Hi
Would anyone have any recommendations on the best way to watch UK TV whilst in Turkey. I will have Wifi and an iPad. Exploring the Netflix option, but any other advice welcome.
Thanks in advance
-
Try filmon.com
-
thank you - is the quality any good?
-
Unless you have a VPN you will be barred from using your ipad for sites such as bbc iplayer, itv player and tv catchup, from Turkey Which leaves you with filmon, but you,ll need to be in a wifi area.
-
Did you know that with bbc I player you can download programmes onto your iPad and watch them whenever you want within 30 days.
-
Thanks for replies. Was aware of the VPN situation that's why was looking at Netflix. As stated will have Wifi so I'll take a look at filmon
-
Apologies for being a bit thick - but what is a VPN and how do you get it.
-
Filmon works in turkey (without a VPN) last time I tried - quality is pretty good
-
Do you have to subscribe to filmon?
-
No....it's free (there is also a pay option but not sure what you get for that)
Download the app here https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/filmon-live-tv-free/id576167616?mt=8

It's free to watch in standard definition or you can pay a monthly subscription and you get high definition plus some extra channels
-
I find TVcatchup a more consistent feed on any given wifi connection - but I'm pretty sure you would need a VPN over there for that.
-
Excellent - thank you :-)
-
Thanks Fran, I had assumed you would need wifi to watch on iPad after download.
Downloaded a few things yesterday and will enjoy watching them on the way to Antalya.
-
Yes Keith we need VPN for TV Catchup.
Filmon is pretty good most of the time, sometimes skips and repeats but I think our slow wifi connection is causing that problem.
-
The app Tvcatchup wil not work even with a VPN. They have a super software That detects and blocks VPN .
-
That's weird Barry, mine is fine, just double checked
-
Don't forget there is a TV catchup website and a TVcatchup app - both work differently.
-
I'm using the app
-
Sorry about that... Yes the app and the web site do work differently. Duh..
Bur they do check that your ip is compatable with their system.
