That’s been the burning question this week as thousands of you have been left without many of the UK Sky TV channels. Confusion arose early last week as customers of companies supplying Sky television via a re-broadcast system experienced the big switch off when programmes were cut without warning. The ‘Leader’ was alerted to the situation when one of our advertisers who provides a television system came in to our office saying broadcasting of Sky subscription channels will cease and a Guardia Civil team was in place to carry out inspections. He said that BSkyB had been in negotiations with and joined forces with Canal Plus, meaning Sky would now have a presence outside of the UK and would be able to enforce a clampdown on the rebroadcast of its programmes with the rights now going to Canal Plus. However, there was no announcement of this merger on their website and the rumour was denied by a Sky spokesman in London.

We had a strong response to our story in edition 207 entitled ‘Squatter’s Rights? What About Owner’s Rights!’ including from a number of solicitors and legal firms offering advice and assistance to Ray and Diana Swift whose home was being rented out by a company which no longer existed and they were not receiving rent from the occupants. One of the most interesting calls we received was from a resident in the urbanisation concerned and with the help of Ray Bricknell and Brigitte Klam Anderson, residents at Sol y Sal, we have contacted the family living in the Swift’s house. The family were happy to explain their version of events, and hopefully find a peaceful solution which pleases all parties involved. |
