norman: You may still be able to receive UK TV in Spain, dependent on your locus and existing equipment - particularly the size of your current dish. I would keep a check on the English language press for comments and also the ads there-in from ex pat installers living and working in your area.

Sky shares will crash. There are over 500000 people & bars illegally paying (using UK addresses). Amazed that that Sky hadn't spotted that it will lose £150,000,000 per year revenue!

I am still getting a signal, but We were visited by a company specialised in Internet in the South of Spain that has workd with some Resorts in Estepona and they gave us a very interesting white papaer they have produced on the options available.
They told me I could share it, so here it goes link:

We're planning on visiting the Cadiz area of southern Spain late 2013 in our touring van and I'm trying to decide the best option for us to be able to view the major UK TV channels whilst we're there.
I'm looking at getting a AVTEX W164 DRS TV/DVD/Satellite decoder combination along with a Focus 855 portable dish. Will this work, and what else will I need to get?

Thanks, Eric

Any modern sky or sat box and a dish over 1.2 mtrs will probably get you uk tv channels. no need for fancy boxes .its the dish size that matters, bigger the better.(1.5) but if your going along the costa del la luz,why will you want tv? Tarifa to visit,the fantastic atlantic beaches Walks/Drives ,Roman town of Baelo Claudia,Midina sidiona, Parque naturales, Cadiz and Puerto Santa maria sherry town!lots and lots of places to see, and of couse kite surfing? wind speed along this coast can be a challenge.try your spanish out, Gusta

We currently receive satellite TV in our duplex in Vera Playa Spain . We can receive free view or use our card for Sky TV. When the Astra 2E comes into operation we will not receive the KU band UK spot beam . Will the KU band Europe Beam be used for UK TV programmes and if so will it be by free to view or pay to view. Will the Sky card be of use.

I have a house in La Cal di Mijas on the costa del Sol, 35 kilometres from Malaga and 24 kilometres from Marbella.
How can I obtain any British TV channels in this area please.
