Hi All..  I am with a TV & Broadband company based in La Zenia but I find them really expensive and not very dependable.  I am not very well up on these things but can anyone tell me if it is cheaper to get a satellite on the roof than pay a TV/internet company?  It would need to be fairly discreet not big enough to call mars  :)))

Are there recurring charges with a satellite/ are they dependable?  Do I need to have internet for the satellite? And is there is a company around Lomas De Cabo Roig that can supply/set up for me?

thanks a million!

I got a satellite fitted 18 months ago, it picks up a good selection of British channels, I've had no problems and paid a one off cost of 300 euro so I feel it was good value.

Be very careful about IPTV, it is not all it is cracked up to be or what an installer might claim as it is an illegal streaming service. You need a strong and stable internet connection otherwise your TV picture will freeze and you will loose channels at times. We were taken in, got no refund from our installer and had to look around for other options and got Mike at Satmart Installations ( www.satellitetvtorrevieja.com ) to install a 1.4 metre dish. No premium sports channels but at least we now have TV we can view and the plus side is I have to go to the pub to watch the football.

No just the dish and the box the installer will supply for around 280-300€ one off payment. For internet we use Eurona, no dish required as it uses the 4G Mobile Phone signal, costs around 30€ a month, we got ours at the Phone Shop next to Cabo Roig roundabout on the N332, if you leave a refundable deposit they will let you try it at your property for a couple of days to see if it suits, then you get a new box for around 70€. Alternatively, every bar and restaurant has wifi.
