How do I get Channel TELECINCO

[andygwen04]

I have a Thalis V Elap digi box and currently receive approx 30 Spanish channels via Hispasat. I would like to watch channel Telecinco but can't find it.
Do I need to change to another satellite (Hotbird or Astra), and is it an encrypted channel? If so any ideas on how I can receive it?

Many Thanks

Hi,

Do a search for Telecinco as some information is available.

One site said they have Digital Terestrial but there is something here as well:-

Looking at the information the satellite channels are encoded though.

Apparently it is available on the Astra satellite but encrypted with Mediaguard 2 & Nagravision 3 and is in the Digital+ package.
Must admit don't understand what that means, I don't want to sign upto any package where I have to pay a monthly fee.
Any idea how I can watch it for free (without going to my local bar!!)

I am not techno, but my telecinco is just through my freeview box and roof ariel, I couldn't get to many channels with the sat dish, so I changed over, wished I hadn't with all the uk footy that is on now

Hi Julie

There is a pay channel available through the TDT platform called GOL which I believe has a lot of English games. With TVE and Teledeporte should give you up to 6 games to choose from at the weekend.you can get the tueday night champions league games plus loads of other leagues
You need a special reciever or if you have a TV with a camcard slot you can use that. both types are around 85€
The monthly cost is 15€

It would be interesting to hear from anybody who is using this service
