Kevin it says no contact details on your profile
-
While we are on about English TV - Has anyone tried a freesat box in Turkey? I ask because I just bought one to get HD TV (free of course) and it's a pretty cool piece of equipment. Just hook it up to your sky dish and away you go. Thing is would it work in Turkey (larger dish needed I know)?
PS - The one I bought - Humax Foxsat is really tiny and would easily fit in your hand luggage.
-
I understand that although you still need the same size of dish, they do work (why wouldn't they) and perform better than most Sky boxes.
I have one here and well worth it for the HD sport.
-
it would work stoop but yes you would need the 3m dish as you are trying to receive from the same satellite
-
All very well but we cannot contact you as you have no email address on your profile so perhaps you could email me to let me have the contact details.
As far as I know to do what you say you must have a proxy server in place with a UK IP address. What guarantees does he give that it will never change?
We have a set up like this but pay per month but that guarantees us that the IP address is permanent.
Would be interested to know what this fellow offers and may well switch.
Get in touch please via my profile.
Thanks

-
crabbit can you send or sell us the email address you removed please
-
Would you need a 3mtr dish or a larger one? I've seen reports that larger ones might be needed in our part of Turkey.
-
I'd be really interested to find out more if you could send me an email with the details please Kevin.
-
My email is now in my profile sorry about that , kevin
-
By the way im not trying to sell anything MR CRABBIT, just trying to save you all from loosing money,with these systems there selling here, Kevin
-
Kevin can you put a contact email on your profile or please email me. The reason crabbit took the email off is to stop spammers

Well a lot of people have been using this free proxy server for quite a time now.
http://slypimp.com/
Personally I use a slightly different proxy but this will work ok.

Ok, exactly what am I supposed to do please when the page opens??? I haven't got a clue what my "URL" is and even more distressing - I don't know where to find it!! Can someone please furnish a very, very simple idiots guide of exactly what to do and what to press!!! Thank you in anticipation!!!!
-
Didnt you info come with instructions?
nothing about a url on mine?
if you e mail me Ill send my instructions,easy.
-
This thing is so easy to install please read the instructions i sent to you all by the way ive replied to every email i recieved.A little advice to everyone whos now got this, download GOOGLE CHROME or FIREFOX both of these speed up your pcs download time,dont forget to have this working on your tv set you need connect a VGA cable or you can use a S-VIDEO cable from your pc to the tv,now on the page where you choose your tv station theres a forum button click on that and all the answers you need on this gizmo are there,also i would just like to thank Tinkerman for offering to send emails to people who have not yet got this thanks mate very kind of you.
Now after all the instructions i emailed and the few things ive mentioned above if you cannot work it now best listen to the radio live on, www.ukradiofeeds.com ok now im off apart from id like to say to (Scunner) sorry for using CAPITOLS again but i find it easier than lower case with my eyes because ive been watching to much ENGLISH TELEVISION no other reason lol, sorry scunner just had to get that in,bye woody
-
Thanks Tinx got it 2nd time.
Have downloaded it and got it working but it keeps freezing. We have got the top package on TTnet so have the fastest download speeds anyone else experiencing the same problem here in Turkey?
Tried downloading google chrome but it wanted me to reinstall Adobe flash player which I have already. When I tried to download it again my PC was sending me warnings that downloading it could damage my pc so I cancelled it.
Any advise?
Fi
-
Firo we are having problems here freezing all the time what speed have you got? trying to watch Holyoaks it is a waste of time
Mark
-
Mark, first of all do a speed check. I have got by all year watching UK tv with just 1meg connection. Streaming needs around 800-900 I think. Is your computer up to spec.enough ram etc!! Make sure you are unlimited internet time as watching one prog about an hour long would use about half a gigabyte.
http://www.tvcatchup.com/login/ will access 18 channels in the proxy panel I gave you earlier. Try BBC Player and ITV for live and missed progs and even Sky(if you have a contact in the UK with Sky, you can access with their help all the paid channels to).
You tube to.
-
Hi Tel I have a high spec laptop I have done a speed check only getting 504 kbs download 228kbs upload. I have applied to upgrade too 2 meg from 1st April I am wondering if it will be worth it
Mark
-
Our wifi link is 54mb per sec. We have 4gb broadband connection with unlimited downloads. My lap top has 2gb ram...
Still crap connection trying to watch question of sport and it is stopping all the time and is really frustrating to watch :(
Don't know what else to do [?]
Fi
-
Well, if 99% of you stopped watching (http://www.calisvilla.co.uk/laughing.gif)
-
Hi,Got to say out of all the people ive emailed this uk tv set up instructions to, only a couple of folks have got problems look on tvcatchups forum as i said before here you will find answers to all your problems,oh by the way scunner read its review yourself in the forum pages you will find it can handle over 2 million downloaders.
But if you no of a better one why not post it so folks can remove the one ive given them,you seem to have a plaster for every wound so put one on this 8),sorry if its not worked for everyone i dont own the site just tried to give you something for nothing,Woody
-
Bearing in mind Scunner owns this site and was obviously jesting as the animation suggests....

