Some of you I'm sure will be interested in this, as I know there has been a lot of interest in, and discussion on the subject of the availability of TV channels in Spain, especially for those of you who are having or have had problems getting some channels, and I came upon this recently, and have found it to be quite useful, and was thinking that some of you who might be experiencing tv problems might also find it of use, as it has got some fairly useful channels on it.
It is called VIDEOWEBGATE, FOUND AT www.videowebgate.com and all you do is click on the country of your choice on the left-hand side, then look at the available channels on the right-hand side, then click on the little red arrow to view the station.
If you don't see anything at first, wait a little, then if still nothing, click on the Link at the bottom of the page, where it says "If you don't see anything, click here"...and then it usually works.
I have had no problems with using this facility, the video quality is not bad, and it's FREE, which is always a highly desireable feature.
Hope it will be of use to some members & expats, and anybody who has not got a tv in their place yet (for whatever reason/s), if your in a wireless zone, and have a Laptop pc, at least you can get some kind of tv this way for a while, and it's very useful at work too during coffee breaks, to check-out the main news updates et cetera.
Angelo, THankyou so much for the link. I am in the United States at the moment and miss Spain dearly! so now at least I can see some kind of Spanish tele Like TVE and telecinco etc. I love it!! cheers to yu Angelo!!!!

Thanks Andra, I'm pleased to hear that it is of use to you, I'm sure that you too will be enjoying some programas & Peliculas this week, I have been, and have not been dissapointed at all.
It must be really thrilling for you to be able to sit and watch some of your favorite canales, and to keep up with what is happenning in the news, as & when it happens here in Spain, and so long as you can get to a desktop pc, you can check & see what's on.
Un abrazo...
Angelo.

I know exactly what you mean, I have the same problem with people over here even, I guess most people are just too preoccupied with their own thing to be bothered, and I too don't meet many who have the same passion about España as you & I do, even in Spain.....(go figure!!)
Ciao...Angelo.
