I wasn't talking about him watching TV. Its not so easy to go out in the evening when you have a four year old asleep in his bedroom.My youngest grandchildren, 3, 4 and 6 dont watch telly.
Terrorists, though......

Where are you? We are heading to Moraira in February and are wondering what channels to expect. Think our dish is 1.6 or 1.8m.
Used to get very poor choice until they reorganised the satellites last winter and don't want to go back to that situation.

We have a house in Orihuela Costa, where the dish is.
The boats in the Torrevieca.
I must admit we got better reception when they moved the satellite last year.
But it now looks like this will decrease over the next few years.

Like the other posters I struggle to get UK tv and now have an "illegal" sky box and subscription, though can't get BBC, ITV, 4 or 5. Isn't it about time that we could actually subscribe to the UK stations legally, via a tv licence payable in the UK? Just how many Thousands are watching English TV without paying across the continent? It would be interesting to know.

Having just been back to the UK and seen all the rubbish that's on, I fail to understand why anyone is bothered about trying to get it overseas...... We have DVD's to watch when reading books or playing games gets a bit boring. If there's something that really has to be seen (can't imagine what) then there's always filmon or expat shield.

"Many thousands are watching English TV" (me included) but paying a lot via cable services, for which the UK providers are charging. I have no choice, cable services are a monopoly difficult to avoid here in Switzerland, provided by default similar to electricity for entire residential properties.
At the same time I am still able to pick up the full Astra 2 gamut of all UK channels (including the +1 hour ones) with a 60cm dish, installed before the cable service started supplying them. So the new tighter footprint is not so much tighter.

There are many expats who live abroad because they like the sun. They don't necessarily like foreigners though and don't want to watch funny foreign TV with greasy presenters, much preferring the vacuous morons on UK tv.Having just been back to the UK and seen all the rubbish that's on, I fail to understand why anyone is bothered about trying to get it overseas......
