A Freeview box will work in Spain but it will obviously only give you Spanish digital channels.

Fta channels (what are they?) well i bought this sat systems at the weekend as the freeview broke, i cant get channel 4 and 5 on it but can get everything else sky etc (including naughty channels
)It came with a dish but this is only a little one and i thought i would have to have bigger in spain.

[QUOTE=Miss Naughty]Hi,
I know some people say t.v is not everything, South of Beni and North of Javea, believe me, that has the problem.
