On the 18th of January we went onto TDT (Televisión Digital Terrestre) all over Spain, Almuñécar included. TDT is digital transmission via normal terrestrial broadcasts, rather than via a satellite.
There were some hiccups to start with, with the image pixelating as also happens with satellite dishes during heavy rain, but it appears to be sorted now.
For those within the foreign community that don’t watch Spanish TV, this milestone will have come and gone without being noticed, but for mere mortals it has open the viewing spectrum by quite a few channels, including an English-language one (Sony).
