Re: U.K.T.V. in Malta
Today i was offered a sky tv package for the same cost as in the U/K. by what looked like a very reputable company. Although the box, dish and fitting were expensive in comparison, this was being sold regardless of having a British address and was given as to being as fully legitimate. I have always understood viewing this content to be illegal to use outside Britain although many do but does anyone know if Sky policy has been changed to cover Europe in general recently.

Its not illegal if you view it, its breach of contract with SKY.

re sky, you can view all the freesat channels (Including BBC and ITV) without needing a SKY card even if you have a skybox (which is what I do in the UK as there are enough free channels to keep me amused for the few hours I watch TV a day and better than handing over money every month to the likes of SKY).
there is no TV licence in Malta so I would be willing to put that kind of money towards cable if it was both cheap and interesting, don't know yet.

I think the only way to get UK TV will be via a broadband internet connection once they go down

T.I. Thanks. Yes tried filmon and works good most of the time, still managing to get all freesat channels with skybox but only channel 5HD, the other channel 5s are all long gone.

Yes, I think the five series of channels were put on the UK beam with the exception of 5 hd which still works here.
