Do people rent TVs these days....? Usually people just buy one...

"Will also need help with setting it up for English channels equivalent to sky." - By "equivalent to sky" do you mean you want Sky UK? In which case you will need a dish (min 110x120cm), a Sky receiver, a Sky card, and Sky subscription. The Spanish equivalent to Sky UK is Movistar+, needs a small dish 60cm, a Movistar receiver and movistar+ subscription, (or a phone, internet, satellite tv bundle deal from movistar). But the content is Spanish (although you can change imported programmes language from dubbed Spanish to original), it does not carry the likes of BBC, ITV C4 or Five. Same goes for TV via a TV aerial (ie the Spanish equivilent of Freeview) , the 40 or so digital channels content is Spanish.
