Sky TV the same in Spain as it is in the UK?

Question

Is Sky TV in Spain exactly the same as it is in the UK? The channels and schedule and everything?

Answer 1

no its spanish and  has spanish programmes

Answer 2

you can receive sky in spain provided you take the sky box with you and get a local engineer to install a suitable size dish ( it will be a large dish and depending on where you are in spain it could be in excess of 1.5m diameter. Also if you want to receive the subscription channels you need to have your sky account active on a uk address, sky does not authorise its use abroad but they cannot stop you taking the box with you.

You can start a new contract on a uk address, make sure its a no phone line install (extra £25 charge) and once its installed just take the box to spain.

Spain also has their own equivalent of sky and digital terrestrial. On satellite they have several free channels and a subscription package called Digital+ (Movies and sports in spanish), on terrestrial they have around 30 digital channels but a few of them are payperview.
