Hi. We have a holiday home and we'd like to watch British channels TV whilst we're in Spain. We have Internet and a landline phone that we use when we're on holiday. I'm not sure what we need to be able to watch tv. Is there a Spanish equivalent to freeview/freesat or would we need a monthly subscription setup. Is it cheaper to have a tv/phone/Internet package or have an internet/phone package and have a freeview equivalent. I've heard of a sort of pay as you go service that you control use of, online. Can anyone please advise as its all a little confusing. TIA.

Hello there! 

When we moved here last July we had a similar dilemma. Our solution was to pay a one off fee of €300 for all British TV channels. That’s forever. I also have WiFi for which I pay €23 per month but can be suspended if away for any length of time. Both services have been superb! If you want more details I can give you numbers to contact!

Most internet providers also seem to sell TV boxes. They are around 100 euro and give the main channels plus a few more. If you also want catch up you would also need to pay a monthly subscription. Ask your internet provider.

Hi

Can you tell me who your broadband provider is please? I'm looking for a decent connection in Banus.  Also, do you know if all providers can be turned on and off for when we're not in the apartment or am I better off just paying monthly

Thanks

Hi

I use WiFixpress for the internet connection and it’s €23 per month. You can suspend payments if you are away. Details on Google.

The TV man who set up the British tv for me can be reached on
