Remember that as your card is Irish you'll have the 4 Irish channels on 101-104. The Irish channels are on Astra 2D and on a Horizontal polarity, which are notoriously tricky to get in different parts of Spain. Try to check out how people in Torrevieja are getting on with BBC2 as the different...

Can't compare directly with Panasonic 30 but certainly Pace 2600 is better than Sky + It holds the signal that bit more with a 1.8 Prodelin, Invacom 0.3LNB in Madrid.

With the massive storm we have on Sunday night, nearly 4,000 lightening strikes, all 2D Horizontal channels gone from about 11 am onwards. 2D vertical channels still OK

Got someone at home to do it. Parents house is 8, my contract at 8A!!!! but the contact number is obviously the same. They rang and said that they weren't at home but could the card be activated anyway. Call centre person went to supervisor after initially saying no and everything set up in 10...

Currently working with a Sky + box and an Invacom 0.3 quad C120 LNB. The reception seemed to be a bit better with the Pace 2600 box and Sharp LNB. 2D Horizontal channels tend to disappear at midday though can often see the subtitles but not the actual picture. 2D Horizontal channels come...

Yes I got a + box from Simply Digital and everything is working fine here in Madrid

Are you in a block of flats? According to Spanish law you are entitled to put the dish on the roof and no-one but no-one can stop you. http://www.setsi.mcyt.es/legisla/infra_comunes/rdl1_98.htm see Article 9.2.2

Andrew, I'm in Plaza Castilla. The best box at the moment is the Pace 2600. Works better than the Grundig and the Panasonics.

RTE etc is on Astra 2D Horizontal so if people in your area can get Hallmark, ITV Wales, London, BBC2, CBBC you should be OK

Dont have Sky+ yet but I ordered Prem+ over the Xmas holidays. Got family in Ireland to ring. No problems and no questions. Why not get the half price offer? It worked out at 35 Euro for me and each game they charge 8.50 for Irish customers. They will probably announce more games as well before...

Well that's good cause even though the contract says it needs to be connected to the phone all the time (they don't seem to enforce that part) I did think that with the initial activation they did check the connection.

Was it just with a simple call to Sky or did you use any other method?

Did you get the card activated there or in Britain?

OMT, an automode transducer to switch between hi and low band. and using two lnbs Can anyone fill in on exactly what this involves as quite a few people have problems with one set of transponders or another. i.e. Scandanavia Horizontal seemingly stronger, Madrid vertical whereas Med. coast...
