Hi, has anyone got any recent experience with getting a SKY TV subscription in France?

From 1 January 2021, you won’t be entitled to stream Sky outside the UK using your Sky Go, Sky Kids, Sky Sports and Sky Sports Box Office apps. Some Sky apps will allow you to download your favourite shows and movies over WiFi before you leave home to watch offline while you’re abroad.

Certain rules mean people within the EU can stream content across all EU countries. From 1 January 2021, the UK will no longer be part of the EU, so we won’t be able to provide this service in the same way.

This change affects lots of online video, music and entertainment services, not just Sky.

Thanks

You can use a VPN to “fool” the sites to think you are UK based. Works for us and very reliable and cheap. Just need family and friends in UK happy to share log in details.

Thanks.
How does the VPN perform? Are there any lags, for example, with sport?

I have had no issues as long as WiFi is good enough. As an example have a look a Tunnel Bear.

Thanks, I will.
