MVS Comunicaciones (MVS) is a Mexican media conglomerate. The company owns MASTV, MVS Radio operator of four national radio networks, MVS Televisión operator and distributor of 7 pay television networks, E-Go wireless broadband internet and 51% of Dish México.[1]

Pay television

Dish México

The main MVS pay television service is Dish México. Dish México is a company that operates a subscription satellite television service in México. On December 1, 2008, Dish México began to operate in México, after an agreement between Dish Network and MVS. Echostar owns 49% and MVS owns 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.[2]
