Been thinking about this for a few weeks now so thought i would ask you lot and see what you think before i dive in.

Only got 22 Spanish channels on my tv at the mo and am thinking about getting something to watch in English, but do i go for just the English package or do i go for Sky- i know sky will be dearer.

Your opinions as always are much appreciated

You know something Jenny? I watch Spanish TV newsfeeds and I'm still noe the wiser. My reading and written Spanish is improving, though. A friend has recommended that I attend a local Spanish group, attended by (obviously) Spanish people drawn from the local community. They use the group as a forum to 'meet and greet' and catch-up with each other. They meet on Wednesdays and Sundays, and I'm going to arrange to attend on Sunday. Will let you know how it goes....

That's a good idea Jama.

I think we might just go for the english package........this is of course when we have some money coming in

We decided that this way we can escape to the pub when the football is on as we wouldn't have it on in the appt

Good excuse eh

[Ezzy]

Brilliant excuse hehe and that way you can see whether you will use more than the basic channels xx

The English package is bbc 1 and 2, itv, channel 4 and with some you also get channel 5 and mbc2, but these are either pay for installation and then monthly or buy it outright with a yearly maintenance fee.

[Dianne]

Fiona, what sort of cost are you getting quoted for the english channels ??

[Treble99]

I have just had brit tv installed. I had canal plus before.

The cost is €120 instalation then €45 euros per month. This package includes BBC1,2 ITV1,Channel 4 and 5 and MBC2 Film channel. Without the film channel the package is €40 per month. This is with Miller Rental.

Another company who advertise on OasisFM are offering a deal of €680 install then €90 per year after that.

Hope this helps

I believe there is a company over there that you can pay a one off fee to be connected to the 5 brit chanells and there is no monthly fee ?? I may be wrong, but I am sure I was told of this as it is installed in one of the apartments I viewed in July when I was over.

If you have adsl you can now view british tv over the internet 22 E a month i think no min contract.
