You will need a Freesat+ (Freesat Plus) box or a generic Freesat recorder box. Take a look at Argos, Currys or John Lewis. Their product description will tell you how they work, plus buyer reviews will tell you how they are performing out in the real world. Or simply Google " freesat recorder". Important note - freeview boxes will only receive/record Spanish programmes, not the UK ones like BBC and ITV.

Tamsin, Freeview in Spain is for Spanish TV programmes. ( Some programmes have a "Dual Language" broadcast which can be switched to the English version via the Menu button on your remote. IF your TV supports this function ).

You can install a satellite dish and have it connected to a satellite receiver. This, when pointed in the right direction ( 28.2E ), will allow you to pick up UK Freesat broadcasts ( all usual BBC ITV C4 C5 etc ). There are many installers who can provide this setup. Perhaps there are recommendations on this site. Cheers, Bill

Another problem these days is that, due to the increase in free wifi in bars, internet cafes are closing down at a rate of knots. This means finding locals willing to let you use their printing facilities. Easier said than done.

Hi Southern Girl

I think there's an AGM next week which should report on progress, if any. Hope we get the minutes quickly.

Did you receive the email from Vivendoo stating that work by Ibderderola has started ? Here it is .... Bill

ALL OWNERS ARE INFORMED THAT IBERDROLA HAS CARRIED OUT THE REVISIONS ON THE EXISTING ELECTRICAL LINES THAT WILL PROVIDE POWER TO EACH PROPERTY,

AND TO COMPLY WITH THE DEADLINES ESTABLISHED FOR THE DEFINITIVE RECEPTION OF THE

DEVELOPMENT BY THE TOWN HALL, IBERDROLA HAVE INFORMED THAT

TOMORROW 26TH OF MARCH THERE WILL BE NO ELECTRICITY IN EL PINET FROM 8AM TO 5PM.

IBERDROLA WILL BE CONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL CABLES ON THE TOWERS THAT ARE BEING PUT UP AT THIS MOMENT. THIS WILL ALLOW THE OVERHEAD CABLES THAT CROSS THE DEVELOPMENT TO BE TAKEN DOWN. THESE OVERHEAD CABLES ARE THE ONES THAT PROVIDE ELECTRICITY TO THE PROPERTIES AND HOSTELS AT THE SEA FRONT. THE WOODEN POLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET IN M8 IS ALSO BEING TAKEN DOWN. THIS WILL ALLOW SAN JOSE TO INSTALL THE MISSING LAMP

POSTS. WE WILL KEEP YOU UP DATED AS WORK PROGRESSES. WE HOPE THIS ELECTRICAL CUT DOES

NOT CAUSE YOU ANY INCONVENIENCES. THE COMMUNITY
