Hola Welcome to

Spanish Channels

For anyone from Spain living in the Uk, here is a satellite service for you. All your favourite tv programmes delivered via satellite. Our service is called Satellite Tv Europe our website is  www.satellitetveurope.co.uk We install dishes and digital receivers compatible with all the main Spanish broadcasting services.

There is a large choice of Spanish channels broadcast FTA ( free to air ) the main ones are listed on our Spanish page

We can install from our base in South Yorkshire , as far south as Leicester and Birmingham and to York in the north. We cover SEE MAP all over Yorkshire, Humberside, Derbyshire Lincolnshire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire and the Midlands including surrounding towns. ( If you live further afield just send an  email for a quotation)

Satellite TV from Spain is mainly from two satellites – Astra 1 situated at 19 degrees East , and Hispasat which is at 30 degrees West. This means you have plenty of choice of channels and where installation is blocked or difficult there is always an alternative angle for the dish. Reception requires a standard 80cm dish.
Question I already have Sky, can I also have Spanish TV?

Answer. For those wanting both Sky and foreign broadcasts you can if you wish combine them to avoid having 2 separate dishes. Using the multi3 dish shown above, Sky and the Spanish broadcasts can be received at the same time, maybe in different rooms or fed to a recorder for viewing later.

Note this is only for the Astra 1 spanish channels and Uk channels – Hispasat is too far west to combine the signals on one dish. For Hispasat and Uk channels you will need 2 dishes but at least the Uk dish will only be a small one.

If you have need for other language broadcasts then a motorised satellite dish is the answer, the ultimate in sheer numbers of channels receivable, a motor system can log in some 5000 channels when installed, of which over half are viewable free ( FTA free to air ) and the others require various subscription cards to view.

To checkout the prices and to order go to the Spanish Channels page and click the SPAIN 1, SPAIN 2, MULTI3 OR MOTOR buttons

Students of language , Colleges and schools can make use of these services too , we install multi room setups in a number of different formats to suit all needs.

Receivers – our main receiver is the popular Manhattan XTcM which has proved itself very capable in fixed dish and motorised dish installations, the remote can be operated in two modes FAVourites or SATellite mode. In favourite mode, a user may save a list of favourite channels under his own name eg. Andys Fav. other users may have their own lists. In Satellite mode, the user simply selects the satellite with left/right keys , and channel with the Up /down keys. The receiver will take most major  subscriptions cards without an additional CAM unit.

Our installer Andrew, always spends some time after installation to make sure the customer is familiar enough with the equipment to navigate to the desired channel and can operate it with any existing equipment like a Sky box, Tv, video or disc recorders and Hi Fi.

We now have both the Meo and Tv Cabo Portuguese packages ready for installation.  Email me for prices of complete installation ( don’t forget to include your location – preferably your map coordinates from Google maps see  COORDINATES )

Although the satellite Hispasat carries channels for South America most are inaccessible to us in Europe, due to the direction of the ‘Americas’ beam used. This channel ‘Tv Chile’ is beamed from another satellite at Norway!!

The channel is receivable here in the Uk and can be combined with the other Spanish channels from Astra on a single dish

Chile tv here in the Uk

see Chile Page of main site

Having met some amazing couples on my travels installing satellites, I am aware that  not everyone wants just Spanish channels. I have been asked for Greek and Spainish, French and Spanish, German and Spanish, Dutch and Spanish….. and the list grows every day.

If you would like a quote for satellite tv from 2 countries, I am always happy to come up with new solutions.

Dont forget too, that Uk channels can be combined with Spanish on a  single dish, you dont have to have 2 dishes ( ** except Hispasat , if you want Valencia tv **)

It has at last been announced that TVE will cease its broadcasts from Astra1 satellite from 30th June 2010.

To continue watching TVEi it will be necessary to add an extra LNB to your dish and a switch to select between the 2 satellites, the receiver will need reprogramming to operate the switch correctly.

Since TVE first announced their policy to only broadcast from Hotbird, we have been offering new Spanish satellite customers our ‘Spain2′ system. If your system was installed before this, or you would like to modify your dish and receiver please email me ( info@satellitetveurope ) for a quote.

I am often asked what could be at fault, my pictures sometimes freeze up or break up, can I repair it myself?

Well, if you have some replacement equipment, it is just a case of elimination. The greatest tool a professional would have is a meter, to monitor the dish signal. But without one, there are a number of  simple checks you can do, and it may save you  replacing expensive equipment.

