Hi,
On the microwave redistribution system some of the Sky subscription channels are back - of course this depends on who your supplier is, i think there are at least 2 or 3 main suppliers of these signals, and one of them is nicking sky sports from the other supplier!!
Sky channels in a Sky digibox via satellite are still available - and their reception really depends on two things - the sub you pay, and the size of your dish.
keighty : i replied to your post in the TV section, but it does really depend on where you are going - here on the costas there are many established installers already and you may find it tricky to get business as a lot of work is via recommendations. i know the north of spain is looking for sky installers, but the briexpat community is not as bog as on the costas.
