When these things arrived on our island around three or four years ago there were a couple of options. You could either rent it for a monthly fee or pay outright for the system. The latter included a yearly maintenance charge of 90 euros.
We enquired but were told that our balcony wasn't high enough for the aerial to receive a signal. Anyway, as reported on an earlier blog, we tested one out, earlier this year, and it was perfect. Lovely telly since: well almost!
It was just our luck for the man in charge to find a way of encrypting the system. No 90 euros, no tv. Brian went off to sort it today and found that last year's fee hadn't been paid either.
Still, it was worth it as I could curl up on the sofa and watch The Tudors. Hopefully, matey won't go bust before next October.
