Sky UK - Spain

[ashleybanner]

Hi there,

I have a friend in southern spain (Costa Del Sol)

apparently sky moved satellites so it makes it impossible to recieve tv in southern Spain, Can anyone confirm or give advice on this?

Thanks for the hastey reply, Spoke with someone and they said it's only FTA channels that are not working and Paid channels are, Is this correct or a lie?

it wasnt a hasty reply, it was a hasty question when other questions had already been raised so no need for a third thread on the same topic

the fta channels have moved from one sat to another sat and are continuing to do so , so expect more changes as its an ongoing process

it would not surprise me if paid for channels are affected too, or may become affected soon , possibly this week

if they still get some of the channels then they should enjoy them while they last, but I would think all channels will be affected eventually

its also worth bearing in mind that the FTA channels are not sly , they are FREESAT channels , so it wasnt sly who moved satellites, it was FREESAT

All subscription channels can viewed in Southern Spain,just not the Terrestrial Channels as the sky subs channels ar on the Pan European Satellite.........

For Now they are Until testing is complete on 2E and more transponders are fired up which means more channels migrate, Autumn will see the Launch of Astra 2G which i would say this time next year $ly will have switched everything over to the UK spotbeam

can understand bbc ,itv switching sats ,as they are not getting subs ,but sly are getting subs
and would lose out on subs from boxes taken abroad ?
