Is Sky TV available in Antequera if you have your own dish and Sky box?

You can get Sky News FTA CNN and other stuff on SAT and a few channels like F1 and sports with a UK pay card. But most Channels have gone now, internet is a better way for most now but you need a VPN so cannot detect you are in Spain. With this with a UK address you can watch iPlayer. They need an E mail address registered with so not problem if you still pay a UK licence.

In Southern Spain it's recommend you use a 180cm (1.8m) dish for a reasonable reception, however, you’d be wise to install a much bigger dish of 240cm (2.4m) if you want to ensure continuous uninterrupted channel reception in most weather.
