[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 1132212, member: 330868"] The Canaries (Spain in general) have certainly gone very fibre optic over the last years, which means that Movistar+ via Astra 19.2°E seems to be limited now to more rural areas. Astra 1 dishes still seem relatively popular out there though - especially in accommodation aimed at us northern Europeans! All the free German channels plus a handful of French, English (Sky News/BBC World News) and Dutch (BVN) free to air. Having said that, in Gran Canaria a couple of weeks ago I noticed a lot of the bars seem to have moved to dodgy IPTV for the sport, which was dreadful. About a minute behind TVs showing the broadcast feeds, jerky picture and constant buffering/crashing of the cheap boxes. It must be very cheap or free... A more dedicated sports bars seemed to be showing football via the Dutch package on 23.5°E. LNB Skew was definitely pretty pronounced on the 19.2°E dishes there too, I can confirm. [/QUOTE]
