Telmicro Levante

hi is this the slingbox which works from your pc , so you will need broadband

Yes...

You also need either a house (with appropriate TV) in the UK or a friend / relative as the feed source plus you also need a good quality internet feed...

The technology has been around for quite a while and I recall having used it in the States a few years ago but I'm sure it is much changed now.

Forgive me, I have to be a little cautious here as I'm involved with the new Eltel.TV service being prepared for launch...

but the current alternatives (without comment upon legality) would appear to be: -

A big dish with a suitable receiver Freesat or Sky
One of the MMDS re-broadcasters such as Torresat or Superbeam
IPTV / WebTV (including 'slingbox' and Telefonic's offerings)
Spanish TDT service (which I currently use)

or the somewhat ironical 'reprogramming the ex-telmicro coship boxes to accept the Torresat unencrypted signals'

It really is a case of 'you pay your money and you take your chance' at the moment...

I was given a sling box for Christmas 2 years ago - and it NEVER worked!!

you need a broadband connection at both ends ( home in UK) and wherever you wish to receive.

[maddy]

Did it not work because there was a fault with the Slingbox or because you didn't have broadband connections at "both ends"?

hi thanks for above i am in torreveija where would i go to get the above put in. what i want is just all sports chanels.

There are plenty of sports channels available, but I guess it would be best to discuss this with the people in the shops.

I think in the majority of incidences the sporting event is purchased and commentary added locally not dubbed, therefore an English version would not be available. That said I watched the liverpool/chelsea match the other day and the commentator was just like 'sheepheads' Senor Willy from Soccer AM,

ah thems was the days!!!

so go ask in any Master Cadena electrical products store.

[QUOTE=skytvinspain;20260]Unlike most satellite installers we have stock available for immediate installations from 5th Novemeber onwards. There has been huge demand for the satellite dishes that are manufactured in Portugal as they have a high gain. The factory is currently working 12 hour shifts around the clock to meet demand. I visited the factory in September and have placed an order for 75 dishes that will be arriving next week.....

I have heard that divorce Lawyers in Costa Blanca have been equally as busy as we are!

HOW MANY MORE TIMES TORRESAT ARE NOT BEING CLOSED DOWN They have come into line with the SPANISH BROADCASTING LAWS by removing all Sky Channels. Under Spanish law they are completely legal. Why do you have to spread these scaremonger stories, haven't we ex telmicro clients gone through enough, just get on with installing your system and leave us torresat customers alone.

I was of the understanding they retransmitted BBC & ITV channels illegally. Our friends use Torresat & are under no illusions that they could lose it any day, should the powers that be choose to do so.

As I said before they are breaking no SPANISH LAW by rebroadcasting BBC ITV etc they are however contravening broadcasting rights in the UK. The worst that can happen is that these TV companies in the UK will try to stop them rebroadcasting their channels but as they have known about this practice for many many years I doubt they will bother as they now are free to air channels anyway.To be honest until or should I say if it happens I don't want to keep reading all these rumours, unless somebody knows without a doubt that what they are saying is true I don't think they should keep on needlessly worrying people.
