TV SIGNAL

Has anyone had any problems with their TV reception?  We've been told that our's has gone. Has La Reserva gone digital recently? and can anyone advise on the best solution?

Best wishes to all

We were there last week and yes the TV signal for Spanish TV has gone.   Our Sky connection is fine.  We have been learning Spanish and actually have Spanish TV on more than we have Sky because we get a kick out of seeing how much we understand.  Manzana 4 has had a very tall digital aerial installed.  Lots of the townhouses on the way up the hill have digital aerials.  We had been told a couple of years back by the man in Worten that analogue would be going and we would need a Spanish freeview box.  Looks like we might need to get one - our community is not going to be able to fund a community digital aerial at the moment.  No wonder the Spanish residents in our block have ignored the rules and installed individual dishes on their terraces.

 Hello,

Digital signals replaced the analogue signals from the main tv transmitters all over Spain in January 2010 so the only signal to be received in the community (including manzana 5) is digital now. Sounds as though you must  still have analogue tv's? If so will need to buy a TDT digital receiver (or a digital television) to get a picture. We bought a new TDT receiver which was cheap (around 40 euros from Worten) and was easy to install. Can now watch the Spanish channels as before. Hope this helps.

Ver feliz!

 batman..... did you just plug into the existing socket in the wall or have you had a new digital aerial installed

We spotted this problem with local Spanish stations.

A quick visit to Leroy Merlin and a Freeeview digibox for about 20 euros, autotune in English and hey presto your are away...
