Hi

Advice please...

Best place to buy a tv, and do I then just plug it in ? (Or do I need Internet)

Cheers šŸ¤—

Carrefour has some good deals on TVs. Plenty of other places in Torrevieja.

Now, TV. If you only want Spanish TV which has 34 channels and can change the audio to English if that was the original language then you just need to plug it in to the aerial socket on your wall.

If you want all the UK or European channels then you will either need a satellite dish with all the cabling or an IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) which requires the internet and something like a firestick which has had apps downloaded onto it.

Another way is to have a company supply you with broadband to get the internet but who also provide UK channels as part of the package.

Hi Patricia,

Iā€™d highly recommend an electric shop at the top of the Avenue de Valencia   Youā€™ll see the Mercadona and many shops beside it. I think the shop Iā€™m referring to is called Euro electric but used to be Redder.  We bought our Smart tv there. We also bought a wall bracket so that we could swing the tv around and watch it from the patio. Two men were sent out who instilled it and set it up in English.  WE HAVE INTERNET and sky. Netflix is cheaper in Spain by far. If you have a sky dish but no receiver, theyā€™ll sell and set up a little box with all British channels on it. 

Whatever shop you visit, ask for installation advice.

Try  the Firestick man  who  is  based around  Torrevieja  area.  He  supplies  Firestick  with  100  of  channels  and he would  install  TV  also. He pops  over and back to  UK

0044 797  421  930.

Very   helpful 

Best of luck šŸ‘
