Re: English TV in Hungary
Sorry, my misunderstanding...
It does seem as thought is is possible from a brief web search all the the mechanics of getting it working vary depending upon make of TV and also to a degree the provider of your VPN
It would seem that quite a few of the VPN providers seem to have walk through instructions on how to set it up by make of TV...

To TV However it can be done via Smart DNS waiting for him
To elaborate on this also not sure which
Smart TV would be best suited here in Hungary

Re: English TV in Hungary
A quick tip for those that want to watch hulu.com, bbc iplayer, fox.com, ... online from within Hungary without paying for vpn.
Step 1: Install the media hint browser plugin (free). Is only available for chrome and firefox.
Step 2: Done
It's quite easy and seems to be fast enough to be watchable from here.

Re: English TV in Hungary

Re: English TV in Hungary
I did this some time back. I'm guessing the cable you have to the TV is video only, not audio .... hence you may only get sound through the PC, not through the TV

Re: English TV in Hungary
First sorted the no sound on ITV problem.
I had posed a question that if equipment was upgraded, fine tuned etc etc would we receive UK on our dishes ranging up to 1.8m.
The reply from a technical site was they had received info from a person in Graz who was extremely technical savvy and has a 3m dish and he had lost the channels. As we are further east they conclude, obviously, no chance for us.
This is just so no one spends any time, effort or money on trying to upgrade in the hope of getting the signals for BBC etc back.

Re: English TV in Hungary
Has there been any change to accessing English TV via satellite?
I have also wondered what the EU's view was on broadcasters using spot beam signal instead of the wider beam signal from the older satellites? I would not think the EU would find using spot beam being beneficial to EU residents moving between countries.
