    Default Box in Spain?

    A friend has a house in Spain and asking me to come out and set his dish and box up. Is it posaible to align Sky Uk out there and use a skybox?

    Haven't the footprints been tightened up recently, requiring larger dishes, or even getting no signal at all?

    It also depends in which part of Spain your friend lives.

    You will need a 2 metre dish out there.

    This may give you a rough idea of reception reports and what size dish is needed as Spain is a Big country

    my mates had one out there for a while and he's telling me all the ex-pats are complaining they've lost all the FTA channels as well as the s*y channels.

    I had my uk sky registered to a UK address then had the box out at my house in kaiserslautern, it worked just fine on a standard size dish. Only returned to the UK in Feb of this year.
