I have used PC Star in Denia for my home in Las Rotas for the past 4 years with no problems. They are a very attentive Company. I pay 20e per month (pay 10mths for 12). I cannot advise if they cover your particular area.

Try using a tiny WIFI travel router (around 30 Euros from Amazon), with an unlimited data card from Vodafone (40 Euros) or 17 Euros from a mobile shop in Denia. It will work with any Smart TV, computer, laptop, phone, etc. and with multiple devices, just as any other wifi does.

Plug it in to a power source, and you can use it all over Spain, including the islands.

Mine´s an Alcatel travel router, or wifi router.  It´s black and about the size of a credit card and about quarter of an inch thick.  It plugs into a socket to charge, and one charge lasts about five hours.  I keep mine plugged in.  I would not buy a second hand.  Ebay has new for about 20 Euros.  Or you could try Amazon.  I bought mine in Denia, but it was expensive at about 60 Euros.

Right now i have a contract SIM card with Vodafone for about 40 Euros a month, which is way too much.  I could get the same card from a telephone shop for 17 Euros a month, which I plan to do.

I run two tv´s off it (internet connection only, but most smart tv´s have You Tube and a few other free chanels) and also my laptop, which has an IP address changer so I can watch telvision from around the World on that.  There´s nothing to prevent anyone from having more UK channels via a subscription or a firestick etc., keeping in mind that the router is simply a wifi connection device. 

The beauty of it is that you can take it anywhere with you in Spain and have instant wi-fi.  Same for the UK, if you change the SIM card to a UK one.

I hope this helps.
