Downton Abbey does not play on BBC Television but rather on ITV. So, make sure you have the UK ITV App on your Pad and stay with UK Itunes.

I've posted quite a lot about UnoTelly - we have it set up, it's a great option for $50USD/year.

I also like that we can set it up either on individual devices, or you can set it up right in your router, which is what we've done, so any devices connected to our wireless automatically go through UnoTelly's setting. Completely freaked my cousin out last week when he was visiting and wanted to watch something on Netflix and couldn't work out why our Netflix was so much better than his!

Does anyone know if it will work with Sky Go. We have a sky go login but it obviously does not work overseas. Does this service provide a loophole for Sky? That would be great if so!

I have been wanting to watch a bit of stuff recently and this sounds like the best way to do it.
Thanks!

I use www.privateinternetaccess.com, it was $40 for the year. I use it for all the UK catch services. I also switch my location through my VPN on my iPad to get US netflix - much better than Canadian netflix. They have a step by step guide to setting the VPN up and its really easy, if you get stuck they have an online chat help service. I got rid of my cable TV last year, too expensive and shockingly bad!!!!!

Oh and you can get a connector from apple so that you can watch the catch up service on your TV, but 4OD won't let you do that for some reason.

Not just Apple I believe, but several other gizmos too.

How about ITV? Might it be ad related?

Just thinking that to get ITV and 4OD on my laptop (courtesy of free MediaHint) I need to disable adblocker - which is no big deal.

If it is just 4OD and not ITV that is a bit weird, but might suggest they find some way to block these things.

There are a number of solutions to your TV problems. Some are complicated others are simple but ultimately rely on a reasonable Internet connect.

As I've only recently joined this forum and don't want to upset the mods then please PM me for details. Or wait and once I've gone through all the T&C's and found my feet I'll either post the details or place them in the classified section.

If you're just posting a suggestion to a service you use or have experience with, then feel free to post it here.

If you are advertising for a company you own or profit from, then posting in the classifieds is a better option.

Not sure I'd trust what you have to say, what with you "missing TV" and all.

Hi SchnookoLoly and kimilseung,

I'll post the details in the classified section and if possible provide a link in this thread. Yes I used to miss TV then came up with a solution. Now I don't miss anything and enjoy all the UK TV I like and 7 day catch up. If anyone wants to know more before I sort the classified section out let me know.
