With many people and installers getting confused with terminology used for TV, hopefully this guide will help people understand what is and is not available in Spain.
It should also help people to determine what equipment they require to receive UK TV in Spain.
Many times I have been contacted by people who have read incorrect information on the internet, or given bad advice by people. Most have Freeview boxes, and were attempting to connect them to a satellite dish, or expecting UK TV when connecting them to a TV aerial in Spain – both of which is not possible, despite what they may have been told.
Channel Types:
Channels can be broken down into four categories:
Free to air – channels that are transmitted “in the clear”, with no encryption, or subscription. Examples include BBC, ITV, Channel Four.
Free to view – channels that are transmitted with encryption, so require a viewing card, but do not require a subscription.Examples include Motors TV, LFCTV.
Pay channels – channels that are transmitted with encryption, so require a viewing card, and a subscription. Examples include Sky One, Sky Atlantic, Sky Sports
Pay per view – channels that are transmitted with encryption, so require a viewing card, and one off payment. Usually boxing and WWE Wrestling

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a bill which will introduce a law banning advertising on pay-television broadcasters, a development which could have implications for the sports rights market in the country.
The law, which will go into effect on January 1, 2015, bans advertising on all subscription channels as well as on channels that can only be viewed with a decoding device. Excluded from the ban are all “national, compulsory, universally accessible” channels and those provided by terrestrial broadcasting.
Earlier this month, NTV Plus commentator Michael Mossakovskii said the ban would have dire consequences for the broadcaster’s coverage of football’s Uefa Champions League. “If there is a ban on advertising on pay-television… (NTV Plus) will not be able to fulfil its contract of showing the Champions League,” Mossakovskii said on social networking website Twitter. “Advertising is part of the coverage.”
NTV Plus, which operates basic-tier and premium pay-television channels as well as a pay-television satellite platform, shows live coverage of at least five matches per week from the Champions League. The broadcaster is about to enter the final year of a three-year rights deal, from 2012-13 to 2014-15, with sister free-to-air channel NTV also showing coverage.
Igor Zotov, a Duma deputy and leader of the marginal Russian Pensioners for Justice party, said the bill is supposed to level the playing field for free-to-air and subscription-based channels, according to the Moscow Times newspaper.

Sky is to show highlights of the Ashes series through its free-to-air channel Pick.
During the Ashes series a one-hour highlights programme will be shown at 10pm (UK time) every day during the Test action, ODI and T20 matches.
Sky says its coverage will include commentary from David Gower, Michael Atherton, Sir Ian Botham, Nasser Hussain, Andrew Strauss, David Lloyd and Shane Warne.
Pick is available on Sky channel 152, Freeview, Virgin Media and Freesat
This may be because no broadcasters such as BBC ITV C4 or Five bought a highlights package to show on their channels…?
