[BITList] sky news and Apple TV

[Malcolm]

Ron & Colin,

I also got Sky TV when we lived in Calpe, Costa Blanca, Spain. All I had to
do was to have a 4ft dish aerial and then take my Sky digibox and card that
was set up in my house in UK and take it with me which house we were staying
in. Of course all the bills were paid in the UK. I am now told that Sky has
tightened up the foot print to make their reception only can be picked up in
the UK but they have failed. All the folk in Spain changed their 4ft dishes
to 6ft diameters. All the wives must have their soaps and the men their
English football.

Malcolm.

Colin. As far as I am aware, my signal is received by means of a parabolic 
antenna which is trained on to a special satellite, the signal then being 
inputed to my TV via a Didgibox thingie, which presumably, demodulates the 
incoming signal to an acceptable form for reception. Whilst OK, it can be 
weather sensitive, i.e storms etc will let it freeze the images so I switch 
off until nature gets to be friendly again!.All Free, but not for all SKY 
channels.as some need a payment to view, however free viewing or not the 
system is the same, verification as to whether you have paid or not being by

means of an activation card into the Digibox. Hopes this helps. Ron.  p.s. 
thought that you had satellites in the US!!!!
