Re: Watching english tv in Italy
I suggest you go with Sky TV and the dish. What's happened in the past is that these online apps will start asking for money or limit your speed/quality and in the end they just get shutdown for copyright infringement. So if you have the means, enjoy it whilst it lasts but I wouldn't go to any extra expense for a streaming site.

You can pay by credit card but there is an extra charge of 50p. It might've gone up now.

All I'm saying is enjoy it whilst it lasts. Although the company may be legit, what they are doing is illegal so if you do sign up for their premium services, i.e. movies and sports, then I recommend the monthly option in case they cease trading rather than paying the discounted rate for the whole year upfront. This info is based on the fact that their online streaming service was shutdown last year.

Re: Watching english tv in Italy
I just thought i would let everyone know that it is possible to watch all the english channels for free in Italy.
I bought myself an Apple IPad when i was last in England and when i came back to Italy i downloaded an apple application from my ipad called Filmon Plus and i now watch all the english programmes live.
A bloody miracle in my eyes!!!!!

Nevertheless, I definitely prefer SKY - no Home or SkySports on FilmOn - and I need my DIYSOS and cricket!
Great app though!

Re: Watching english tv in Italy
I have been watching tv on my iPad about 2-3 months, but have been watching tv catch up through expat shield about a year now, i didnt buy the IPad for this purpose only, i wouldnt be without it now, since i got my iPad i very rarely use my lap top, when i went to buy the IPad the man in the shop said to me, once you have an IPad you wont need anything else, i looked at him as if he was mad (having been so used to my lap top). He was right!

Re: Watching english tv in Italy
Thanks for the tip-off - Filmon on ipad seems to work very well.
BBCOne has changed a bit since 1986! .. and what are all those ITV channels??
I went to buy a cable to hook-up pad to telly .. price tag € 49,90 seemed a bit steep, and I see on the official Apple store it's € 40,00 . .might look around for a cheaper alternative.

If you have a satellite dish already set up on your home in Italy, you could always purchase a Sky card and decoder through a company in the UK. My relatives in Spain do this and have the full Sky package.
They used a firm called http://SkyCards.eu - I think they've been operating for quite some time and have Irish and UK Sky cards available.

Re: Watching english tv in Italy
Thanks for the original tip-off on this - it works great on the ipad and I believe on i-phone too. A few streaming hiccups but only to be expected.
I noticed there is no BBC Three or Four but beggars can't be...
I tried to watch an episode of Midsomer Murders (Inspector Barnaby) on an ITV channel but the amount of adverts they put in is atrocious. UK adverts are a bit more entertaining than Italain ones but blimey .. I didn't make it to the end of the episode cos it just went on for too long.
I wonder who the murderer was...

It was probably Mr Posh. He's already murdered the English language!
No pay... just watch
I love you long time!
