Are Banks cutting Back on lending

Hi can all the people in each block who would like sky share one sky dish and the cost ,as we all have to pay and get are own sky box and card anyway as it is now the end of february and still no tv bye irene/peter

Any news on when we can have sky tv yet ? I will have it as soon as possible. Have the people that put dishes up without permision had to take them down?.

Andy

We are almost there. If all goes well the contracts will be signed tomorrow.

Hi Max

Is that for Sky ? I dont mind if its Sky but I would like some options for what we can watch other than the Spanish TV.

Hi Max

Can you let us know on this site when the satelite dishes are due to be installed, and again when they have actually been installed so that we can order our boxes. Also can you let us know the details and phone number of the company, so that we can arrange installation with them. What is the actual process of getting a box installed once the dishes are up. Does it mean a cable going from the dish, down the outside of the building to our apartment, like in the UK. Will the installer need access to the apartment. Or will we just need to plug the box into the aerial socket already installed in the apartment to receive a signal.

Thanks

Hi Max,

That is such good news about the sky dishes and we thank you for your time and effort getting this sorted - we are delighted to be able to get English T.V. as we are sure many more of you are as well. Thanks again.

The Gemsat people are on site today installing the first dish. I walked up the road and there were all these people wanting to talk to them! What amazed me was that before I even got to the top of the hill I was already being asked questions like. Were they definitely the cheapest? Where can I see all the quotations? So to clarify the situation. Although not in any way opposed to a communal satelite system the president was worried about spending to much community money on them as we may well need the money we´ve got for other things (I´ll report on that under community matters). All the original proposals required the community to pay for the dishes. The deal that has been negotiated with Gemsat is that they own and maintain the dishes in return for being the official sole supplier for the community. They were the only company prepared to offer this deal. It will be a quality instalation with big dishes and proper boosters and splitters. The only amount you have to pay Gemsat is the 195€ for connecting you to their dish and bringing the cable to your apartment. After that you can bring your own box from home, buy one from Gemsat or another supplier of your choice. Personally I will buy one from them because even if it is a few Euros more they will then be responsible for ensuring I am left with a good working system.

Well done Max and Dave. Cant wait to get it into block 4. Anybody else in block 4 that wants it? the sooner we let max know, the sooner we get it.

hi hi

Thanks to Max and Dave for the good deal with TV

We are in block 4 and would like TV  - but we would  like a danish channel. Hope that will not delay the process.

What channels do you get if you want SKY? Is SkY the only one?  I have tried to find out about the possibilities in having a Danish channel and some others. Gemsat replied very quickly - he would try to find out. It seems to be a good compagny to get hold on.

 

Well done Max/ Saskia & Davemunster on getting the Sky and dealing with all of the other problems. We think you are doing a marvelous job.

Just want to second what Janmet said. Keep up the good work, we all appreciate it.

For those of you looking to get Sky in the bedrooms as well, dont forget you will only be able to watch what is on your box in the living room, not 2 different channels at the same time. The only way to watch 2 different channels is if they run another line from the dish which he is charging €100 for, and you will need to buy a second box as well. The connections to the bedrooms also depends on the type of tv you have. If you have plasmas or TV's from the UK that is ok, any others I was told would have to be checked on the day of installation.

Hello all, yes well done Max we have finally got there with the communal dishes.   I have been living  here for seven months now and was one of those who couldn't wait and had my own system fitted.   I went for the cheap option (euro satellite solutions) and have had nothing but trouble, because of the quality of the dish, so they get to come back out and re-align it and charge you 40euros.           I now strongly advise  people against this cowboy outfit and when Gemsat were recomended to me I have used them ever since..   They might be slightly more expensive then other cowboys in the local paper but there after sales sevice is excellent.  They install your system without interfering with the existing spanish cables (I still wanted the spanish TV ) unlike Euro-sat who just used that cable and lost me 40 channels.    I haven't been active on this site for a while (no phone lines on Don Juan remember) but have just got connected with IVERBANDA same as Max so I feel that we have joined the world again.   I am glad to here you all thanking Max for his efforts, he is doing far more beyond the call of duty,  which we see on a daily bases.

Hello all

This is all very interesting regarding the dishes.

I had a system fitted by the dealer behind Gardenia Park which I think may be the one calv is referring to but I am sure you will correct me if it is not.  This was fitted over a year ago in another apt and I have and I found them to be friendly, efficient, and until now no problems at all.  I am sure that, in common with all companies, there are good reports and bad reports.  Personally my view is that even though Gemsat may or may not be expensive, they are the appointed company so the option is simple we either pay their rate or switch the TV off!  I am with Davmunster on one thing though at least if Gemsat supply the box and dish etc if there are any faults then either way they are the ones to sort it.  That is the reason I am prepared to pay their price and anyway, calv says they are ok and he has experience of them.

Just wanted to say thanks to Max/Saskia and David for finally getting the Sky deal sorted. We may not always have the time to say thankyou or support you all in a more practical way -  but rest assured we really appreciate everything that you do for us and the good of the community 

When we are there you must come to aour aprtment for abeer when coronation street is on - see if we can get you hooked aswell.............Again thanks

Hi all..    

                              I am glad that the people who needed to have the sky dishes in stalled have finally succeeded,  however I was wondering what will happen to the illegal ones already installed,  what if they have caused damage to the roof of these apartments?.  How many dishes are going to be installed for all nationalities?.  and what effect will all these dishes have on the people living immediately below ?  Can the dishes be erected on the lift shaft roof?.  I am sure between someone out there will have the answers.

                                                                                                                                         Happy viewing Bevron.
