Not any good at the moment but there is a possibility of changes re iplayer whether other UK catch up TV would follow? Certainly be good if they did. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-32607246

That's why all my friends have taken my advice and bought Samsung TVs when upgrading.

I agree, the NOWTV is a good alternative, especially if you don't have a SmartTV.

PLEASE - NO!!!!

Get an excellent Spanish builder and then use an interpreter if you have to.

Far better to get the job done properly and pay for help than understand what they're saying and get a poor job.

Beware that many (not all) British builders will try and tell you that the Spanish don't know what they're doing and jobs need to be done the 'British way' - this is simply not true.

Also be careful to get the necessary licences even for the smallest of jobs BEFORE you start - it's your responsibility not the builders.

The TV that was left in the appt is a samsung but not sure if it is a smart tv will have to look when we are back over. When i put it on when we were there last week there was only one English speaking channel :( it was a finnish gentleman who had appt before us so dont know if its set to finnish settings but i presume tv was bought in spain.

Re: TV and Internet help
 

But it is for UK TV License fee payers for a limited (as yet unspecified) time abroad. So will only be for x number of days a year.
No changes for expats - things will remain as they are.
So if you spend 6 months here and 6 months there, then you will still only be allocated you x number of days iplayer content only. Not everything ll the time.

Re: TV and Internet help
 

Thank you.I was aware of getting licences but didn't think it was down to me

Re: TV and Internet help
 

Do this ONLY if you do not mind sharing 'everything' else on 'your' computer with 'everyone' else in Cyberspace !! :eek:

Re: TV and Internet help
 

Where does.... www.camposat.tv ...share anything

Re: TV and Internet help
 

Perhaps I should have expanded on that comment :( Checked this out ourselves a day or two ago, sounded like a good way to get the iPlayer service, however, do not want to make paid subscriptions. So it would appear, from reading the 'reviews' that if you opt for the 'free' service then the software leaves your WiFi Port 'open'. However, if you 'pay' for the service then there are security protocols that offer some protection. I do not claim to be an IT expert, quite the opposite, so I am very cautious about loading programmes that have a potential to access my information. It is rare to get anything 'free' in this life or perhaps I am just too set in my ways. I know that you shouldn't always believe everything that you read, but I prefer 'prevention' rather than 'cure'.

However, if you are confident that what you are advocating is a secure service then I apologise if I have caused any offence.

Re: TV and Internet help
 

www.camposat .tv is on its own and has nothing to do with Hola they are Different programes...There is nothing wrong with free Camposat.Tv i have used it for a year without any trouble

Re: TV and Internet help
 

I am sorry for any confusion, however, the first part of your post referred to 'Hola' and using their appliance. It was to this which I was referring, if you read their own FAQ's, as well as the 'reviews' you will see that at one point they refer to using an 'authentication' code, then they tell you that this is 'your' unlock code for your device !!
