I bought a freeview box from the UK but now need an ariel - can anyone recommend one!
Thanks in advance.


Need to be a little careful - between 'Freeview' and 'Freesat'.

Freeview is terrestrial TV - IE not satellite and received via a terrestrial external (ideally) 3 prong type antenna. If using a Freeview receiver in Spain, with an antenna, you will be receving Spanish TV, there is no UK terrestrial service here.

Freesat is satellite - which here we can pick up in Spain. You can use a generic satellite receiver or (from the UK only) a Freesat receiver. You will need a satellite dish in Spain, then you can pick this up.

We are still in business, despite the recent bereavement of one of our local technicians - just getting ourselves organised with some new staff - if you need any further advice, welcome to email us [email protected]
