I have a 1.2M dish and a sat box at my house in the Canary Islands, it was supplied by a local, 7 years ago and gets sky no problem. The problem is that they supplied the card and keep ripping me off for a 150 pounds at a time, Everytime i turn up at the house the sky is off, this forces me to call them, pay 150 and then my sky comes back on, i simply can not afford this and want to be in control of my TV.
I want to ask you the following,
1) Can i get a card in the uk and pare it to the box when i am in spain or does it have to be pared in the uk first ? or
2) I have a spare Tomson sky box at home in the uk, should i pare a card to this box and take them with me ?
3) I would like freesat if possible ? i have a huminax freesat box in the uk, can i take this with me and will it work ? will i get the BBC and ITV chanels ?
