Getting Brit TV in Canada
 
I was sent this from someone on the Portugal country threads

Camposat.Tv

is this still a viable option, and/or does anyone have any other feed or solution?

Ha...first thought when I clicked was it looks like filmon and once you select a channel you can see it is. Filmon was always good and then they started charging. Not much, but there were, and still are, free options. And I think there were still a few channels that didn't work.

This version looks decent enough. A little jerky to begin with on the channels I looked at but it seems to settle down soon enough.

Mediahint, hula and other add-ons give access to BBC and ITV iPlayers as well as C4 and C5 but different people get different problems so it's always nice to have alternatives to fall back on.

I've bookmarked it as BBC live (iPlayer) isn't so good for me and ITV wasn't as good as usual last time I watched it.

I shall watch Chelsea on Canadian TV today and then I'll watch ITV's highlights, knowing to try this one if the usual one is substandard again.

Cheers :thumbsup:

This reminds me a bit of TV Catchup, which only worked in the UK but was great for live TV. I'll experiment with this (I've bookmarked it) and will report back!

Quality isn't great, but it's free :)

I use unblock-us which allows me to view Netflix, and I believe other things (iPlayer) in certain regions, for example, I can set it to the UK and watch stuff from UK Netflix.

Real ITV wasn't great. So I used this as a back up and it worked great for the football highlights. It was about a minute behind real ITV but it was recorded.

Very good quality. :thumbsup:

I find a lot of those channels work for a bit then either disappear , get riddled with adware or just get unpredictable

This is the one I have been using lately and it seems quite stable - even has a BBC Scotland option

Added as back up to the real ones. :thumbup:
