UK Freeview TV in Spain

How can I view / watch Freeview channels in Spain?

A question I get asked many times!

You cannot receive UK Freeview in Spain.

Freeview is not the same as Freesat – a common misconception - even by some satellite installers here in Spain who do not know the difference!!! Even though the channel line up is similar on both systems.

"Freeview" is the brand name of a UK Digital TV service ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE UK.

Freeview is transmitted in the UK only by the local TV transmitters, and is only receivable via a TV aerial. There are many channels that you can receive for free on Freeview, but are only available via a subscription on satellite. These include Sky 3, Sky Sports News, Dave, Virgin1, Fiver, Five USA
