This is to protect the agent who does all the work from people who then make a deal directly with the seller. As it is amultiple agency listing, any commision has to be shared. Pay with a credit card.

Everyone would have noticed that most UK channels are now lost particularly in Southern Spain. It seems that even a 3 metre dish will not be sufficent.

As TV through the internet seems to be the only solution, the next problem is how to get it. Many companies are charging about £25 a month for standard definition buit if you can fool the UK sites into thinking you are in the UK you should be able to watch many programs through BBC iplayer etc for free.

Normally this is done through something called a proxy but the free ones will not be sufficent in the long time as TV streaming consumes huge bandwith. Personally I am trying to find a way of using my fibre optic internet connection in the UK to stream live TV to here in Spain.

There is a device  called Slingbox which I have used in the past where you have your skybox, freesat etc situated in the UK and the slingbox changes the channels and allows you to watch through any PC. This neccesitates having broadband service in UK

There are also small cheap IPTV boxes such as NOWTV, but I have not tried that yet in Spain. I think you have to have a UK address to register one. I guess in the next few days we will be hearing a lot of possible solutions. In the meantime there is a free SD streaming service which I found on a site called ukinfocom site under webTV. I have not tried their HD which is paid for, and I am not sure how they will cope with the more than likely huge demand but it seems adequate at the moment for watching the soaps and the news although sometimes a bit jerky.

Many UK programmes can be found on youtube a couple of days after broadcast.

 Smart TVs maybe able to get some UK channels but not all.  To connect your PC to your TV you will normally need an HDMI lead, and for convenience a remote mouse and keyboard. Carrefour do a good combo set which works well on the couch own brand for about £20

Thread: Lost UK Channels time for IPTV

I was curious as to why the TV companies have allowed this to happen. According to Channel 5 it is because the TV programs they broadcast have only been licenced to be shown in the UK As technology advances the satellite are more directional. Ch5 says expect more channels to be lost next year. So it looks like we have to hide our ip to watch on demand or use p2p and filmon.com etc.

Channel 4 is a UK Broadcaster and as such, we only have the rights to broadcast our channels in the UK and some of our digital channels in the Republic of Ireland. If you have been receiving our channels outside of these areas, then you have been receiving what is called 'gratuitous reception'. As we purchase the rights to show programmes within this geographic area only, it has been necessary to tighten our broadcast footprint which would be why you can no longer receive our channels.
