Glitches and freeze-ups are because you don't have the speed or the correct equipment. The problem is at you end, not with the technology!

How is Satelitte costly and defunct ? |

I hardly think that you can call the following Supercharged do you. These speeds are readily available in many areas of Spain.
5Mb for Netflx HD 7Mb for Netflix SuperHD 12Mb for 3D quality There is no special knowledge required, you only need one of the speeds (as bove) a suitable computer, a router connected to that computer and an HDMI cable to the TV. Then it is simply a matter of downloading a program like "Astrill VPN" (to give you a UK IP, at about 3 euros a month), downloading, bookmarking and registering the channels you want to recieve, and "Bobs your Uncle", Internet HD TV :thumbsup: It's only those who don't have good equipment, and poor speed that complain about it.

Telefonica now only have the following offers ADSL upto 10mb (which is being phased out) VDSL upto 30mb and FIBRA OPTICA 100mb ...they are moving over to VDSL via FFTC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTTC The UK tv scare is being largely proliferated by people who have a vested interest in profiting from something that is otherwise available at no charge. Despite being constantly assured that ALL UK TV will disappear this year, so far we have no impact at all. I have been offered solutions to this nonexistent problem without end. Some have quoted over €1000 to fix this problem that so far, doesn't exist. You eerily mirror the character of all those trying to sell me the problem. TV licences are paid by residents of that country. Outside of that country if the signal hits your antenna you may legally receive it. Period. I personally believe TV licences serve no other purpose that to collect more tax. I lived in Germany for over a decade, and in their case, TV licences are precisely that. Their entire public TV system is a joke and a platform for blatant government propaganda (along with the usual very highly paid politically connected executives). German public TV is about as entertaining and useful as a box of rocks, and I suspect Germans will eventually revolt against it (there is already a big debate and thousands are refusing to pay). The beeb is a textbook model of professionalism by comparison. Back to the point: Internet video has some great offerings, but for (live) television, the infrastructure just isnt robust, ubiquitous, or reliable enough yet. Besides, UK TV is NOT going away anytime soon. |

5Mb for Netflx HD 7Mb for Netflix SuperHD 12Mb for 3D quality ! We are 1.5km from the exchange and get just below 3mb/s with no option to upgrade. I agree with Mitzy - many people in Spain have similar speeds. You clearly (luckily) live in a different world to many of us. |

"Astrill" works perfectly! ;) amideisles - The infrastructure is there. You just aren't in the right area! andyrich666 - Costly? a suitable computer costs far less than a decent dish! and you should read my post properly. It's the satellites themselves that are costly and become defunct! |
