Situated at Marbella Real (Local 21) on the Golden Mile, opposite the Villa Tiberio restaurant and a couple of doors up from Pan y Mermelada, SmartSat-Tv’s new showroom is due to open in mid-July.
SmartSat-Tv is part of the Smart group of companies, which also publishes Smart Magazine, a free publication distributed around the Marbella area. In addition they have a new radio station, Smart-Fm, scheduled to commence broadcasting on 1 August and covering Marbella to Estepona on frequency 89.7.
Announcing the new launches, SmartSat-Tv noted, “Many of you will already know that later this year, probably towards the end of August-early September, there will be major changes in the way we receive our favourite British television channels. Basically, it is more or less definite that we will lose reception of our BBC-ITV programs due to changes to the broadcast satellites. These channels will move to the new Astra 2E/F satellites, which have a spot beam focused on the UK. Reception of this beam will be impossible on the Costa del Sol.”
SmartSat-Tv has a range of solutions for individuals and communities to enable continued viewing of these channels. “All of the solutions offered and advertised to date, such as VPN and IPTV services, depend on a good internet connection with a constant download speed of around 3Mbps. SmartSat-Tv realised that many individual and community properties do not have suitable internet connections and will need a different solution to enable continued reliable viewing of their favourite channels.”
With that in mind, the company has announced it will have a licensed re-broadcast service available before the changes to the satellites are implemented. “Viewing will be achieved by the installation of a small satellite dish orientated to one of our transmission towers that are located on the mountain ranges inland from the coast.
Around 40 television channels and several radio programs will be available and will include all the popular UK channels together with channels purchased in Spain such as Travel, Cartoon Network, Paramount and TCM, all with English audio.”
SmartSat-Tv has partnered with several professional local satellite system/television installation companies to ensure the service is installed to a high level of customer satisfaction and that support is always available locally.
