1 get a 1.1 metre dish put up will give you most of free sat U.K. Channels cost about €250 euros pros no more payments cons some channels fluctuate particularly in wind , dish looks horrid , satellites may move again as happened once before leaving it useless although this could be 10 years away
2 use an iPad PCs etc connected to tv over broadband with something like film on again access to most uk channels pros free if you have broadband cons again not guaranteed long term but works now tried it last week. Also if using iPad etc you may need a special lead to connect and it's a pain to change channels and you can't use PCs while to on.
3 get a dedicated TV over the Internet box , there are a few of these in GA now and you purchase a jail broken one for about €100 you will need to ask around about who sells them. Pros free and free access to premium channels ie sport and movies etc also can be taken to uk where it will have ability to watch 3pm sat football live cons may have adult channels unlocked , at some point sky etc will get them closed down but this could take years
4 GATV
5 Grannet fibre you community may have a 2.5 meter dish that can be accessed by a free sat box ask in Grannet

I retuned ours a few weeks ago, there's about 20 tv channels and about the same number of radio channels, although as long as I've got Radio 2 I'm quite happy.

Here;s your solution. Works through Tinternet. Global tv and sports stations and films also.

I can confirm this is a good option, brought ours over on our last visit for the kids (invaluable for the hotest part of the day). As long as you've a reasonable internet speed it's perfect and offers so much more than live British TV!

I have the same system in the UK on a standard 600mm Sky dish. It connects to my wifi at home and it is possible to get all the sports, films and other scrambled channels for 10 euros a month. It cost £38 off ebay including the wifi antenna.
Post by: David D on June 20, 2016, 10:01.
Dave I forgot to ask you who your broadband suppliers are, would it be possible to give me the contact details and pricesHello Steve,
Cheers Steve
Through recommendations on the forum & enquiring myself, I worked out that the best for me was Granalacant tv.Because I have a holiday home it means I don't need the Internet on at all times so whenever you are going over to Spain you just email them & they turn it on for you,there are other companies that also do this for you but charge you for this.Thats why I am gonna go for them.You will find there details in the GA advertiser.

There were big problems last week with Iberdola shutting off power etc.
You can usually get a faster speed on your internet if you ask your provider to bump it up but this may cost more.

You can also download other links/sites e.g. http://rainierland.com/, where you can watch latest movies. Don't know how they get hold of them but last week saw "Sully" (with Tom Hanks) which isn't released until Xmas.

I nipped to see Asun at GATV to see if I could get 10mbs from my "internet dish", I can.
Asun informed me that the small mesh receiver I currently use to watch TV on will not be supported by them for much longer.
I don't want a 1.3 metre dish on my roof so it looks like this is the way to go.
Thanks Mike

Took about five minutes to get it out of the box and up and running............I thought what a load of tosh!!
Apart from lots of pornography that worked great sod all else would let me watch anything at all, it nearly went in the bin.
I spent an hour on the internet reading various pages and watched a few videos on YouTube, I then deleted virtualy all the add-ons and installed 123 Movies, Exodus, UK Turks playlist, FilmOn and a few more...........the result brilliant!!
We only have about 5Mbs here in the UK, but we are watching the latest film at HD quality with no buffering
At the £30 price I'm going to order another, one for Spain and one for here.
My internet provider here in the UK blocked my access to rainerland, I'll have a go at getting it in Spain.
Regards all and thanks to those who made me aware of Kodi!!

We currently enjoy all the premiership on BT. We get the sky channels as well, but are unable to get the HD stuff.
Box was a 1offfrom eBay with 3 year "gift package" ie all unscrambled, for £60. Have bought the same & fitted in Cornwall. All the sport, all the movies, but after a month or so, you realise the "couch potato," syndrome is a real possibility, & you tend to fight your way back to a real world where people exist the other side of their mobiles, & the power of speech still exists.
Old fart?

Hi chaps, have a satellite dish that can probably be spotted from space on top of our house for tv which seems to do its job but would like the Saturday footie and a bit extra such as film channels.

Asun did tell me that it would be being terminated when I spoke to her in October
Luckily my £30 Kodi box is proving to be a great buy and will meet our viewing needs in GA

The reason for my long term bleak outlook .... are they not "pirating" and file-sharing programmes ? Where is it "legal" to watch a live Premier League games in the UK or Spain or a movie that is only just at the cinema now ?
If you are paying £35 to £55 fair enough .... but dont go mad !
