Hi, does anyone know if Benimar has cable TV installed, and if so, what's the costs per month.

We already have a shared dish on the roof with a satellite receiver which gets basic English channels for free. Can this be upgraded to get more channels.

Thanks in advance.

No change in dish or alignment should be requried, as if you are already getting the free UK TV channels, then the pay ones come from the same three UK TV satellites..

Hi thanks for that.

Do I need to go online for the sky deal, or is there a shop in the area?

Sky UK will only issue cards to UK addresses.

Sky UK T&Cs say the cards cannot be used outside the UK.

Sky will only install the new SkyQ boxes at a UK address.

So not a good idea going to Sky UK direct....

So if you want to do something when in Spain, you will need to seek a local installer who may be able to help you out with this...
