Terrestrial tv Spain

[ian9532]

Hi
I'm just about to buy a Technomate HD6900 Super which has two tuners, a DVB-S/S2 satellite (for Freesat) and a DVB-T Terrestrial.
I live in Spain so what can I pick up on the terrestrial set up.
Many thanks.
Ian

I think it depends where you are - a friend up in the northwest said he got stuff with no problem, while down in the Cartagena area I didn't manage to get any channels. Said friend produced a map showing coverage which showed my area on the edges (but covered) - they reckon to have the whole of peninsular Spain covered!

Hi
Thanks for the replies, we live near Murcia, about 20/30 mins from Cartagena so will have to wait and see.
1.9m dish is being installed 3rd December so will post then.

I finally got up on the roof and installed the terrestrial aerial, reception is very good. The TM found 32 tv stations and numerous radio, good news is that you can now watch the Premiership games and also you can revert back to the original language on a lot of the channels, my Spanish isn't what it should be.