I couldn't care less about this "wound", I was making a small tongue in cheek comment. Have some respect or don't post at all. For the record, when it comes to getting "something for nothing" on the internet, it's like everywhere else, you get what you pay for.
-
working absolutely fine, normal bog standard laptop 49TL per month ADSL (unlimited) nothing fancy and it works.
maybe some should check the power (electric into your homes)it does cause problems.
Don't knock what is for free!
-
Ok i apologise, Mr Scunner i get your message about tounge in cheek comment also ive got respect,then you say dont post at all if i have no respect ok i agree so in future i will show respect.So may i say to you with respect of course, look at some of the replies youve posted here over the course of time,thanks Tinkerman for pointing out scunner owns the site.
-
Mark, you have probs with speed download then, looks like you need 2Mb just to guarantee 1Mb download. Like Loz says too, check your electric power points that they are delivering enough volts to keep the modem happy. Then see TT people to check the line.
Firo, maybe your other set up is in conflict! Try viewing through another browser seperate from your usual one. Not sure what Woody has come up with! Never heard anyone say that 4Mb ever delivers 4Mb. At least you have your other system if all fails huh.
-
After the success of the other tv programe i posted heres another one to try but this time you can download it saves me emailing it to you all,http://downloads.cnet.co.uk/0,39100210,39317186s,00.htm copy and paste the above into your address bar then press download,allow download when asked just below address bar, after download open it up then where it says plugins on the top download them all, player update is automatic download it comes with full screen selection what do you get,sky news,sky sports one on saturdays,setanta sports,loads of uk channells,movie channels from all around the world,radio channels,now i must add before anyone complains it also contains a lot of (ADULT CHANNELS)so before anyone moans ive warned you, And before you tell me off Tinkerman i posted this in the wrong place earlier sorry mate but its saturday night and the Efes tastes good,am i forgiven[|)]
-
Will this new one need an UK IP address or is it via an UK server like Slypimp?
Only ask as it's taking ages to download after I hit open? Still not open after 5 mins.
cheers

Mark
Mark i would not bother about a year ago i got various companys in the uk to ping the south west turkey as i was thinking of streaming uk tv but the adsl system down here was not up to it the only way to get a suitible down load speed was to use satellite broadband but doing this was to costly you will find that some days are better than others either it keeps buffering or the quality varies this area cannot support adsl 2 yet possibly when things get better then worth another look but you can download catch up tv to your hard drive then ther is no problem
-
loads of folks are using this it can take ages to download and install but it does work, can also point out that the hotter your pc processor gets the slower your pc runs,webpages load slower,downloads are slower, sometimes not in all cases the processor getting hot can affect your graphics card which will give you poor picture quality,i use a fan assisted cooling pad under my laptop which plugs into my usb port,if you do not have one try putting something under your laptop just under the back edge so your laptop tilts forward to allow more air to circulate,as with my tower i remove the side covers during the summer months here,the reason for this is your pc is already hot at room temperature before you turn it on.
-
And me.....would love to be able to watch corrie at home....Caz
-
Hi Tinx could you please email idiot instructions for the English T.V. Emailed Woody but think mus have got lost in cyber space. Many thanx
-
all done Babs n Caz.
-
Hi busy bee,i would just like to say ive replied to every single email ive had sent to me, i would not ask people to email me if i had no intention of replying maybe i was lost in Efes Space,if for some reason i did not reply i must apologise,will i need my gum shield in next time we meet because im sure our paths have crossed at cafe soul,oh and by the way John im not a Brummie im from Dudley Black Country Bloke lol. :o

-
Just been reading on TLF that people using a proxy server to watch tvcatchup are getting banned as a member has joined TLF called tvcatchup & is using TLF to find out who is in Turkey using this service.So beware you might be next.
-
Banned from what?
-
Soory should of put banned from tvcatchup site. something to do with it being illegal to watch it outside uk.
-
How on Earth will this mysterious member be able to prevent people from accessing it using a proxy server, just by joining a website and quizzing other members? What information can he take about them from being a member of the wame website as them that will be of any use at all...
Total poppycock.
-
No the owner of tvcatch up posted it was ok to watck in UK but not outside UK or through a proxy server.
-
Sorry Kevin I edited my post as you were writing your reply :-\
I think it may well be legal in the UK.
-
I thought it was designed for UK users so they didnt miss any programmes.
-
Keith apparantley he is able to get ip address of people posting on the forum & has searched the thread looking for people that have said they have tvcatchup up & running so this forum may be next on his hit list.
-
He won't be able to get the IP of anyone on here :)
-
Sounds like a wind up to me
-
Or bad management - if there is a member slithering around trying to prevent people enjoying a bit of TV, why don't they just ban the muppet?
-
Ip they can catch them.!!!:D:D
-
Sorry, links to that website are not permitted Kevin.
-
Had to laugh at this lot whats been posted about tv-catchup and all the talk about ip addresses, i think Scunner was correct the person doing the posting is trying to worry folks.So if anyones worried over this all you need to do is hide your ip address,so heres how just copy and paste this website address im posting into your search bar download and run it.
Hope this stops sleepless nights lol, Woody

