Hi all, I hope you can help. Bit lost as I’m new but trying to sort out English tv. I already have ole internet 600mp. Is it best to have ole tv package at 60€ installation and 10€pm ongoing or not have it at all and plug in some kind of fire stick gadget?  Ole are saying g fire stick won’t work and we need their tv box to get any English channels. Any advice very  much appreciated. Thanks.

Check with Moller SAT/Clima in Torrevieja next to Iceland - they are the experts and speak your language

Unfortunately the website is all in Spanish and I can’t follow it that well. Need English speaking.

If you already have Internet then for a totally reliable IPTV service which you can turn on and off at will check out DVBLabs.

It's €15 for 30 days and you pay or you don't, you can do it over the phone with a card and they speak perfect English -  it's that simple.

You can, but don't don't have to, buy a box from them, if you have a MAG or other compatible box they will set it up for you at their office at Urb Monteazul not far from Quesada.

Downside for some is that they do not have much in the way of sport content.

Hi 

If you don't want internet, that is the reason a Firestick won't work - it operates using the internet.

 Cheers

You don’t need Internet for tv, as you can use a satellite dish but you will need it to use a Firestick, as these work via cabled internet or wi-fi

They are telling you fibs then! Probably pushing you to pay for their tv package, whereas you can get a whole host of channels, box sets etc for next to nothing on a Firestick, incl many paid for channels I such as Sky Sports, BT Sports, etc

It sounds like your current internet connection is slow, probably supplied via a small dish on your roof. For a Firestick to work well, you will need to upgrade your internet connection to fibre-optic - I suspect that is what Ole are trying to say.
