Since 2012, all channels are digital.

All national, regional and local Spanish television channels are available to Portuguese households along the national border, subject to restrictions due to distance or local topography. Regional Spanish channels (like TV Galicia or Extremadura TV) usually acknowledge this and cover local events of the border communities on their programs.

Subscription-based channels

All terrestrial channels are available in these platforms and services. Most of the subscription-based channels broadcast from Portugal or have a specific version with independent programs for that market. Most of these channels are widely available across platforms and services: Basic cable and fiber, digital services in cable, fiber, landlines and satellite across the nation.
