Hi all well i have sold my house at last, and am looking forward to coming over there very soon. I miss that warm spanish sun on my back, now how do i go about getting sorted for the football,golf,superbikes,and gp? i will miss this without sky? any help would be grateful do i leave sky card on? or buy it over there?
hi there you have to leave your sky card on and continuing paying your subscription as if you were in the uk. I have the digital tv out here though and have sports channels, hubby and son still manage to watch all the footy channels and we even get setanta when big games are on, think it costs about 18e per month
Thanks for that but i pay ?32 over here at the mo? thats for the sports channels. Do i still let them take it out UK account? or do i sort out when i move over kind regards
I have just has sat TV fitted by a Company called eurosat, I found them very good, very helpful and understanding when we found that the roof access door had been locked and the locks changed so the could not get onto the roof to put up the dish (sorted now), we paid 480 installation and 9 euro per month for 10 channels.
have found that what sky sports have so dose D+ aswell so is worth the big dish ? , nt ring sky from spain as thay know you ring from spain and you account will be closed ... as sky dont have the the brodcasting rights for this area . Setanta yes i pay for that and is good
channels in spain for sport
Canal+ F?tbol
Canal+ Deportes
Canal+ Eventos
Eurosport
Canal+ F?tbol
Canal+ Deportes
Canal+ Eventos
Golf+
Sportman?a
Teledeporte
Real Madrid TV
Bar?a TV
PPV - Taquilla F?tbol Sat/Sun live football from LA LIGA
and if you dont have the room for a dish then head to you local bar and you get all the sports you need ( english football head to Irish are uk pubs )
You’ll be amazed how your lifestyle changes out here, and how little time you spend indoors…. so why not save the money and use a local bar - means you’ll meet more people as well.
You’ll often find that if so desired, you can actually watch more live English Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup football on Spanish digital television, than you can on English television. For example, I watched the Man Utd v Tottenham game live on TVE1 on standard digital tv here, live 3pm (4pm here) kick-off, which was’nt actually screened live back in the UK.
I just have a bog standard set-top box, just like you can get back in the UK. There are currently about three free sports channels and they all cover the majority of major sports and sporting events. Best of all, it’s free. You can also get Canal+ but you need to subscribe.
I have the free-to-view Spanish digital TV, along with the bog-standard free-to-view Sky channels in my house. Anything else sports, I go to the local bar. Problem is, given the locals are a mix of Real Madrid or Bar?a fans, I’m “forced” to stay in the bar on a Sunday and watch as a neutral! 😉 (Although I do lean towards Bar?a, unless they are playing Man Utd!!)
so you will pissed off with last sunday game with Barcelona - Villarreal 0-1 , i know i was two but, who are this Man Utd ? dont go out my way for uk football any more
TDT box can got from 39.95 Euros in most tv shops = free veiw box in the uk
As for the Bar?a result, wasn’t too upset - Villareal are doing really well this year, but if I was a betting man, I wouldn’t mind seeing the odds on Jose Mourinho at the helm at Bar?a next season.
Answer to your question, as any self respecting football fan will know, they that set of moaning folks from anywhere apart from Manchester who just complain when things dont go their way.

And if all else fails you can come to the bike meetings with us! .
You can do that, bu then you have to have an address in UK, plus it is a requirement of Sky that you have the box connected to the phone line so they can check the system plus upgrade as required. That option I looked at, but found it was easier to get it fitted and operated by a local Company. As I am on the Costa Blanca South, I used a Company called Eurosat, who do a reasonable price for installation, plus a very good price for the monthly rental.

Where are you looking to live?

Hi Dave
We are in Spain and have been here for almost 6 years, what I meant was you could just go to the race meetings instead of watching tmen on the TV, we normally do Jerez, Valencia and Estoril and have just been (couple of weeks ago) to the BSB practice at Tavernas near Almeria

Heh 😉 I’ll be part of a rare breed then, actually from Manchester.
It’s funny really, when I had my season ticket I sat in the North Stand next to a chap, also from Manchester 😛 ), but we used to chuckle about comments like this. Mind you, in front of us was a row of blokes from Dublin, behind us a row of blokes from Norway and either side of us, some Dutch and Finnish. We felt quite lucky that the journey to see our beloved “Red Devils” was a local one. These guys all had to get on a plane, but were there every game without fail. That’s commitment.
As for moaning, that’s the divine right of every football fan. 😊
Well you are a rear package. But as I said, those in Red do moan alot, afterall, just look at fergie and Queresod, or what ever his name is, they have been written to by the FA for moaning about the ref after the game against Portsmouth, I can understan being upset, but you can not win all the time, so they should just acceot it, it is just like Wenger not seeing anything.
