Still no TV broadcast from telmicro levante

Their web site no longer shows anything and their telephone is on answer phone.

Looks like the satellite TV installing guys are suddenly going to have a massive influx of work

according to other forums, TM were visited today by the Guardia, with a few arrests and equipment shut down. it does not look good for those with TM, especially those that have just signed and paid for a years subs up front!!! and i would be worried if i was with any other company that uses rebroadcasting....

at least you know that with a dish you can watch bbc, itv c4 and other free tv channels direct from the satellite and with no subscritpion legally!! yes satellite signals that are free like bbc and itv are totally legal to watch!!!!! you cannot go to jail for watching free tv via satellite!!

Looks like all the unemployed builders will now become satellite engineers

We heard the same rumour about Guardia civil shutting down telmicro today.

I bet you wish they had lasted until at least the end of September so it wernt so hot doing the work.

A little tip for anyone calling out engineers to do the installs. Remember it is bloody hot and giving the guys a drink of water or tea etc wont hurt you and trust me, they will appreciate it more than you could imagine

go for an installer you have known about, or has a good website, and can actually do the job...all goes without saying but i have been out to see some right cockup installations from so called profrssionals!!

we certainly do!!!

You can see the next price inflation on the cards and no saying it will be satellite gear.

Is there a rule of thumb on prices and what units stand out from the others in your honest opinion.

Oh yea, give yourself a plug on what area you cover

I'm so glad I never binned my DVD collection when I moved over. Band of brothers boxed set here I come

If you cant find a book or methods of watching UK TV, remembers the forum members games arcade
http://www.thespainforum.com/arcade.html

I cant believe the BBC stop people watching their catch up services with non UK ip addresses. They forget we used to pay their wages

If it's not a typo then I'm glad I'm not too bothered about watching the telly....

Going by the rumours circulating on the internet, there has been everything from non payment of taxes through to mafia black money involved.

Lets start one about Elvis and JFK being at their office when they were raided. Sid you can not start rumours blaming Muslims for this one
Not even them posting their tax returns in a moving post box that went durka durka

not quite. sky, or rather skys part owners new corp, were one of several companies interested in buying into CD, but CD's current owners were in no rush to sell - could one of the conditions of sale be that CD stop rebroadcsating services -

if Sky / news corp do but cd, it will not mean you get sky sports on CD systems. it will more likely mean a rebrand of the CD chnnels from Canal Deportes to somehting like Sky Espania Deportes. Most of the channels on Sky UK are already on CD+ anyway, discovery, nat geo, mtv, and the movies on sky UK are on cd+ movie service also.....

see sky italia in italy - they have Sky Sports Italia....but down show the darts, or super league for example...

Mate, I have a series of 96 video lectures on Astronomy - really good ones - thats 48 whole hours of stuff much better than Eastbenders, the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation, Celebrity Bootsale on Ice or 22 overpaid fairies kicking a bag of wind around.
Sadly they are back in the UK, but I'll copy them onto DVD and post them when I go back in September.
