Spanish TV in the UK
I'm sure this is a rare question but is it possible to get a Spanish TV box to watch Spanish channels in the UK in the same way you can get a UK box in Spain? I ask because when I'm back in the UK for long periods of time I miss having Spanish TV because it's a good way to not lose your language listening skills. I know some channels like Antena 3 have online viewing but it's not the same

Re: Spanish TV in the UK
Spanish satellite TV comes is available on two satellites - Astra 1 at 19 east, and Hispasat at 30 west.
Astra 1 is the main European satellite, and has decent coverage in the UK.
There are a few Spanish channels available subscription free on satellite, but none of the main channels.
You will need a Movistar+ subscription to access the channels via satellite.
Or see if you can get a TDTparasatelite box and card, for the terrestrial tv channels that you can get in Spain via a TV aerial.

If you have Kodi either on a box or tablet/laptop you can access quite a few Spanish TV Channels anywhere.
