Receiving Portuguese/Brazilian TV channels in the UK

March 22nd, 2010
  • I live in the UK, and I want to watch lots of Portuguese and/or Brazilian TV channels. In particular, I want RTP 1 and RTP 2 (both from Portugal), and SIC (from Brazil), but if I can't get these, others will do! What is the cheapest/best way to receive them? Can I get them through cable, or would I need to get some sort of satellite dish? And who provides them?


  • Instead of the TPS link in my previous comment: http://www.tps.fr/v2/f_contenu/B/B_G09_sic.htm http://www.tps.fr/


  • The following programmes from Portugal via satellite are not encrypted (but before buying a satellite dish you should check the dish size necessary for your region): http://www.lyngsat.com/freetv/Portugal.shtml The many satellite channels from Cabo TV may only be available within Portugal: http://www.tvcabo.pt/comum_English.asp http://www.lyngsat.com/dig/cabo.shtml If you are interested in receiving Cabo TV here is the footprint of Hispasat 1C: http://www.hispasat.com/FlotaSat/pop_up_cobH1C-2.htm SIC is also broadcast by the French TPS: http://www.tps.fr/v2/frameset.htm?arg=f_contenu/D/D_G16_vosquestions.htm&menu=z2 The Portuguese version of EuroNews is available in England: Eurobird 1 satellite (28.2 East) 11681 V (you have to change the language setting of your satellite receiver: http://www.lyngsat.com/eb1.shtml http://www.lyngsat.com/dig/skyuk.shtml Did you already ask you local cable operator?


  • You can perhaps get RTPi (the i stands for international). Here's the contact info, which i found at http://www.rtp.pt/web/empresa/contactos_empresa.shtm: Emiss es Internacionais Telf.: (00 351) 217 947 481 E-mail: rtpi@rtp.pt / rtpafrica@rtp.pt


  • Although this question has expired I would like to add that since a couple of day the Brazilian "Record International" is available in the UK via Sky Digital. However, I don't know if this programme will remain an unencrypted channel or not. You can find more information here (26/09/03 and 25/09/03): http://skydigital.mediabullet.co.uk/index.php?page=home Frequency etc. (11390 H): http://www.lyngsat.com/dig/skyuk.shtml Record International: http://www.recordinternacional.com.br/


  • SIC is not from brazil.. Sic is a portuguese one. They have SIC Internacional that broadcasts to a lots of countries including Brazil