Well finally got round to slypimp/tvcatchup on Sat morning. Registered and it worked fine. Watched 5mins of something and thought this is great and Mick watched sports roundup, he was well happy.
Tried yesterday and this morning and its say Access denied, Access to TVCatchup via a proxy is not permitted.
Am I doing something wrong?
-
Checked this morning and it says the file does not exist:(
-
This is the message this morning does anyone know a way round it?
Access Denied
"Access to TVCatchup via a proxy is not permitted.
If you are located within the United Kingdom you can use TVCatchup via
your regular broadband connection. All UK ISPs are now supported"
Mark
-
Hi, I have the same problem and the same message.
Brian
-
See my postings on this matter as they have banned viewing from proxy's.it is illegal to watch outside UK.
-
oh bugger, enjoyed it for 5mins!, what you never had and all that. Well at least it didnt cost us anything! (Well most of us)
-
Same message comes up even with a UK VPN IP address. So glad we didn't cancel our other system as we still get UK TV through that....well worth paying for to know that it can't dissapear like this freebie.
Good while it lasted.

I can get it guys. the number for the computer expert is in local tradesmen section. Very cheap too. His name is devrim and he is a good friend of mine.

An alternative to tvcatchup is : http://zattoo.com

Try via a proxy.

HI WELL IVE GOT UK TV WORKING AGAIN NO PROBS JUST WATCHED FRIDAY NIGHT WITH JONATHAN ROSS, OK HERES HOW TO DO IT, GO TO www.w2.hidemyass.com IN THE SEARCH BAR REMOVE www.youtube.com AND TYPE IN www.tvcatchup.com HAPPY VIEWING SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO SORT IT, WOODY
-
I tried it this morning and got it.
-
On this catch up TV can you play through your TV via cable if so what sort do i need,also why do they call it catch up ,can you go back to past programmes i only seem to get current ones ,if you can only watch on p.c.how do you make it full screen.
-
Just a popular name alot of companies use. Recorded TV is on BBC Iplayer for 7 days and ITV player for 30 days. Connect TV from comp. via hdmi socket and same on TV if you have those sockets. Some are ok thru vga sockets.
-
Thats another one thats no good bbc i player and itv player dont show videos outside the uk .

Hi Kevin,
The email address has been removed can you advise if he is still contactable as we would be interested.

Hi Tony
Welcome to CBF 8)

This topic is like an eggy fart,it lingers on and on.
The only guaranteed way of getting English TV in Turkey is to bring over from Britain the box you want,ie Sky{unsubscribed},Freesat,etc,
then stick your hand in your pocket,like I did,and buy the satellite dish to run it.When the 3mth cancellation on my Sky contract kicks in I
will be offering the box on the forum for free,all I am going to ask is
that the new owner bungs some lira into a local English run charity. :)
-
I watch UK TV if I need to through this http://www.filmon.com/tv/index.php
Has bbc and ITV etc although there are a few dodgy channels at the bottom of the list.
-
Starman do you watch it via a UK proxy or through your Turkish IP?
Fi
-
bog standard Turkish ip
-
Starman, i've just tried it - got 5 seconds of Wimbleden then it just freezes and pixelates - it does not seem to receive although you get 2 second bursts of sound every so often - is it just a bad day or is there anyway that you can pause it and let it buffer like Surf the Channel so that you can watch it properly?
-
Also tried it...seems to load ok but as soon as you choose a programme to watch you either get a still picture frame or nothing.:(
-
I have had no problem or other people I know up here who use it have no problem. Countdown on right now on channel 4
-
Thanks Starman, another source that works.
Recommend ticking the LO speed BBC and ITV channels as it works fine.
Hey watched the new Top Gear last night, what a train huh
-
working fine for me, cheers matey
-
allanonimity.com. This gives you an ip hider for approx 24GBP per year & is easy to use. i have no difficulty at all in getting the barred programs except when the net is playing up.
i use itv.com, easy online tv -UK streaming, readontv, youtube. The main thing to remember is befor using the ip hider to log onto UK programms you must delete all your tracking cookies from you internet explorer icon on your desktop. if i cannot get onto itv for example, i just delete all my cookies and away i go.
-
Having read every post in this section it seems that there is no 100% System. There have been many posts advising a particular method only for it not to work for someone else and visaversa.
-
I think if you are that desperate to want British television either fork out the readies for a satellite system including the massive dish to do it, or stay in Britain. ;)
-
Have ticked the BBC low and ITV low box but it is now coming up scrambled - help!!!!

Hi Brian,
I guess evrybody has different systems and software to protect it and sometimes this is the difference of viewing or not I guess.
Try turning off your anti-virus and seeing if it works with maybe windows built in virus especially as they say Vistas is much better than XP. Some anti virus(loads actually) slow everything down to much, maybe yours does that!!! Avast anti software is free
and is high on most peoples list as it does not slow down the progs so much.
-
I have a system that works 100% (NOT Free) but just tried this one out of curiosity. This one does occasionally kick in but is certainly not worth messing about with anti virus for. :)
