"So can we buy a freesat box in Spain or should we buy here?"

You can buy them from a UK TV installer in Spain (as the major shops will not stock them) or buy them in the Uk.

"And are dishes easy to have installed?"

All depends on the install location. Ideally installed on a concrete block wall (or on the floor), sheltered from the winds as much as possible.  You may need to seek permission if you are installing in a communal area.

To the OP (clint), if you want to keep Sky, and get your UK TV direct from Sky in HD, but reduce the amount you are paying, you can always contact them and ask them if there is a deal available...you can get as much as 50% off if you ask.

Drop me a message or see my website ( www.satandpcguy.com) if you want more information about satellite TV installs and even internet tv in the area

Hi all

We move over very soon should we keep our sky box and account and can it work in Spain?

The villa we are renting apparently has broadband so I guess we should cancel our broadband?

Thanks in 

Hi Clint

So much confusion, why would you want to keep SLY TV if you are paying a fortune for it, if you have INTERNET of around 10 or above as starter as it not that high in the evenings it always drops.

You can have IPTV with 3 times what you have now from SLY at massively reduced cost and as I said more content.

Please private message me if you require any further information.

I have been here 16 years installing TV  if you look on the right hand side my 2 adds are there.

Regards Pete

Try Base Satellite in Dénia,  they provide all Sky Channels and have a UK TV option which overcomes the call back problem.
