For regular readers a quick catch up on last month’s personal info. The knee is still pain free (acupuncture, for me, amazing) and our electric billing choice working well. It’s good to use any appliance when wanted and not have to think about ‘cheap rate’ times. I am writing this in mid July with the extreme heat wave and A/C on at 7pm – we would not have done that under cheaper rate scheme as this would be peak charge time.
All is well at the Rainbow house – our four dogs sleep all day in the heat and then want to play all night – we really must get into the Spanish way – morning work, afternoon siesta and play at night – but it’s just not in our northern European culture.
Rainbow’s charity – Friends of Mazarrón Animals – is still helping any animal in need in the area. Any animal that comes into our care we will eventually find a home for, but it is the time from taking it into our care to getting them that home which is always the problem. Could you foster? We always get told “I couldn’t foster because I couldn’t let them go”. Well that is understandable, but you could let them go to a checked new home with perfect new owners – then you could help another on its way to its new life. Yes it’s hard letting them go, but I do it with the knowledge that they’re going to an excellent home and the next is on its way to me to start its new journey.
Please consider fostering.

We are well into the summer satellite signals that are at least 20% lower than the winter signals as the hot air attenuates the signals. If you are on satellite system you will probably have lost at least some channels especially if you have the smaller dishes. There simply is no magic answer; wait until autumn/winter when the signals should come back, get a bigger dish (really not recommended as system has a limited life), or go the future of TV route – internet TV.
There are many ways to watch internet TV – from the free to the very expensive IPTV systems. Rainbow do not deal with the free options any more, simply because they are unreliable and often require a computer geek to operate them, but also there is no need to go to the very expensive. Rainbow’s IPTV system is professionally managed 24/7 and gives a vast array of TV channels, box sets, films and catch up TV at a very competitive price – no we are not the cheapest, nor the most expensive – but we are the best for reliability and service! For IPTV customer service we are open 9am-9pm, 7 days a week. We don’t think any other provider offers that service. We hope you do not want to contact us, but the service is there!
If you’ve never tried IPTV on your internet supply, or previously had a really bad experience (there are lots of those around) then let Rainbow Satellites give you a free no-obligation home demonstration and a loan box for a week so that you can fully test and assess the system. If you don’t want it at the end of the week then we just come and take it away – no hard sell. However, it is the future and one day soon you will have to go this route to watch UK TV in Spain. Satellite UK TV will close down within a few years. Contact us for more information.
If you are buying your first home down here in southern Spain, contact us for UK TV options. Yes we know you have not purchased your dream property to watch UK TV, but it is important to many. Winters are long, chilly and dark at 5pm and you’ll want some home entertainment and that will be UK TV. Rainbow have been here 23 years and we really do know residents requirements!
That’s it for August – another edition in September 2022.
