Hi,does anyone have any idea what is happening with telemicro? Went to new office in San Luis today with query on payments and the office was empty apart from 6 Guardia Civil looking for someone called Julian.Now all channels seem to have disappeared and as usual all phone lines are engaged or out of service.

Hi we live in the North Costa Blanca just outside Benidorm, our tv went yesterday but the reception has been very poor for the last month or so. Tried every telephone number of every installer and office I can find all to no avail. If this situation has arisen due to SKY?s crackdown, why dont they explore the possibility of broadcasting here in Spain, with 274,000 registered Brits surely they are missing out on a very profitable business!!!!!
If anyone gets any further info please let me know.

general word on various forums seems telemico and customers money gone but can anyone advise on how to get tv back on with another company who hopefully won't dissappear in a few months ?? not technical at all so no chance of fitting something ourselves. second time caught out, first time local boys fitted dish, box for one off fee. programmes lasted all of 3 months and now telemicro.
i've emailed sunshine fm radio as they still advertise being part of telemicro group and still on air so surely they must be aware of whats going on but as of writting have had no reply or even voiced issue within their local news....... wonder why !!!!!!

all this comapny are getting shut down , dont waste you money on them , watching few spanish forums here for tv and radio , get a dish and you wont have any down times then

Telemicro have been shutdown and unlikely to start up again under the same name, basically the retransmission of Uk licensed programmes is illegal, including the frequencies they were using causing problems with other legal and authorised users,
In Benidorm you will need a minimum of a 1.8M dish to receive channels such as BBC1, ITV1,2,3,4, Channel 4 and channel 5 you may be able to get on a smaller dish,
you say you have a Solid dish on the roof,(It was probably a 1.3m which was ok about 5 years ago but then went off after a few monthss, which means you may have been a victim of the reduction of signal strength caused by the service providers going on to Satellite Astra2D which was designed to reduce transmissions and reception in non UK countries ( licence, broadcasting rights and the like), This happend about 4 or 5 years ago, Then everybody had to upgrade to a bigger dish IE min 1,8M., after the signal reduction in the past there was some problems with reception in some areas of the UK , so it is unlikely that further reductions in signal strentght will happen. With the Sky Cards being offered for reception of CH4 and CH5, there is a slight risk that these cards could be deactivated as auser check by sky which will require you to phone sky, if they identify you as being outside of the UK they will permanently deactivate the card, and probably the box will not be able to be used on another card as they will have the serial number when you try to reactivate it,!! Beware
For service and install in Benidorm area Ring Kate at Digital satellite on 965 854 528. There are based behind the La Marina Shopping centre at Finestrat.

Hi
I live near Villamartin and there are agents locally trying to sell us a Solaris TV package to include the Sky premium channels. Obviously the sales agents are very reassuring and tell you that they are fully licenced but, following the Telmicro debacle, I am nervous about shelling out for another white elephant - can you please advise if they are legal?
Many Thanks
Ian

Again we seen more raid on MMDS system and cable system in the Spain over last 24 hours .... The National Police have arrested 60 people in connection with an investigation against the piracy of pay-TV channels. Among those arrested include hotel managers and presidents of neighboring communities that have defrauded a total of several million euros .
It appears that ont only wrere these systems providing pay tv channels via ?web streaming?, but as a result of this investigation it was discovered that several local cable networks in Tenerife, Malaga, Cadiz, Cordoba and Granada, were ?rebroadacsting? specific channels and content to its subscribers, without the required authorizations .
we all see that some one is New TV Satellite System for English Channels .
A new TV satellite system has arrived for English channels on the satellite Intelsat 905 24.5 W. This new system allows you the get 24 channels with a 60cm dish which are: BBC 1, 2, 3, 4, ITV 1, 2, 3, 4, Channel 4, Five, Film 4, Movies 4 Men 1, 2, True Movies 1, 2, E4, More UK, Zone Horror +1, CNN Int, Sky News, BBC News, Fox Movies, Fox Series & Travel Channel. This system is encrypted in Irdeto 3 and is necessary a S2/8PSK satellite receiver to get these channels.
All this are not 1 licences by spain are the tv companys . 2 An Anglo UK Spanish comapny only people that have the rights in Spain to rebrodcast uk Channels
wich is taken near 2 years to put in place
so dont get fooled in one this companys , only loss your money .

there has been a company that has been advertising in some of the local english press pushing this sytem
it has also been pushed around many areas of south east med areas....
personally i cannot see how intelsat would allow a anyone to transmit copyrighted material without permission from the programme makers / channels on their satellite...especially when intelsat are use by many of the broadcsaters for news and other feeds....
i am sure it will be only a matter of time before legal procedings are made by intelsat for some form of "breach of tranponder agreement" and the service is terminated....
so be warned if you are thinking of buying this system....you may have tv for a short time before it is removed...and you may have lost another 600euros to a rebroadcater.....

back up on that aswell ..... think rebroadcaster tell you that all the pay-work and dont , so when the real company that do have the right to do it will end up not been trusted , pity what the fast quick buck cowboy comapny do in this day and age , i watch lot forums and no one had any think good two say about this system that out there ,
I chatted to the company that have spent lot time and money to bring Uk tv to spain and now been stopped due this cowboy companys , This company was set up on the light off tv mirco been shut down due to it shady side off thinks there work close with tv regulator for the telecommunications industry in spain , canal + and uk tv stations , so like 100 people wont be hired now due whats happen
Pity this happen ....
i see people throught lots off money on shady company to be cought out in long and short term ..... why you done listen to the people in the know , know whats happen in the sort time
why rebrodcaster have been closed in spain , 1 not pay taxes , 2 Only Canal+ legal right to broadcast in Spain , ie football movies and so on via relay systems (with cable companys like Euskaltel Cable) 3. bandwith is licences to telphone companys . i keep going on

Hi
You can ring from Spain if needed, Either use Skype or put 067 before the 0044, This hides the caller ID,
There is a cable company here in Malaga and they are not allowed to show the football if Digital plus are also broadcasting it, I think these will eventually shut down.
It is Legal to receive the FTA sky channels in Spain!
