Hi
regarding TV, it is up to the owners to sort out satellite. We used a guy called Bob (TV Bob) who fitted the dish with 4 connections from it. This can then be shared between four apartments. The price per apartment is not not bad then. Bob's daughter is living in Novo Arcos in the top floor of block 2 overlooking the pool. She speaks fluent English and Spanish which is also helpful. I think her name is Maria. Bob is well recommended.
regards
