Title: English Soap Channels
Post by: Kim Watts on March 12, 2017, 19:16.: Hi
Soon to be moving to GA and are keen UK soap followers. Can anybody advise on a good provider and approx monthly cost. We have heard some providers give poor picture quality. Are there also any providers that would give us all the Virgin channels we receive in the UK.
Kind Regards
Kim.

Regards all

This system has given free tv consistently all this time, thats not say its the best just consistent, like many in ga we have seen so many new tv packages come and go simply because they are illegal reception in some form or another. Saying all that streaming is also looking pretty stable. I look at these things simply as, can i get a year of free tv, once thats achieved then if the signal gets blocked which it has many times then i move on. Nothing in spain is guaranteed!

I use this coupled to an Openbox V8S which is better than the receiver they supplied. They also came and refitted my dish free when the recent gales blew it off my wall.
