I seem to remember there was a skip option on the sign up box at the beginning. I don't remember why but a couple of weeks later something suggested signing up (but still no charge involved) had some advantages, so I signed up...but I still click skip on the sign up box and get connected easily enough.
Just watched the England-Brazil game on ITV and expect to watch Doctor Who tomorrow.

Re: British TV abroad?
Some time ago there were a couple of channels not working with something displayed about negotiations but since then even Eurosport has started workingI do remember that since I registered (but still not subscribing) there was one occasion when clicking 'skip' it behaved differently to signing on, but I always click skip and get connected.
Just remembered something....when the thread about this first appeared some people reported a problem that was solved by uninstalling and reinstalling...the modern equivalent of slapping the TV.

Re: British TV abroad?
For those interested in watching some good current UK TV there is a new series showing on PBS. It's called Collision and started last night under the Masterpiece Theatre banner. There were two episodes last night and, in the east here, it's repeated on Saturday. Two more episodes next Sunday and the final one, I presume, the following Sunday. It showed on 5 consecutive nights last week in UK. I watched it last night and it was, IMO, extremely good. All episodes are currently on ITV Player.

Re: British TV abroad?
If viewing UK reality shows makes someone feel connected then fair enough. I enjoy watching the occasional British program as well, and there are plenty of interesting ones available on PBS (basic cable package) without having to mess about with all this stuff.
The more I read of these threads, the more I appreciate the variety of TV available in Canada. Familiarity is not the same as quality.
