tobywoods123 report on the outher forum

sky tv in Spain, they are closing in on us
hi, thanks for the post,

I also have seen a report about this and it will be taking action soon, im actually a former employee of Sky in the UK, and this has been on the cards for a while, Sky bascially know its happening but obvioulsy dont want to loose the buisness so they turn a blind eye to it all, however the Spanish authoritys want some kind of agreement or license put in place. so your right in what you say its only a matter of time for this to happen, i personally cannot live here without my TV, but this may not apply to everyone who may have come here to get away from all that, however this will effect many many bar owners, I suppose it really depends on the fee for a license, anyway watch this space.

1 . Digial + wont let any company come in to spain and take there subscription from them

Will sky/digial + have been closing in on pub in spain for some time now , think back as far as 2004 that been vistting pubs and recording who show what ...
if you showing sport in pubs in Any place from Usa Eu and so you pay highter fee then home fee you pay hight free for the pub Sky subscription and digial+

In spain you sould be subscription to the Digial + pub subscription wich work out about 400 euos per month not the sky sports wich is only 40 euros
in the uk its the same story aswell sky pub work out about charge around ?12000 to ?15000 per annum mid size pub

Why would the Spanish government collect a license fee on behalf on a private (non Spanish ) company ?
