So does that mean it won't work, or it will work but you shouldn't do it?:

Hi all!
My experience in Spain may cast some light on this.
I have a number of friends now resident in Spain ( and Portugal and France) who have "exported" their Sky boxes, and after having a suitable dish erected by the local artisans quite happily watch TV just as if they were in the UK. Sometimes they require the larger diameter dishes than they would in the UK.
HOWEVER... they all maintain a UK residential address as if the equipment was located there, and do not tell SKY what they have done. I understand that SKY know this happens and are not too happy about it, but so far they have not gone around the Iberian countries ripping dishes off the wall. It's dead easy to see who is doing this near, say Malaga .. just look for the large dishes facing in a different direction from those on the homes of the indigenous population!
I see no reason at all why this should not work in Calis
regards,
farmer

I wonder if this would allow us to use the small digital box now widely available here for around £70???

We have just got set up for satellite TV. The satellite man came and installed a second hand dish that I found in the loft "Star something" receiver box and cabling, all for a one off payment of 300 mtl (£111) The system receives programmes from the Hotbird Satellite. There is no subscription to pay at all.
Below is a list of most of the english channels. No movies but more than enough for people on holiday.
