wints Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 johnnerontheroad - 2014-03-03 7:58 PM Getting SKY News (for what it's worth "Crap") here on the Algarve van next to me getting all his SKY channels with his pay card. Both on Oyster 85cm Dave But do 'his Sky channels' include bbc, itv, etc? We're currently on Marjal in Spain, and can't get any bbc, itv using my 1 metre dish. Can get Pick, Sky news, and lots of other rubbish, but these I can get using the roof mounted Maxview semitronic. We got all brit tv as far down France as Brive, our next stop at Leucate Plage we'd lost them. Here at Marjal we get bbc1, bbc2, itv's 1 & 2, via the services bollard. regards Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JudgeMental Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 peter - 2014-03-04 5:05 PM Still got bbc etc at Almafra. Cheers Peter, when you heading back we are down around 15th April....... have just heard from site we use and BBC/ITV still in service.....but sites tend to have massive fixed dishes so thats why i guess. Just make sure your TV has an analogue tuner to avoid disappointment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKen1 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have a 1.9 mtr in the garden and lost nothing here in Rojales ( nr Catral/ Marjal Camping )as you say the campsites will have 1.9/2.4mtr dishes ..A few people are getting all on a 1mtr but the safest minimum is a 1.4 parabolic now the dust has settled. Why would you want an analogue tuner Judge?? Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughmer Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Sorry its a bit old news but here's the local Paper's take. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47599247/BBC%26ITV%20no%20more%20in%20Spain%20Feb14.pdf Note "Misery for Brits" is headline news in the "GOOD NEWS PAPER" Frankkia - 2014-01-31 Looks like Filmon are going to get a lot more fans Camp sites will have to either invest in some big dishes or some pretty hefty bandwidth for their broadband. Our neighbour here near Guadamar showed us his Filmon Google App. Very impressed, - so downloaded the Microsoft version to my Windows 8.1 Laptop.. And guess what.. just like half the other W8.1 apps...it not work. (Off topic ....Web chat is all about an imminent Microsoft fix, - Win8.2 maybe. But for time being stay clear of Win 8.) Fortunately we do have "My expat.net" which gets us all the UK TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
