Hi does anyone know if the new "TVFIX" gadget from Dragons den will work in Spain to receive English Channels?

I think this gadget is just an aerial and will only pick up transmitted signals. If you were to use this in Spain I guess you will only get Spanish terrestrial signals. UK TV is very difficult to get in some areas of Spain, and the internet seems the best way forward. You'll need an IPTV box and to be legal, you will need to subscribe to a provider.

Unfortunately, it's another area where Brits seem to be penalised! I pay for a full UK TV licence but still cannot get live UK TV in Spain!

It is an aerial only and will pick up TV from a maximum 40kms from the point of broadcast. It is not a decoder, so encoded pay to view channels cannot be accessed. Since the UK is a bit more than 40kms from any part of Spain, it is not a solution for UK TV !
