Hi, I'm new!!

Hi Paco,

Following Tammy's useful email, could you please let me know, once the home installations begin, are you able to provide the digibox that can later be used for SKY TV?  Also, for those like me who work full-time and find it difficult coming to Spain at short notice, is there any need once our fees have been paid, to be present for the installation?

Hi

It's Jeannie here - 'creeping out of the woodwork'.

As I mentioned in a previous posting - Cabletec can supply - for around € 225 Euros - a free view box, which will receive all BBC, ITV, some childrens, some music & some movie channels.

If you want an original sky box - which you could later upgrade to full subscription in the future - it  will be more money - might be worth you sourcing in the UK.

It will be necessary for someone to be present in your apartment for the connection to be done.

If this is a problem for you - let me know - I know someone who can help with this.

Kind Regards

Jeannie

Hello from anneF

The Cabletec - for around € 225 Euros with a free view box, which will receive all BBC, ITV, some childrens, some music & some movie channels sounds fine. How do We get that organised to be installed as soomn as the connection is in for our apartment. I am not very tecnically minded and really need everything explained to me in simple steps!. Do we order that  from some place in Spain?

Please help!

Hi Anne etc ,

If any of you pay €225 for the digibox Cabletec in Spain provide , then you will be paying well over double the price.

Spain is VERY EXPENSIVE for Sky equipment  as Sky UK does not support Sky TV in Spain.

The model Cabletec Spain provide for €299 on their website  is the OLD Sky Box , model DS430N.

The latest model that Sky provide for new installations is the DS440N which can be sourced and shipped directly to Spain from as little as £119 if you choose to have the latest version.

The DS430N digibox is now obsolete but saying that  , it  will function perfectly well in Spain but  it defo can be sourced cheaper than €225 , approx for €99 or less inc remote , power cord and scart lead.

Any SKY digibox , which the DS430N is one of  , can pick up free to view transmissions once connected to the Sky satellite dish.

The BBC (every region in the UK) , ITV and CBeebies all went free to view prior 2005 ,

IE : anyone with a Sky digibox without a card can get these channels.

If you want Channel 4 , Film 4 / +1 and Channel 5 in Spain , then you will have to purchase a FREE TO VIEW card. These cost £21 from Sky direct but you must have a UK address to activate them.

Alternatively there are websites which can provide cards already ACTIVATED if you cannot get them directly from the UK.

Please contace me directly if you need any further info !
