Living with the Presidente.

A tongue in cheek account of living with the Presidente, OR how to survive and extended 'family' of 183.

Soon we will be LEGAL.....................

It's arrived ! ! !

We are having a LEGAL satellite English TV system installed, the concrete bases for the two apartment blocks are being put in today and the dishes and all the wiring will be put in at the end of the week.

Each owner will pay a one off fee for the installation ( which means that although it is a Communal System, the cost has not been taken from Community fees, so if anyone doesn't want to take advantage of this offer then their monies will not go towards it, which should save a lot of arguement Community wise. )

Everyone who opts for this system can buy their own box thingy for their own apartment so they can decide what sort of one they want.

There will be NO monthly payments and all the programmes from Astra 2 will be available, depending on which box you have.

AND......................it is LEGAL.....................so now we can stop discussing TV instead of the weather and El Presidente can stop searching the net for everything TV related and I can have my computer back ! ! !

My ankle is still twice the size it should be and is a lovely shade of blue/black and I still cannot get my shoes on, so I've given road bowling a miss this morning !

I was just looking in the Argos catalogue. You can buy a Freesat receiver for £49. Not sure how much they are in Spain, but for anyone coming out at Christmas, it may be an idea to pop one in the suitcase!

Cool!

Don't forget you can also buy High Definition (HD) Freesat boxes, which will pick up all the 'free-to-air' SD and HD transmissions.
