Hi, when you say you have a huge satellite dish what size is it? You need a 1.9mtr dish to receive reliable satellite reception from Astra 28.2°E. You can receive a handful of Uk channels off of Intelsat 907 at 27.5°W which is a backup system for freeview in the UK. You will need a different receiver for that as the signal is scrambled using Biss system.

Hi, we use both an android box and a 4K firestick. We run smartdnsproxy on our router, costs $25 for 2 years and allows us access to all programs, films, box sets, catch up tv with very little buffering. Have had this system for over 3 years and very happy with it.

Hi.  If you want to watch UK TV and have a fire stick, you need to download some apps on it such as Livenet TV.  If you want catchup then I can recommend TV mucho although that is about 45 euros a year off the top of my head.  You can catch up for the previous 7 days.  It has ...

...most of the channels you probably need. Obviously works through the internet and if you have a decent signal you should have no problem.  Have a chat with people around to see if they can help you download it. I am sure there must be people who will do this for you as there are quite a few around the Arboleas and Albox area.  I suppose with the lockdown there may be somebody who can talk you through the procedure on messenger or WhatsApp.  Good luck

Hi,

Depending on which generation firestick you have you may not be able to load a vpn.We have livenet tv with buffering on our 2nd gen.

Smartdnsproxy isn't a vpn, you get one with your subscription but have never used it yet as we don't download. Also, with this in place, you watch TV via the normal ITV hub, BBC I player, etc so you are not going through a 3rd party server.

Do you know someone in or near Velez who can install our 1.4 satellite dish?  Just moving from ontinyente, valencia where it works perfectly with our Freesat box.

Afraid a 1.4 dish isn't big enough this far south to receive a decent signal.
