    Have you tried asking at reception if you can access the TV channels for a fee.  Although I would have thought if you could there would have been something to say that, but you never know.  A bored Mr SA is just going to up any mithering & you do not need that.

    Cheers for the heads up about tv situation SA - always wondered how they got all the English channels and current movies on Lanza.  Maybe there’s been a crackdown island wide / we will have to take our firestick with us when we go in August xx

    Hope you are enjoying your holiday despite the lack of English tv for MrSA.  Sky news for hours on end will not be relaxing or entertaining.

    I read somewhere that UK broadcasting satellite dishes move over time and have recently gone 'out of range' of southern European resorts - the Algarve in particular.  Not sure if that might be the cause of no TV.
