 Hi 

best bet  imo is to get  a dish fitted with either a sky box of freesat box from Argos at around £35, a 90cm dish will get you around 90 channels including radio and a 1.4 dish would get you BBC1 Sky 1 ITV channel islands and C4 most of the day.

They are lots of companies installing dish's at around 330ish now for a 1.4 system but be very carefull lots of cowboys around, speak to Paul at television technology for advice hes helped me greatly.

Lots of negatives around the re broadcasters and their legal status mainly loss of signal also the average 20e charge per month, whichever way you choose UK Tv is available in Spain.

 Best Regards

 if you can handle the drive without doubt its now more cost effective if you use the Dover/France ferry and are going for a min of say 3/4 weeks in the summer using budget hotels which can cost around 30 euros.Car hire in the summer is getting prohibitive due to the high cost.
