Sky works just about anywhere in Europe - and even farther afield - it just depends on having a big enough dish!

Can't say for Sax in particular but typically in Spain you need either 1.4 or 1.8m.

I use Sky in Sax. All the same channels that you receive in UK, depending on what package you choose. IPlayer not available. You need a Sky Box - I have Sky+HD box.

I’ve looked at some of these proxy sites but haven’t yet found one that is free. I record most of the progs I wish to see so not worth paying the extra. Thanks anyway for yr reply.

Hi,

My name is Terry and have just moved near to Sax and would appreciate some advise on the best place to go to for broadband/sky etc...

Any advise would be appreciated.

Look forward to hearing back from you.

I use BaseSatellite and found it through Google. I use my old existing box in one room and got a new box from them for the main living room. They provide viewing cards  and i have 1 card with the full package and am currently paying 40 Euros per month for all channels (hd) sports and films and am contracted for 18 months.The other box I only get the freeview channels without a card. Base Satellite send everything via courier and we have not incurred any problems, the only thing is we already had a satellite dish connected so not sure how it would work if you don't, I'm sure they would advise you.
