Living with the Presidente.

El Presidente ( obviously SOLEY responsible for the apparent demise of TM ) and moi have spend an unbelieveable amount of time on the internet and talking and reading about TV.

I don't DO TV, but attempting to be a supportive Mrs Presidente, I have been up to the neck in this TV stuff.

Now we know that the only LEGAL way to get British TV is with a big dish directly pointing at the Astra 2 satallite, and believe you me we have explored EVERY other possibility, at least one of which involved what we were told was a perfectly legal cigarette packet sized dish thingy ( I got quite excited !! )............................but it turned out that this cowboy was coralling the signal from another illegal re broadcaster and palming it off as his own !!!

I have masses of paper via the internet ( what did we do without it?? ) and let me tell you that although there are dozens of chanels available from the Astra 2 satallite, there are probably only about eight which may be of any general interest.

So, El Presidente and moi thought, what we need is a big dish on each apartment block ( we have a TV room on each roof so we can accommodate a big thingy.....................no rude comments please !! ) then each owner can join in with this LEGAL system if they want by purchasing the relevant box for thier apartment and paying a connection fee with NO monthly payments. So far we are STILL waiting for a costing. They ( the installers ) seem to be making heavy weather of it.......................to me it seems simple ( perhaps because I am a woman and blonde ?? ) ..................put the dish up, wire it into the TV room and give us an individual connection price and owners can buy whichever box they want cos being Community El Presidente CANNOT mantion Sky, but individual owners can please themselves what they do.

SIMPLE.................................................NO ! ! !

Best offer we have so far is to put the dish up and quite a reasonable connection charge, but they want us to guarentee 20 users from the smaller block and 40 users from the larger block. NO CAN DO. They ( the installers ) can't seem to get it through thier heads that all our owners are not here together and it is almost impossible to contact the lot of them, especially in a short time...........................................and we have owners here with soap withdrawall !!!!!

ALL WE WANT IS A DISH POINTING TOWARDS THE ASTRA 2 SATALLITE and A REASONABLE CONNECTION PRICE FOR EACH OWNER....................................is there anybody out there ????   PRETTY PLEASE.

Till then, I guess it's back to the b****y DVD's and I am sick of the sound of the theme music to New Tricks !!!!!
