Watcha!!

I have recently moved out from the UK and with that I am starting to get cold turkey (no British telly)!

I have tried to download BBCi player though I have been told it isn't available for us in the US. This leaves me with BBC America - a repetitive channel watching the same Kitchen Nightmare's amongst other programs..

Need help, any help - even if I have to buy a huge dish and stick it on my forehead - HELP please!

Best - England Till I Die!

Search for threads with the words uknova or thebox in them. You'll work it out.

I believe you have to be invited to use thebox....and I have no invites at the mo sorry!!!

If you want the premiership when the new season starts Direct tv offer Fox Soccer Channel, Setanta and Setanta extra. For mainstream stuff my advice would be to get someone to set up a Slingbox for you in the UK - there are threads on here somewhere. I am currently watching Freddie Flintoff whack Middlesex around the park in the twenty/20 via mine.
Other posters may have alternative suggestions but I would be lost without our Slingbox.
Welcome to NY by the way - where about are you?

Thank you all for your help ..I'll keep you posted and if I establish new ways of having Brit tv delivered to me.

Hi WelshDoll, I'm based in Queens, NY and work in manhattan. How about you?

if you want to watch bbc iplayer you have to get a proxy server (or something)...if you search proxy server the thread should come up. i used it and it worked fine.

this is great - thank you all

you can also get someone in the uk to set up a slingbox for you on a second sky subscription.

you can then watch english tv as if you are there

If you have high speed internet then you might try tvants. Its like peer to peer file sharing instead of music its with TV channels. Its a program made in china and has chinese ads but at the end of the day i was happy enough to watch sky 1 sky sports, bbc and even the FA cup final.

we have the direct tv sports package and hubby gets to watch practically all the sport he wants - i couldnt tell you what channels tho, I generally try to leave the room!!

Dr. Bill prescribes a daily regimen of Judge Judy, COPS, and The View. After a few days, your cold turkey symptoms will fade into the background, replaced by an entirely different sensation of ennui. By the third week, your senses will be entirely numb, completing the cure.

Six year as a member ....= six postings
