As Gary said-unless you have huge dish in Spain it's not good.
Some sites do ,however, have TV sockets on pitch-but the choice of channels can be limited.
Check on campsites web site-it's usually the ones that have a lot of 'longstay' visitors.
Villasol in Benidorm is one and Marjal eco site is another Others will know many more.

Mike not true we live 19km from Majal site and only yesterday whilst at my MH doing some maintenance moved MH outside garage and put sat dish ( 80cm ) up and locked onto BBC1,2 ITV sky 1 sky sports etc, granted not 5USA or channel 5 but 95%.
I stand corrected Frankly I was going on what I've been told-I don't even bother trying with my Kathrein system in Spain.

Mike, the problem is not your system, but those who use a stand on the ground system. They have problems finding the Sky UK sat on 28.2E and then say cannot be done on a 80cm dish. Firstly your auto system will lock into the sat in seconds, however depending on line of site, weather and were you are in Spain depends on what you will decode. I live near Alicante and get 95% channels, however if we go up to Barcelona then it's 75% and down towards Portugal 85% sometimes 95%. The receiver I use is called a VU Solo2 ( google it ) price is high, but the tuners is the best on the market right now. This allows me to receive ALL SKy UK regions including Ireland so I get Setanta Sports when available.
If you don't try it you will never know.

Then I will never know
Thx for the info but,I would never subscribe to Sky as we would only use about 5% of what we pay for and TV is not an important part of our lives.
I think that 'high' is an understatement with regard to cost of tuner- ÂŁ374.99 at Amazon leaves me searching for an adjective that I can use on a familly forum
Mike.
Mike, there are loads tuners on the market at 1/4 of that price, however like a good MH you buy the best you can afford. As for subscribing to Sky UK I don't and never have as waste of money , however cannot go into the details of how I decode the scrambled channels on this forum. If you want the details on how best PM me.
Thx John-I'll have to take raincheck on that as you seem to be not accepting PM's-I'm away until Mon eve after tonight.

Hi Don Quixote
I to live in Spain, tried to PM you but it said, you don't want to receive PMs.
Perhaps you would PM me.
Cheers

Hi
There are some changes taking place to the "satellite beams" in September/October this year. BBC, ITV and C4 will be "moving" onto a new beam, much more tightly focused on the UK. Channel 5 has already been moved, so if you can get Channel 5 where you are now, you should be able to get the other channels too.
If I did not have a satellite system, I would wait for more detailed reception reports after the changes have taken place.
For more details, have a read of www.satandpcguy.com
