TV Blues

On Tuesday 12th, plain clothed and duty patrols from the Policia Judicial and Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Alicante, Novelda and Pilar de la Horadada, raided the Telemicro Levante offices in San Luis. Telemicro clients experienced a temporary break in service during the morning. Selected channels were reinstated intermittently before computers and other technical equipment were confiscated from the Los Montesinos office during the early part of the afternoon. Broadcasting then ceased completely. Several representatives of the company were detained by the Guardia Civil. Independent installers were left as much in the dark by Telemicro Levante as it's customers.
Neill found his job in jeopardy and within two days had secured employment with Torresat. He has been inundated with calls requesting installation of a tv package consisting of 70 television channels and 20 radio stations. This package costs 190 Euros to install and 20 Euros monthly payable by direct debit. There are many who have paid Telemicro Levante either monthly or a year's fee in advance and it must be assumed that this money is not recoverable.
As usual there are rumours flying about that Telemicro Levante will resume services on Monday 18th, we will have to watch this space, in the mean time the quality of the new system Neill is offering far upstages that of Telemicro Levante.
