 Hi 

Yes you do need broadband, but nowadays peoples access to the internet seems to be important , even for holiday homes wifi seems to be a priority, i have a friend who rents out part of the year and he tells me that  renters seem to expexct wifi and tv in the property, and so with the internet you can get tv .He users a provider who give access when you need it rather than a yearly contract. I guess this varies from area to area depends on provider deals.

 I aggree there must be better ways of getting uk tv than big unsightly dishes, the internet seems to be the way forward as the connections get better and faster. I am using a program by The computer company, you can get live uk tv as well as access to netflix and sky go, and some other stuff, best of all its cheap works out at from 6 euros a month, free if you only want catchup! and if your part time out here, you can just subscribe for the time your here.

ive posted there video demo

Thanks inspectahomespain

Dont know anything about proxys, but i do know without any fuss or configuration.

It works with the program from the computer company. its a download you can get from their website computers-spain

I use the premium version which has various monthly payment options, and gets me loads of UK channels inc access to sky go and Netflix all at the click of a button on their interface, i did not have to do any configuration i just downloaded and SKY GO.

This may be useful to  people who have internet.

 Using a program such as i use from the computer company, I have Sky in the UK and so i can watch sky go here with this program, without the need for a dish here.

I have seen sky advertise that you can subscribe to sky go only, without having to have the full sky package dish etc. and therefore watch sky through the internet.  You probably need a UK address, so for residents who can sort a uk address a good  option, Perhaps if you have a relative in the UK with sky they would allow you to use their sky go account.

Holiday makers can access their sky account whilst in Spain, providing they have an internet connection.

 Hi yes you are correct, FREE stuff seems to be a waste of time pop ups ads. The latest ive heard is one of the main free providers expatshield is droping spyware and viruses on to computers, as i say you get nothing for nothing even worse expensive computer fixes.

Im using a program download from the computer company in la marina it enables you to get catchup TV the fastest connection ive used so far, BBC and ITV player as well as some other UK and Spanish channels, for a one of fee, they also offer a pay monthly section so you can access sky go, netflix if you have those accounts, also  includes loads of other catchup and live UK channels.

isitworthatry? i say yes, what do you think, might as well try because you can get a free trial.

 

ive linked there you tube video it shows you how to connect your laptop to your TV
