It seems Telmicro are showing sky programs again, but for how long? It was only a few weeks ago they were saying they were gone for ever due to a change in Spanish regs.. All these local transmitters are illegal, so I wouldn't risk any money on them personally. Get Sky. The programs you can receive will depend on the size of dish (1.45m gets most) and the picture is much better. When we had Telmicro we lost the picture in bad weather.

See my post further up for the situation as I see it.

LATEST NEWS(updated September 2nd)
Telmicro is broadcasting again. Customers on the Montesinos transmitter have been receiving some channels since last Saturday. It is our intention to be broadcasting to as many of our customers as possible by the end of this week.

We have been given permission to restart broadcasting. To begin with, it is a restricted service comprising of some of the channels that the company has contracted to retransmit. Telmicro´s clients have got to know these channels very well over the last year, such as MGM, Cinestar, XTRM Film Channel, Sci-Fi, Calle 13, Fox, National Geographic and many others. In addition, we will be showing some of the terrestrial programs.

Telmicro is working very hard to contract and provide even more channels that will appeal to our customers.

Telmicro will not make any charges to their customers for a month after the service has been resumed in their area. The second month will be half price and thereafter the monthly charges will be at a reduced rate.

Other providers be careful they are all illegal
These include Torresat, Sunbeam, GB TV, Solaris etc.

I am now in contact with a satellite company to investigate the possibility of locating a 2.4 metre dish which can then feed all apartments with new underground cabling. They would then be able to provide everyone with a basic package e.g. Free to view, Freesat, or Sky, if two feeds are provided you could have SkyPlus and Sky HD. Prices depend very much on how many require connection as the main expense is the big dish.

WHOOPS big problems here as well

How the Police see the supply of Sky cards in Spain..

"I was summoned to the Guardia Civil in Torrevieja for an interview with the Judicial Police. I was told in no uncertain terms that if we continued to supply Sky viewing cards then they would close us down,before you all start saying that Sky cards being used in Spain is not illegal etc,they dont see it that way ! My views on the legality fell on deaf ears,they are adamant "continue to supply Sky viewing cards and we will close you down" I have to comply and as such will not be supplying any more Sky viewing cards."
