what sat dish zone is needed to operate a freesat system in Pinoso

You will need a min of a 125x135cm satellite dish for that area (you cannot go by the sky minidish zone 1 and zone 2 system as they will still be too small!) and a very good LNB.

And even then on that size dish not all channel may be available, especially the weaker ITV1HDs, UKTVGroup, and SD Quests, and also channels will still be lost in heavy rain.

Just a thought, but if your going to have internet, why not have a fire stick?

'Just a thought, but if your going to have internet, why not have a fire stick?'

You don't get the iplayer and UK content on a stock Firestick in Spain.

Work better in the UK, than Spain - otherwise you end up with a 'hacked' Kodi device, which does not operate in the same manner as the original Amazon stick - it is in effect stock android with some software loaded which allows you to scrape what is freely available on the internet. About as stable as jelly, technically unreliable and a favourite of the freebie hunters and cowboys which sell them on hacked. As a reliable TV system, would give a wide berth. I served my time with 4 years of Kodi support. Not for the average home user, who just wants to switch on their TV and watch it, not battle with instability and apps which don't work far too often. Also gets very technical very quickly, which is not suitable for most. 

Satellite best option for FTA - or pay Sky (through an agent probably if overseas) for Sky box and subscription. There are IPTV / internet TV alternatives, but the free ones are free for a reason, poor. If going the path of IPTV, a decent hosted solution, which involves a monthly subscription - but will give you access to the type of services you can't get from a satellite dish - such as catch up, video on demand as well as other premium  type content.

Thank for the info I will have a look.

Thanks for that info. Cheers.

Where is the best place to obtain an IPTV system and who is a good broad band installer/supplier please.

TV wise, www.televisiontechnology.eu long term established - [email protected] for info, or if want to speak to a human Sue 865774055 - though not sure if they have technicians locally to you - not that it matters with this type of service as supplied internationally and the decent hardware, is 'plug & play', so as long as your set up on the internet, it's plug in and work. I can advise you from offering support, that this type of equipment is a simple self-install, it's pre-setup. It needs to be simple, not everyone has access to service technicians as some people in little more remote locations than others.

Internet wise, that would be best dealt with more locally in Pinoso, as will vary from location to location - unlike the TV which is not such a variable as the service is remote. 

There seems to be Iberbanda in Pinoso, they also do rural.

There is also satellite internet, bit more costly, but faster for rural and can get anywhere - the one to use if you can't find anything else and need decent internet - an example of an unlimited tariff  https://www.skydsl.eu/en-ES/Personal/Internet-via-satellite/tariff/details/316

When it comes to recommendations of 'what is the best internet provider'?  This answer will vary simply based on location & as you are in a rural location, it is not a given for fibre optic. For internet type TV, the real numbers are 2Mbsp for SD and around 5-6Mbps for HD. I've seen wimax systems working on 6Mbps for TV and it's ok, but not optimal - a little quicker would be better, allowing ISP's to drop a little speed in peak use hours. Having said that anything on HD is on SD, so have a slightly lower screen resolution option, if internet not quite as fast as you hoped - but it does need to be stable at the minimum speeds mentioned above for reliable internet based TV.  

Conecta 3 are the main Internet provider in Pinoso. If you are living in town then they supply TV too. I live just outside in Culebron and use IPTV. It was installed by Stephen Ferguson who you should’ve able to find on Facebook site ‘Pinoso Buying Selling and Helping’.
