. For there are millions of Spanish-speakers
from sea to shining sea, but it really rubs me the wrong way when so many
absolutely refuse to integrate into our society.
Perhaps
I am over-reacting (again), but I look providing strictly Spanish-language
channels as being a step in the wrong direction. Bilingual would be different. For they could be very helpful with teaching
English as a second-language, pero ¿qué sé yo?
P.S.: FOX changed channels locally, and DIRECTV still
doesn’t have the new one available—EVEN AFTER OVER 8 MONTHS OF KNOWING ABOUT
IT! Yes, it may not be their fault, but
all of my sister-in-law’s inquiries about
the problem have been ignored.

Expect more and more of this. Anglos have 1-2 kids and then self-sterilize. Hispanics tend to favor much larger family sizes. Demographic changes are just the reality.
Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Lavender!!! What does it matter how many kids someone has in this country as long as they understand English?
You can’t really blame a company for advertising their options to new and existing customers. The fact that they chose to do so in bilingual fashion only reflects the socitity in which we live. They are just looking to capitalize on the customer base that’s already there. If a person speaks Spanish or any other language in their home, they should have TV in that same language if they want it. When it comes to that local FOX issue, you might want to check out my TV provider/employer DISH Network. They have recently added FOX stations in a few areas. I am not sure where your local is coming out of but DISH may have it.
Thanks for stopping by, my dear Anonymous!!! I understand your point, but it really rubs me the wrong way when people come here to live and refuse to actually become Americans, which should include learning the language. Other than that, I do not have a problem with immigrants of any kind.
As in regards to the FOX problem, DIRECTV finally added the new local affiliate here a couple of weeks ago, which came to affect us, as well. For after our cable bill went up dramatically last month, we signed-up for DIRECTV, and then we found out that our trees are too tall and numerous to get a signal. Since it would probably be about the same thing with the Dish Network, we are now exploring the possibility of watching TV over the internet, which I will tell all about when I can.
DirecTV is really making me mad and millions of other customer mad because DIRECTV customers as of November 1st are considering Dropping FOX channels from their line up and I mean all of them from there sports channels to their local channels. This would not be a good time to be a DIRECTV customers right about now. DISH (my employer and provider) carries all the FOX channels and it’s available on our online video portal to view new and previous episodes of your favorite show on Dish online.
Thanks for stopping by, my dear Connan!!! Thanks for the information. I will be checking out Dish Network's online offerings, for sure.
In regards to satellite access, there is an opening on our property that would allow for picking up the signals from all three satellites, but the installer said that the dish would be too far away to guarantee a good signal under even ideal conditions. When I asked him if there was any sort of signal-amplifier/booster available, he said that there wasn't, but there appears to be several especially for DIRECTV installations. I would think that they would be well aware of such since it would increase customer satisfaction. So, those signal amplifiers/boosters don't really work--right?
