Just about to complete on a development and we were wondering, what is the norm for kitting ourselves out with UK channels? We were thinking that most residents probably don't want to look at a bunch of sat. dishes sticking out from numerous balconies, but it will probably take some time to fill our development up, so a communal one might not be happening for quite a while yet. Any suggestions? Margo

Hi Margo
Update your profile with your area in Spain & maybe your development & we'll advise.
We've just had Telmicro ( in Torrevieja area) put us English channels on but our community had them rig a mast in communal pool area first so no one needs a dish. Ask your President to organise this if possible, makes it so much neater.

On our development an owner pays the €500- €600 for their system, which includes dish, box, installation, etc, usually fitted out of the way on a roof. The dish is fitted with a quad lnb which allows four outputs from the dish. You can get an octo quad, but apparently they are not very reliable. If anyone else wants satellite, they plug their box into one of the feeds and pay the person that originaly had the dish installed €75 towards the cost.

At Christmas we paid 490€ for installation & box & a years rental upfront was 205€ to Telmicro. During the year they often do special offers but we wanted it sorted for Christmas & were prepared to pay full price. As I said before our community had Telmicro install a communal mast by our communal pool.

Your development will already (by law) be set up to receive Spanish Terrestiral Digital TV. Buy a cheap receiver in any local store such as Carrefour, and you will get 25 or so channels. Any that broadcast programs originally made in English (movies etc) you can change the language back to English. It's a start, and other than that, start watching Spanish TV to help improve your Spanish (like I do - not!)
