Re: New tax rules for Furnished Holiday Lets

As someone who rents, I have yet to find a single landlord that is registered anywhere - probably not even paying tax in their home country. :(

Looks like many avoid the law......

Look at SmartDNS from Overplay (http://www.overplay.net/#a_aid=tvabroad) - I use this and it allows me to watch any UK, Australian or USA TV on my laptop. I then connect my laptop to the TV via an...

Re: Telly and weather?

filmon is not very good for downloading iplayer etc. though.

Would recommend a proper VPN to the UK, and not a free one.

Re: New road traffic regulations

They no longer issue fiscal cards, so that is not an option.

They issue an A4 paper with it on, not really suitable for carrying around with you.

What are Portugal going to do when the paper part is scrapped in a year or so time. They will all be going online.

I still have a green licence, so not sure what they would make of that LOL

Thanks.

We have located our 'correct' postcode on their website, but as the road has no name (except on google maps!) and the postcode covers a large area, we are not sure that a house name &...

Possible to get a delivery sent to a post office?

Hi,

I need to get some mail forwarded to me from the UK.

The roads have no...

Re: Satellite dish for skybox

Actually it seems that BBC SD services have gone, but the HD versions are there and working.

Re: Short Term Internet Service

I can't speak for Luz, but you should at least get 3G there.
