HI,

Can anyone recommend a legal service provider here that broadcasts a quality live signal (sports especially) akin to Sky or Virgin in the UK please rather than the myriad of poor quality set-top boxes readily available please?

Thanks in advance.

Tony.

There aren’t any legal providers of UK TV in Spain as the feeds would have been stolen at some point, bundled and sold on.

If you have a dish, use a Humax box with a twin feed and you can watch and record UK Freesat.

You would need a number of different service providers to achieve the highest quality option to access the majority of sporting content. Highest quality content, is still satellite.

1. Sky Sports, with Sky Q box, 4K & subscription for UK Sky sports / 4K
2. Canal+ with subscription (Spanish audio & prefence for sports coverage)
3. Full UK premier league coverage beINsports, needs 1 metre dish, bein 4K box & card

Ultimately, if you want the best - it is available, if you have the budget. You can argue if options 1 & 3 are legal in Spain - it's a bit of a grey area international transmission law - however they are the official services, with subscriptions paid to the official providers.

Part of the other problem is there is no 'one' service provider that covers every sporting event - so to try to cover this on satellite only would require multiple system, satellite dishes and subscriptions - making it very, very expensive - this is out of the reach of many & why IPTV services exist. The problem with IPTV, is the variation of quality of services & providers - as it's not standardised like satellite.

Remember IPTV content is stolen from somewhere. You might find it dressed up as some wonderful package but, and it’s likely not be your vendor, somewhere back down the line a criminal lurks.

If your desire is for legal Sports content then, I’m afraid, you won’t find it in Spain

Interesting thread. If these ARE 'stolen' feeds, then why are folk allowed to advertise IPTV services on the forums?

Hi, for sports you may want to try DAZN sports in Spain, a perfectly legal IPTV service that costs around 10€per month. They show UK football, Premier league and FA cup, check their website https://watch.dazn.com/es-ES/sports/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqcyno-Dt4wIVCkPTCh1h5AOgEAAYASAAEgJm9PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
