8). Watching TV in Spain By : Justin Aldridge
What about my UK TV?
If you are thinking of taking your TV with you to Spain, TV sets operating on the British system (PAL-1) won’t work. Spain uses the PAL- BG standard. However, it will work via a satellite system or by connecting the aerial to a Spanish video player, which must be connected by a SCART lead to the TV. Most expats who move to Spain, with all the best intentions of learning Spanish via the television usually end up with a whacking great dish taking up half of their terrace.
