Hi there.  Had ours installed a year ago.  Because you now need the larger satellite dish, expect this to cost Approx €750 fitted and working.  Ours was €800 as we wanted the dish high up on the wall.  We were told it was more expensive because 2 people had to be there, with 1 holding the ladder !!!  When you think about it, probably true.  Then the Freesat receiver.  Make sure you buy a twin receiver to enable recording 2 channels at once if watching another recording, or taping 1 channel live whilst taping another.  Can’t get catch-up with this unless you spend more money.     Humax have the best Freesat equipment - Humax.co.uk have their own website and offer sell reconditioned ones for €149 or thereabouts.  They will not deliver to Spain, but yiu can buy from eBay, curry’s and others including Amazon who also deliver in Spain.  Just as good as a new one in my opinion.  It is guaranteed anyway.  You could also treat yourself to an Amazon Fire Stick if you have good WiFi.  Although you cannot record of this, you have back-up when satellite signal is poor.  Plus loads of TV series, films etc. Some all free including all British TV.  Installers - 1.  Glen on 649 243 018.  He fitted ours.  2.  Colin at Cool Solutions - Contact on google.  Hope this helps
