Alternitive to SKY TV
I'm surrounded by pine trees that are obscuring my satellite signal more and more. The dish has gone from the roof terrace to a pole on roof terrace to a really long pole on roof terrace!! I've looked into the freeview TDT but presume the renters will want UK tv.
Any suggestions?

Chop the trees down / trim ehte trees a bit?
Find another location for the dish - somewhere that gets the sun around 1030-1130am will do.
If signal is down due to the trees perhaps a bigger dish to help with the reduced signal.
Use a teleco (RTN or EWN or europea) and their uk tv streaming service - assuming you can get the min of 1.5m download, and dont mind the non hd (barely SD) quality of it!)
Use TDT will not the main uk chanenls, but many uk and usa imported movies and programmes available in english....
Use D+ (the spanish satellite tv service) - but many uk and usa imported movies and programmes available in english....

The bigger dish is an option and so is the telco uktv streaming. Any recommendations for a service provider that uses an iptv box.?
The TDT/D+ would be fine for those that could grasp the notion of switching languages via a remote but alas, most of the tenants I get have a problem boiling a kettle.
