I just took an Apple TV box to my son in Thailand and he then 'jailbroke' it via the internet (no cost). He can now watch BBC iplayer, ITV player, 4OD and Five OD as well as pay on demand for Sky Sports 1,2,3,4 and Sky movies. Cost is about £2.99 per day I think 0r £5.99 per month - or £14.99 for 3 months - or £39.99 per year.
I'm going to try the same thing myself this next week. If I can get Sky for £3.95 per month then I will be more then happy to shell out £90 for the box - especially as it fits in so well with my iphone and the wife's ipad. I also understand that anything you have on your iphone/pad or pc can be played instantly through your tv. Wifi is required of course.

The website looks good and it does work according to my son:
http://www.flashsportstreams.tv/He uses this one for the sports and movie channels plus ITV and BBC. I think he gets his other channels through his jailbroken apple tv console.
