Sky TV on mainland Spain..

Is it possible to use standard Sky Ditital equipment and refix it to your spanish home?
Would you require a larger dish?
Thanks in advance,
Supes.

possibly slightly bigger dish, and just leave phone unattached. if you ever have to phone sky, make sure you block 'own number sending' and don't let them know you're not in the uk or they'll cut you off straight away

Do Sky till send you rude letters when the box doesn't phone home for a while?

Girlfriends brother and sis in law have just emigrated to Gibralter. Took their Sky dish & box. When they got there they called out a satellite bloke, who came out, did his shit with the compass, 2 hours later Sky working as it had done back in the UK.

Same dish.

That's just the answer I was looking for, cheers greg.

Just a thought dude, not sure what the voltage is in Spain? I *think* its 220v so you should be OK, but best check.

Other than that, jobs a good 'un

Voltage no probs, cheers matey.

I don't have mine connected, but then I bought my box so don't have the normal contract, If you take out a contract one part of it states that the box must be connected to a phone line
