Kabelio Access Module for U.K. TV in Mainland EU (3 Viewers)

[stewartwebr]

Given the demise of Intelsat last year and now the risk of Starlink cutting us off after 2 months (details need to be confirmed) I have been looking at back up options for TV in Spain before we head off for winter.
I ordered a Kabelio module from Amazon and have installed it today but won’t activate until I need it as you get 3 months free with the card (£56) Once it runs out subscription can be added for monthly or yearly use but you need a Swiss address, any address.
Has anyone else used this system, looks like a good solution, transmits via Hotbird.

I too am looking at this option and will be interested how you get on. As for the Swiss address this website may prove useful. https://swissmailbox.com/

And they all said satellite was dead........

We still find it the most convenient and reliable way to watch TV, with fire stick etc as a backup.

You need a Swiss address to order activate the card, get the free three months, then to renew the subscription.

Given you have the card, then perhaps just using a random address, like the university, or hotel, can be used, since i doubt they will send anything postal there, with it all being on line.

That is the plan, I shall see how it goes. Lot of talk on the German Motorhome forums about it and they indicate any address does the trick for setting up and buying annual subscription. I shall see what happens with Starlink changes from continent use to country use and 2 months limit out of country. We do prefer the simplicity of satellite for viewing, just much easier than firestick etc

Never heard of this before but looks a decent bit of kit, unfortunately we don’t have an 85cm dish that they recommend. I wonder if it would work with smaller dish when down in Spain.

If you can get hot bird sat it should be Iokay think 85cm will be for the extremes

I suppose if I try here in Scotland and get it I should be ok in Spain, or is it the other way round

Works fine on my 80cm dish in Valencia, as the Hotbird signals is strong all over Europe , and beyond!

I did a video on my YT channel earlier this year about it :
