The TV channels available in Spain are pretty dismal (even if you speak the lingo!). To make life tolerable the only sensible thing to do (if only to keep up with home and world news), is to install a SKY digital satellite system. This consists of:

	A SUITABLE digibox or digital receiver
	A suitable LARGE parabolic dish - what size?
	An LNB* - (Low Noise Block - downconverter)
	A viewing card (if desired) *These are usually available from your dish supplier, or here

Depending on:

	Where you eventually settle, and
	How much you are prepared to pay, (both in subscriptions to SKY, and installation costs) , you will be able to view a differing number of the 'several hundred' channels available on the SKY system.

If you have a SKY contract in the UK, you could simply unplug the digibox bit, stick it in your hand luggage, and bring it to Spain.

Strictly speaking - if it was installed for free, or on one of the reduce price options, or still under a 'SKY Contract' - you shouldn't take it out of the country, and if it is still in the first year of the contract, it should be attached to a UK telephone line - (difficult if you are living on the Costa Brava!!).

However, if you bought it outright, - well it's yours, and up to you!

There are a number of suppliers in Spain (Mostly advertising in the free 'Brit' press), who will provide you with either a full system, or just a dish and LNB to connect to 'your' digibox. Some will even organise a viewing card for you, which can be useful if you haven't got a UK address

The cost of a 'full' system varies, depending on who you deal with, and the digibox and size of dish supplied. Some boxes work better than others, and you will definitely need a larger dish than the 44cm one supplied with the SKY box. (Click here to see dish sizes needed)

NOT ALL Digi-boxes are suitable for use in Spain, and if you plan to reside in southern Spain, a dish of at least 1 metre, or bigger is necessary if you want to receive most of the channels across.

The cheapest new systems bought and installed in Spain, start at around 550 Euros (400 quid approx.), and go up to over 1000 Euros for 'fully loaded system'.

So you really 'pays your money and makes your choice' when it comes to SAT TV.
