Yes, you can get everything, as long as you have high speed internet, then with an IPTV box, a subscription and a smart TV, you can get around 1800 different channels, everything from the UK, but most of Europe and the Americas

Search on ebay for Android TV box preferably Octacore type (8 processors) cost about 60-80£ and bring it with you.
Get a 10mb or more internet connection and you will be able to watch all uk tv, sky, bbc & itv stations, films, serials, documentaries, nature science all sports etc for free.
It is not nececassary to subcribe to watch, somtimes150€ per year or more so don't be duped into paying for something that is free.
English Android TV boxes are usually fully loaded and it means you just have to click an on screen icon.
More info and alternative tv programs are also featured on YouTube with simple instructions to add to your android box.

We are also trying to work out how we get English tv. Wimax and Wimaz do internet but not tv.
We contacted Compusurf in Camposol and they did a site survey, said there wouldn't be a problem but we needed permission from our community, who wanted to know exactly where the pole and dish were going to be placed. I've emailed Compusurf several times for this information but no reply. Think we'll have to work out another way of doing it!

Hi Gaby08, it appears you may live in a community. Have any other residents fitted the small internet dishes to their property?
If so, permission is a formality, probably just need to inform the President and or Administrator. It is very unlikely you would receive any opposition.
Sounds like a bit of ' woffle' from your internet supplier.
As soon as you get internet connected you can buy the Android TV boxes from suppliers in Spain like Mediamarkt MiElectro Tien21 etc. Usually links are on the Android screen for tv. Even the well known one called Mobdro (there are many others like TVTap ) all get sky programs and uk bbc & itv for free.
Many more feature on Youtube.
The trouble with pay iptv they will force you to buy a Mag box costing a lot lot more and charge you around 150€ a year for their tv content. Trouble is if you do not carry on the subscription the box is useless and cannot be used with any other service.
With an Android TV Box it will always work with TV for free forever.
By the way iptv companies in Spain (all uk expats) have been raided in the past by the Guardia Civil because they are illegal. Rebroadcasting tv in Spain is not legal.
However under present Spanish laws if you receive internet broadcasts yourself you are at the moment legal.
There are no guarantees that it remains so.
I personally do not want to feature on any iptv account list in case they are raided with a resulting prosecution as a subscriber.
Its happened and quite recently too covered in the Euro-weekly Newspaper and others.
Pm me if you need help in the future.
