TV & Broadband Package for move to La Finca
Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2018 9:44 pm
I will be moving to La Finca mid-February. I am keen to find out the best supplier/package for my internet and TV.
I don’t intend to have a landline phone. I would like to receive U.K. tv channels. At home in the U.K. I am quite happy with the Freeview selection we have - I have never subscribed to Sky and am not interested in getting it in Spain.
I understand that in Spain, your location often determines who your best supplier will be. Do I need a satellite dish and if so, can it be one of those very small ones ? I believe that La Finca is wired for fibre-optic broadband, although Idon’t know if this costs more or if I need it that fast ? I have read Techie TV Paul’s guide on the forum. I think either a satellite dish provider may be my thing, or a subscription IPTV service ? If so, what are set up/installation costs ? And then ongoing monthly costs ?
Finally, I want something that is reliable, and easy to use.
Also, will I need to re-set up my Netflix membership ? I seem to think I couldn’t access Netflix on my tablet last time in Spain. So assume my IP address blocks it ? If so, and I register with them as a Spanish resident, will my Netflix content alter dramatically ? Or is it very similar to U.K. content ?
