Fitting Uk Sky Boxes In Spain
Does anyone know if the satelite guys out in Spain will fit our own SKY+ box with them just supplying the dish, LNB's (we know we will need 3 for the SKY+ and one other digibox in another room) plus doing the wiring up without us buying a dish from them?
I have read on another forum that they want you to purchase a box from them. We are just thinking about buying the new SKY+ box with 80 hours of recording time to take with us as I don't know if they are available out there or not.

I think I am right in saying however that the new Sky+ with 80 hours of recording is not suitable for Southern Spain. However the old Sky+ with only 20 hours of recording works fine in Spain. If you want more recording space just fit a larger hard drive. Just look on ebay there are lots of Sky+ boxes and drives on there.Much cheaper then buying one here!
Hope the above is usefull.

I don't know where your property is, Gill, but I recommend you go to this website
http://digiboxes.billnot.com/
and contact its owner, Bill Hayles, who is the most knowledgeable person I know on the subject of satellite TV, and he will, I'm pretty sure, be prepared to advise you.
In my experience his advice is unbiased and not influenced by the fact that he sells digiboxes himself
