We live on the coast 70K East of Malaga and use a 1.3 metre dish which is the very minimum for this area,friends have tried a 1.2 metre and they cannot receive C4/5,even with a 1.3 dish we lose it occasionally during low cloud or stormy weather

Same happening near Malaga,Costa del Sol,the box locks when trying to access C4 day or evening time,box locks,red light is on,the only way to free it is disconnect the power for a couple of minutes then reconnect Paul

Hi, Many thanks for the reply,will take a look now, PG

Hi, Is it possible to receive SKY TV and BBC,ITV,C4,C5 in the south west of Turkey? If so,what equipment would be needed,preferably I would just like the viewing card without Sky? PG

We will know soon,my friend in the UK ordered 3 cards by phone rather than the website,these will be replacement cards and be sent to me to test in his boxes,but he also ordered a spare card in case of loss of one,so this will be a spare card without a box. He wants it authorizing and kept as a...

My Series 1 card was shut off as soon as I applied online,the series 2 card arrived at a UK address within 4 days,was sent out to me in Spain and arrived yesterday,just 2 days later. It works OK,I tried it in 2 different boxes and it's OK in those,required no activation at all. I told a friend...

Hi, I had a similar problem,contacted an engineer,he mailed me this-: To clear your PP remove the V/Card Power down Power up Select TV Guide and All Channels until it shows 181-Travel Channel Replace the card Wait for the searching for listings banner to go Then it's clear! Seemed to work for...

Hi, We are in Southern Spain(70k East of Malaga) and receive all BBC channels,ITV,C4,C5 with no problem using a 1.2 metre dish both on the older type viewing card and the new dark blue card. The banner warning about loss of channels hasn't been seen for 2 weeks,and on the dark blue card it was...

Hi, Do you have any idea what price Sky will be wanting for the new proposed package,no doubt more than the value Pack at £12.50/month?? PAUL

Hi, We receive the message on a regular basis saying the channels will soon be discontinued,so I had a friend in the UK call Sky and ask about the discount of 50% on the Value Package. The operator at Sky said she had never heard of such an offer,called another department,they said exactly the...

Hi, The estimated 70.000 people that watch Sky or BBC was the result of a survey done by the 'Costa Del Sol News',a local weekly paper serving the coast that costs about 75c,but that was some time ago,probably the figure is higher by now. We live in Nerja,a coastal town with a population of...

Hi, Is this definite that we will lose ITV,C4,C5 or is it a ploy by Sky to 'encourage' everyone to subscribe to their minimum package of £12.50? We live on the south coast of Spain,where it is estimated that there are 70.000+ satellite systems,if say 50% of these suddenly start applying for...

If I ordered a card before then would I still keep the service we have now?

Hi Rolfw, I have the older viewing card version,.e.,the one WITHOUT the house on the card.Is it still possible to have my sisiter call the BBC and have them send out a newer version then have it activated by Sky? PAUL

Hi, Many thanks for the reply,I'm sure that is correct that my card is the older version,but I read another reply stating that the newer cards are not being sent out after the end of June 03,if we have the card that will be switched off,is there a solution to the problem? PAUL