The faults that occur include

Aragon, Adalucia, tv Madrid and tv Catalunya are all in the latest frequency changes from the spanish broadcasters. ( they just cant make up their minds)

Andalucia is now renamed in your sat list as canal sur, but the on screen logo is still the familiar Sun – Adalucia

moved from 11686 to 11597V

All changes are shown on the web page on the main site

Especially for those of you who have asked for more Spanish and Portugese channels from South America, the Globo network main international channel is now available from Brazil. Email for details of how to subscribe

Though not primarily for satellite viewers in Spain, I have received so many questions and requests about Uk tv in Spain that I am collecting installer contacts who may be able to help you.

If you are an installer in Spain please email me and I may be able to pass on work to you

Several of our readers have asked, what else can I see when I purchase a satellite system to receive Spain?

Several other European countries can be received, using the same satellite gear. Spain can be combined on a single dish with several others, the easiest to tune in would be Germany, France or a few channels from Poland. So a Spanish setup on 19 degrees , could also receive these 3 countries.

With the addition of an extra LNB adaptor and Diseqc switch, many more channels become available, Italy for example broadcasts over 350 channels free, with football being shown occasionally too! On the same satellite there are many more Polish, Arab and Middle Eastern channels without encryption.

To see what is available in addition to your Spanish channels , have a look at my Spain 2 Package on the main site

Good news for satellite enthusiasts, wanting spanish Digital plus services….

Since the last generation of cards, the fact that the Digital plus card was matched with the receiving equipment, so like Sky Uk it has meant that you cannot use the card in a different receiver.

NO MORE….

You can now buy a matching D+ card and CAM , to fit into your existing (providing its a CI type ) receiver. So when you elect to go for D+ you dont have to put up with an inferior box without all the fancy features you paid for when buying your top notch multisatellite receiver. Email me (info@satellitetveurope.co.uk) for details of the supplier

Just another little gripe from all you Sky subscribers, TVE international can now be tuned in but its not appearing on the EPG, only on ‘other channels’ so Sky+ users cannot use their built in record function to make recordings, instead they are having to dig out the video from the cupboard and connect it back up.

First its on then its off then back on again, c’mon sky get your act together, all these people have paid for TVEi….

Anyone with a Manhattan receiver on Astra 1  unable to get TVE international, there is now an update for the receiver software to overcome this problem. It has been noticed on the latest batches of the new receivers ( black case) . Check yours out, if you have difficulty downloading TVE , yet you are getting all the other channels on transponder 24 ( frequency 11568 vert ), contact me for the s/w update

SKY channel 975 TVE international stopped broadcasting last week, good old reliable Sky…… NOT. Well the solution is easy. We supply and fit full satellite systems which not only get TVE FREE but also many other FREE Spanish channels

channels from Hispasat and Astra Satellites

This fantastic line up is all Free from the Hispasat and Astra  satellites NOW

Ring 07756 482 669 or go to www.satellitetveurope.co.uk/allspain.html to order

I’ve been asked if there are any channels specifically for children , from the spanish broadcasters. Amongst the paid channels , there are all the usual cartoon network etc but in the free channels there are programmes for children but not channels exclusively. Unfortunately the spanish “Digital plus” network requires both the card AND the set top box to work, the 12 month packages on the net are well over £1000!

My thanks to Rosario for raising this, I am looking into HD receivers for most of the European countries, as yet there really arent enough channels on HD ( much like our own FreeSat ) to make it good value for money.

The picture quality is great and the improvement over SD (standard definition) especially on a very large LCD or Plasma tv is outstanding.

At the moment there are no free channels in HD from Spain, only the Digital+ & Canal + spain,  ones which are encrypted in various formats – NagraVision 3 and videoguard – and which require a dedicated receiver ( again like our Uk sky) where the viewing card is matched with the receiver by the broadcaster.

Some cards may be available with set top boxes but usually at extortionate rates in this country. To go through official channels to obtain one you must have a spanish address.

I’ve been asked several times if the quality of the pictures received by our systems is good.

Very Easy, its absolutely excellent, as good as our BBC  and ITV pictures and sound here in the Uk, Tv Canaria and TVE which I check from time to time give very good reception all the time, despite the signal having travelled out to space and back there are no more picture break ups than our Uk terrestrial tv
