thanks for that info

Any ideas how much would a 4 dish system cost? . We already have the wireing in place through the communal sockets.

I am one of the many unfortunate residents who have forked out for Telemicro. 

Could someone answer these questions
1) Would a large dish on the roof of an apartment block provide a signal to supply all the residents (144 apartments)

2) if so what sort of reciever would they need (Would existing sky receiver or Coship box do)

3) Would you recieve british channels or would a viewing card be needed

Hi Tricia and Dave,

The locals celebrate christmas as a holy affair, and the feast of the kings as the present giving time. It's funny going into big stores on 29th December and still hearing "santa clause is coming to town" playing on the tannoys. New years eve will see the local bars closed but Bar elite, and the dragon etc are open as usual. The locals have street BBQ's and the party starts at midnight when everyone eats a grape on each chime of midnight (trust me it takes some doing!!)

There is a big parade to the square on 5th January with toys and sweets being passed to the children. Main presents are presented to the children by the 3 kings on a stage in the square. Not to be missed.

Most shops are open as usual as is the market except on public holidays.

As for me, I'm back out on 25th August for a week, and 27th Oct for a week. Hoping to get time for crimbo but I usually work so have to wait and see.

If you're over at same time give us a knock at 214

Hi Pickles,

Christmas is a pretty quiet affair and most people celebrate the feast of the kings. It had a real Christmassy atmosphere with presents being exchanged between people in the town square.

It was great to celebrate christmas at home only to go to spain and see the build up all over again.

Can't wait till the next one
