We took our Sky HD+ and used a satellite dish for Sky channels, but no BBC, ITV etc. I have been told that if in north Spain i.e. Roses you can get BBC & ITV with a decent 85cm satellite dish.

It depends on which site/sites you intend using. We go to Bonterra Park. Depending on your pitch you may find someone who will lte you connect to their dish.

If you want to use wifi and a vpn we use Hideaway from firetrust.com. It even has a setting to watch UK tv. Worked perfectly last week when we were in the French Alps

Probably not the answer you wanted, but you can keep up with the news on BBC through a radio app, set a box to record your favourite programmes at home, and connect to Spanish TV via the aerial, maybe bring a book of DVS too. Theres also connecting to streaming through something like a Roku.
