Use your Apple TV and Airplay to enjoy the dT Media TV service

You can use the Apple TV to watch your dT Media TV via Airplay

Apple TV + Airplay + dT Media TV service

Did you know?

If you have an Apple TV, you can stream all dT Media TV channels to your TV using Airplay without a dT Media BOX.

We have noticed that many customers are using their iPad’s or iPhone’s to select the channel they want to watc

h but then send the signal to their Apple TV to take over! Once the Apple TV starts streaming the channel, you can turn off your iPhone or iPad and enjoy.

Of course, the Apple TV does not have the additional inbuilt functions that are provided by the dT Media BOX, but if you have one of these lying around….now you know you can also use it for dT Media TV in the meantime ;-)

I.G.I.C will be 7% as from 1st of July, even for Telecommunications

As from the 1st of July 2012, the tax conditions in the Canaries will change and this time telecommunications services are also affected.
We would like to encourage our customers in the Canaries to read the following article written by the Canarian Weekly which outlines the changes that will take place.

Direct Telecom – “Clearly the best selling service at the Over 50′s Show”

As admitted by the event organisers themselves, the Direct Telecom stand was so busy both days that there were people literally queuing up to get their DT Total deal.

“We were amazed to see that many of the visitors that are already customers of ours simply came by to tell us how happy they were with our service!  There is nothing more pleasing than hearing it from our customers personally and seeing the sincerity in their eyes” says Mariano Cavero (Head of Customer Services).

The 2 day event was once again a success for Direct Telecom, and the whole team wants to thank all the visitors that came to see us.  We also want to welcome on board all the new customers that joined us on the day as well as all the encouraging feedback from our current customers.  There is truly nothing more rewarding!

Direct Telecom also raffled 2 fantastic Motorola cordless phones!
The winners on Saturday was Mr & Mrs Hinchliff and the winners for Sunday were Mr & Mrs Churchill. Congratulations!

Average ADSL speed in Spain…..there´s room for improvement!!

Shocking! A recent study of average download speeds has left Spain at the tail end of the listings.

The study analysed 27 million downloads from 20 million computers in 224 countries through the first six months of this year and the results confirm that Spain has one of the slowest download speeds within Europe, in fact, only Italy faired worse than us!

The study highlighted the high speeds of Eastern Europe where the infrastructure has been improved and comparing Rumania´s 1.9Mbps to Spain´s 394Kbps it gives us an idea of how behind in the race we really are.

Even our neighbours, Portugal, reached a modest 553Kbps and if we compare that to South Korea´s impressive 2.2Mbps then we can only cross our fingers and hope that sometime, in the near future, we will be able to enjoy improved, more reliable speeds. With distant promises of fiber optics just how much longer will we have to wait to get up to speed with the “best” of Europe?

Cook (31 English), will be fighting the current WBO world champion Ricky Burns (28, Scotland) which will bring together arguably the two best Super-Featherweight’s in the UK.

The whole team at Direct Telecom have had the pleasure of meeting Nicky in person during 2011 on various occasions.  It was immediately clear to us that Nicky is not only  genuinely a great person, but we could not help admiring his focus & determination to achieve his goals.

We are delighted to sponsor Nicky for the upcoming fight.  We wish him all the best and let’s hope that the Direct Telecom logo on his shorts will bring him good luck!
Ricky Burns will be defending his title for the 3rd time round while Nicky Cook wants to heal his pain by winning his belt back.  The fight is a potential classic in the making which can be watched Saturday 16th of July at 21:00 Live on Sky Sports. Don’t miss it!
