Catch up UK TV
« on: February 12, 2012, 15:44:57 PM »
Hello Everyone,

I have recently moved to Mugla.  I want to watch UK TV.  I have looked at this forum and you discuss many options.  I don't care if I have to pay for this service but have no idea how to go about doing this.  Is there a simple way.  I have subscribed t Digiturk but don't find it that interesting and know that it is possible to get UK TV having spoken to someone at Dalaman airport.  I do not remember however the name of the provider.

Grateful for your help.

Titch

£5 per month to subscribe to www.my private network.com and then you will have a UK VPN and can watch UK TV. We have tried other pacakges but these IMO are the best. Also make sure you have unlimited downloads and High intenet speeds to get the best screening....

We use www.uktvaccess.com, which also gives you access to a UK server so you can watch all the i players etc. It cost £3.99 PCM.

I agree that this needs to have unlimited download and a good internet speed to avoid buffering on ITV i player. We download BBC programmes on their i player so don't have that problem. We then link the computer to the TV and watch it on a big screen.

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.

Watch this space  :)

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.

Not sure my son uses a vpn for his Thailand set up but I'll check.

Just had a message from my son on Thailand and he does not need a VPN for anything on Apple TV.
