Normans_Ghost Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The answer is to move to the UK and pay a licence fee. Then you can watch Iplayer.  To be serious I have read that the Beeb are dealing with the copyright issue so as to allow worldwide viewing. Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Reg: B16BDR, Mem No 2166, the full story here You and your seven toThe French Blatting Company Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile7 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks Norm It seems a bit bizzare that the Beeb who aspire to be a worldwide corporation regarding media etc. are not able to make something like iPlayer more accessible around the globe. Could be a good money spinner for them I would have thought  Dave Ardley. White Xflow with Clams The Bearded Clams King Clam Of Clam Hill!

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted February 19, 2009 Area Representative Share Posted February 19, 2009 Rights issues as you well know. A pay-as-you-go version might well cost more than it raises. Democratic dissent is not disloyalty, it is a positive civic duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Find a friend who has a server in the uk - ask for remote access to it - then use the server to watch iplayer.... My home server will be available after I have tested it in May - so will report back if it works.  MarkC   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CageyH Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Get yourself the old Freesat box - like the Foxsat and you can record what you want anyway. Sattelite installation is easy.... Only dead fish go with the flow....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CageyH Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I use an old Sky box with a freesat card, and can get most of what I want. I just need a Sky+ box so I can record to HDD... Only dead fish go with the flow....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normans_Ghost Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Not sure if you think £292 is too much for a PVR. I bought the new Humax Freesat PVR and, together with a new 42" lcd screen it's amazing. HD is good but the "normal" picture upscaling is so good that it's difficult to tell the diference. We have (well HM has) dozens of films recorded and we're still only using 2 or 3 percent of the disc. It annoys me that Sky sell you a box (sky +) and then wnat to charge £9.99 per month to use it for Freesat. Or can a friend of mine get a card for a one off £20 payment? Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Reg: B16BDR, Mem No 2166, the full story here You and your seven toThe French Blatting Company Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyH Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 From Sky. No subscription required - unless you want one? It is only a freesat card - but the Foxsat PVR sounds better as you will get HD (and you don't need a card). You will then need the minimum of a 60cm dish installed. Sky do a package for £75 here where you pay once and watch forever. However, if you already have a box, you don't need most of it - and it includes installation. Only dead fish go with the flow....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normans_Ghost Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Kev, I've got one of the first batch of the Humax Foxtat PVR. It does all it says it can but the best thing about it is the upscaling of "normal" transmissions. The HD is, of course, excellent but the non HD is very close behind.  When I first set it up (takes 10 minutes) I called HM and switched BBC HD on. She was standing about 6 ft from the (42") screen and physically jumped back when it came on. The nature programmes are so much better for it. It's only downfall is the remote control. It only works if pointed directly at the unit and is very slow to react. I would recommend it if you watch a lot of TV. Actually we only watch in the winter nowadays. When we were in the UK I hardly watched at all as I was in the pub most nights. Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Reg: B16BDR, Mem No 2166, the full story here You and your seven toThe French Blatting Company Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 A friend of mine has just cancelled his £57 pm Sky sub and wanted to watch freesat on his Sky + box. Sky have told him the only way to do that is to pay £9.99 pm subscription to use the sky + box for freesat. Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Reg: B16BDR, Mem No 2166, the full story here You and your seven toThe French Blatting Company Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
