Uk TV's Take or Leave?
Apologies if this has been covered before (Which I'm sure it has) But I've searched the threads and can't find any info. Do Uk spec Tv's work on the CDS? I have seen threads where people have been advised to take their sky boxes with them if they wish to watch Sky programs, So i'm assuming that a uk TV would work in this situation - Right or wrong/
But would the TV also work if connected to say an existing Spanish satalite system?
Reason for asking is that we have a couple of good TV's here in the Uk and would like to take them as they wouldn't fetch much here in the UK.

I am not an expert on this subject but a friend of mine has just moved to Spain and taken quite an old tv and has got it working linked up to satellite etc so would advise you to take your 2 TVs. He was told that it would not work but this has not proved to be the case. Good luck with yours.

Our Uk tv in our Uk house works ok connected to the Spanish and all other satellite packages.
Except for some French channels transmitting in secam rather than the normal pal.

It will not work on Spanish terrestrial TV through Rf as Spanish broadcasters use different sound frequency in the modulation,
Basically it will work on any system that you can connect to using scart lead

If you really do want Spanish TV then buy a TDT box for less than 50€ which will give you digital Spanish TV connected through the Scart socket.
