Here in Southern Spain we have been enjoying BBC satback via Intelsat 901 27.5w. This would now be a thing of the past as Satback has transferred to Telstar 12 15w, which appears to be out of range for us!
We will continue to search for alternatives, but IPTV would now appear to be the only solution!
Before people say, that we should learn Spanish and watch their TV, I would ask, have you ever seen Spanish TV?
Anyway, thanks for allowing me to join your community.:cool:

It must be grim indeed if British local television is better.

My 2 pesetas worth...
I think,when you choose to live in a different country (and not forced to do so by some employer or dictator)
a minimum is learn the local language and TV,and go to the market. If you hate their TV ,the chance is great,this country is just not for you.
I feel that with US tv USA may be important in our culture,the place is just not for me & their TV is an easy way to notice that.
BTW Russian TV is much,much worse...try it!!
So,if you can' t swallow Spanish tv... look for another place!
Don t forget their regional channels and TVE2 are usually better than the terrible Antena3 or telecinco...
This being said,when you keep connections to the UK ,TV being part of popular culture,watching it is a way of keeping connected to your UK community.Logical enough.
You just now have TWO communities ((at least) ,so enjoy both!!
Bi-cultural couples will always share their cultural activities between at least 2 "hotspots"
Having taught English for over 33 years, I have this duality... and my partner also speaks Urdu,plus some Spanish for us both.
More of us in Eurasia should enjoy multiple cultures & TV is quite a good start!!

just my own experience ,having "tried" 6 different countries (and their TV).
TV is an expression of the popular culture of a country/language .
For example,Flemish & French speaking Belgian TV institutes produce different brands of TV fare,both interesting...just different.
Marbella has Andalucia TV...Morocco next door,maybe Gibraltar too...diversity makes it spicy!

yes, first on sat (14w) then on this one,easy to handle
since theitr sat availibility has become flimsy.
Used to be on hotbird,so it was easy to check from time to time.
We saw the gradual obsession with war themes,the agressivity of talk shows,the scarcity of music shows ,which are what we used to enjoy...
Pougacheva had to leave that Titanic in time.
And we have a low command of Russian.
The evolution has just been terryfying, 1933-1939 like in German terms.
Goebbels has her daily show on Rossya-1! (she looks like a lady;Goebbels didn 't)

One have to have full access to 36E and 75E and 80E Russian satellites, good russian language skill and ability to filter out propaganda and 'news' programmes, then the rest is mostly good quality content. On 14W or Hotbird has never been these non-political cultural, leisure and film channels, only twisted current affairs and cheap entertainment.

You can't stand Ольга because she often uses the russian word извращенцы = persons whose sexual behaviour is considered strange and unpleasant by most people in Russia.

An internet connection is enough.

yes,hating jews,gays,foreigners(today's "ukronazis","lgbt" a Western komintern aiming at innocent Russians... let s name a few others) was typical of Goebbels'usual phrases.Röhm was one example!
Who will be Russia's Röhm? maybe Wagner's late leader already was ?
Mendelssohn's monument was exploded by the Nazis... when will Tchaikowsky's monument follow?

What about the propagandist Vladimir Soloviev who is jewish and works at the same TV channel like Ольга.
Is he like Goebbels too? Or since he is jewish he is a good guy?
He often uses the word сволочь when he talks about some people.
On the french TV channel LCI they often show quotes from his show on Possia 1.

Vladimir Soloviev est naît dans une famille dont la mère et le grand-père paternel sont d'origine juive.
Vladimir Soloviev was born into a family whose mother and paternal grandfather were of of Jewish origin.

For this, there should be a topic called "Hyde Park," where everyone can bring a chair if they want to talk. :)

As stated in the rules:
"No Political or Religious discussion, it is divisive and causes problems"

As others have said, this thread has gone way off-topic and the initial theme of it is being discussed elsewhere so I will close this one.
