Not knowing anything about satellite TV,I wondered if anyone could help?
I am shortly moving to Nerja for at least a year,my apartment has Spanish TV only.Is it possible to buy a digi box or is a dish necessary??.If so,approx what do they charge?The apartment upstairs has a dish.Is it possible to run more than one TV off them?
Any info gratefully received!!!

You may be interested to note that I found that site via a revolutionary search engine that I have discovered.
It is called google.com....perhaps, given time, it may take off.
By typing in 'satellite tv nerja', I was given all sorts of information.
If anyone is interested in trying it, may I suggest that you put it to the ultimate test and search for.....french military victories......then click on 'I'm Feeling Lucky'.
NOT get a reply!!!!!!!
I also did try Googling it first, but personal experience,from someone already living there is always worth having??
Thanks

Sending one email and expecting a reply will get you nowhere.
Try multiple emails over the course of a month.
I take it that you are considering using Sky, in which case you will have to have a billing address in the UK and pay through direct debit.
An engineer will have to visit your home in Spain to find out exactly what size dish is required. Further north, here in the Costa Blanca it varies between a 1.9 meter and 2.4 meter dish. We can get all channels except BBC2 (who watches that anyway?). The weather has to be really bad for the picture to break up.
Prices vary as well. I imagine that your local newspaper in Spain will have dozens of companies advertising to do the work. I would expect to pay at least 1000 Euro for installation, including digibox and card.
I am also led to believe that you can run more than one digibox from a dish, but I am not sure if that would reduce picture quality.
As far as sharing a dish it is possible, in fact I do this with my neighbour, but you will need a twin or quad LNB installed on the dish and of course your neighbour's permission. again a local installer will do this for around 100 euros. I hope this helps.
And don't forget, if you bring a box and card from UK, to get the card activated before you come to Spain
