Re: At Home Broadband
Use torrents for most UK TV, use TVCatchup - Channels for streaming what little UK TV I watch live. Can't help with sports as I do not do "sporty"! I can ask my son what he uses as he watches EPL etc, but I think most of it is via his android TV box. Will get back to you in due course.

Re: At Home Broadband
I listen to over 200 audio books a year, according to Audible for 2016,plus podcasts. No films, download some music, watch a bit of YouTube but on the whole don't download or stream video. I am very early retired so can spend up to 12hrs per day online, yes I am really that sad but our village is small and 30minutes drive from anything remotely entertaining, 2hrs from good entertainment. We have GSat satellite which is OK. :-)

Re: At Home Broadband
I am presently using UNLOCATOR as a means to watch UK TV. www.unlocator.com
You can try it out for free for 7 days and then its around 50 USD per year. Essentially follow the instructions to change your DNS server address on either your WiFi router or IPAD/PC. If you change the router all units on your home network will work. I find it better than VPN as there is zero degradation in the bandwidth.
If you have family in the UK and they are already subscribers to SKY then they have the option (for free) to use up to 4 sign ins using SKY GO. I use one of my sisters sign ins and get all the channels she subscribes too on line. Sport, movies etc etc..
Using Unlocator and Sky Go is no different to sitting at home in the UK....apart from the time difference !. You can also download sports/movies etc etc after the live broadcast if its a 4am job !.

1/ https://www.vipbox.nu/sports/rugby.html if you can select the one channel shown to be HD the picture quality is very good and for rugby the one to watch is Rugbypass.com if they have it. getting past the add on and redirect is the challenge once done it is great viewing.
2/https://www.batmanstream.com/ was once my preferred streaming channel, then somehow the picture quality deteriorated. now used as a back up channel
3/http://sports4u.net/channel/willow-cricket-live-streaming-online-10/ Once again the re directs and pops can be a challenge once past that it is good to go
4/http://www.vipbox.me/ Once again used to be very good now it appears limited, I use as a distant reserve
hope this helps

Re: Car Purchase
Cannot understand the workings of car dealerships in the Philippines. Was looking to try to part ex our car for a new ,model. We were quoted "off the cuff" as a guess 700k from one main dealer, then 1M from another main dealer.
As the car is worth much more decided to sell it private and then pay cash for a new model.The irony of this is we asked how much discount would be available on a car costing 2.9m...............we got two replies (most never even bothered to reply) 10k and 40k.
I told the salesperson that 10k might just buy a half decent bottle of wine, d
She agreed,but stated the car we wanted was very rare, and stock was limited! For god sake it's a Ford.
Having bought many new cars in the U.K., a salesperson would have bent over backwards and offered a proper discount to seal a deal.
What is wrong with the car market here?

In 2009 I was looking for a new car in the UK , had settled on a KIA Carens MK3. My local dealer offered 7.5% for cash but would offer 10% if I took their finance deal.worked out interest etc and got Bank loan instead and took the 7.5%. With the interest on the loan , minus what the capital was earning, my net interest was about 1% over 3 years.
It's what it is I'm afraid and yes, it's different from the UK........
