Re: missing UK TV?
i was reading more about filmon and their operations on a av forum i frequent, where one of their developers posts. many people are impressed by the quality and bufferfree service..
http://www.myp2pforum.eu/new-p2p-pro...filmon-tv.html
it is over 25 pages long so i have sumamrised a few points here.
apparently, on an earlier version sky sports was available, but within a few hours or so of this version being made available, skys and the fa lawyers requested removal, which was hastily done. probably why very few "scambled and subscription" channels are available, and it is mainly the free tv channels only - apart from the odd few which filmon apparently do have certain streaming rights to.
apparently they do claim that it is totally legal, under EU legslation, to stream live tv around europe, and that they have all the correct permissions. but if this is correct is does beg the question as to why can the actual channel owners and broadcasters not do so - surly it would be in the broadcasters own interests to offer their own content around europe and not have third party companies "ripping them off"? (have we heard all this before - telmicro rebroadcasters etc??!?!). this was questioned on the forum but only got the reply from filmons poster of "eu legislation".
there was also no reply to the question about possible subscription charges for the service...the owner is the 47th richest person in the uk and has already spent over 20million on the project - surly he cannot keep it free for ever...interestingly on post said there was also a screen from a file that is installed onto your pc that says "channel unavilable - subscription expired".
he was also taking suggestions for additional channels, apparently they were in negitiations for the setanta channels to be included, with setanta basically doing anything for a bit of money with their financial difficulties they are in at the moment. other channels / providers he mentioned was ESPN and Paramount...could be tricky as zattoo have upset some of their providers due to zattoo advertising in programmes. and one poster suggested a lesbian porn channel - for his friend of course!!
some posters also had some adware / malware warnings after installations of the filmon software, but they were unable to confirm if it did actually come from filmon...maybe best to do a quick scan to be safe and secure.

Re: missing UK TV?
what is the minimum speed for streaming in Spain you reckon ?
I can get away with .7 of 1mb sometimes - or does telephonica adsl 2meg only work Mike ?
