What the people above are eluding to is the changes coming in later this year that could strip the Algarve of all UK transmissions.

Have a look here:

You could be wasting your money and nobody knows the answer yet.

Has anyone actually asked RJTechnica or the other suppliers what they know of this?

[keithpovah]

thank you for the replies - very helpful.

I had read about the change in the satellite, but I was presuming it would mean a simple upgrade.

do we know approximately when this is going to happen ? Spring ? summer? autumn ?

If you're in the Carvoeiro area MEO (part of PT) have a good cable wifi system; they have a shop near the other mobile shops in Algarve shopping. Then you can wander round the phone shops & see what you think is the best deal, Vodafone, T Mobile etc are all there.

In oct found that TMN were offering a broadband + house phone for 14.99/mth. We use vodafone sim only for our mobile, seems quite cheap.

Mark at Skyrealm is a Sky engineer email: skyrealm@hotmail.com He is also as much up to date as anyone about the Sky situation what with being in the business locally. Having a Sky dish I asked his opinion about this so maybe worth contacting him direct, very helpful. I do have his number but I think best to email so you can write your questions in an email then call if necessary. Hope it all works out for you and the move goes well.
