Question for overseas holiday home owners

Just recently SKY have re scrambled their signals as before when I come abroad to my home in Spain I could just bring my UK sky card and I would receive the same channels as I did back in the UK .

But as I say SKY have somehow changed their signalling so all I can get is all the crap channels Censored and I mean crap

So my question is , and I know there is a few of you who have properties abroad HAVE ANY OF YOU CHANGED TO THIS 4GB INTERNET TV that they are now doing in Spain and if so is it any good .

Already had 2 days of s.hit True Movies channels .... Hoping for someone to call out in the next few days but thought I would ask first if anyone has it or used it even back home

TIA .... Thumbs Up

I use it in Dubai, Mick. I take a monthly VPN sub from them, and download an app to my iPad. I then can use an iPad to HDMI cable to connect to the TV. I mostly use it for the BBC iplayer, otherwise you can at least watch on the pad. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Can you still get BBC & ITV etc ?

I have a FreeSat recorder that I use in France as I'm not too fussed with the premium channels.

If you have a decent internet connection, then VPN is a good plan - ours isn't really fast enough for streaming, but can just about download stuff. We use an Apple TV to send it from iPad to the TV

@ Alistair ... No we cannot get BBC OR ITV now as before we were able to get them no bother Thumbs Up

The Internet connection from Telefonica is crap where we are it only reaches speeds of 1.2 at the best of times they won't have fibre for a few months yet down here Thumbs Up

I already have a 1.8m dish on the roof which is connected to the sky box which is giving me the crap channels but not anything like before think the maximum channels I am picking up via the sky box is about 6

You could just go down the VPN route while you're there Mick. You only need to take a months sub, then cancel. Thumbs Up Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Is quite likely, autumn winds can shift big dishes way out of alignment. Otherwise, just get rid of Sky altogether, use a cheap Digibox or a Humax if you want a PVR, and rely on the free to air channels. Graham

@ Stan , no the dish hasn't moved it was as I said at the start SKY re-jigged their signals so as to stop people watching UK channels from Spain

@ Al , that's what this mob are coming out to do in the next few days
