Sattelite Direct
Don't know if this network has already been mentioned on this site but my hubby downloaded it a couple of months back, I love it, it's a one off payment of $49.99 and I watch all the British soaps on it amongst other things, you can also watch T.V and listen to radio from all over the world, I used to get Eastenders on PPV on Dish Network, but I hadn't watch Coronation Street in years, it was great to catch up......another network for free radio in the U.K. is Radiofeeds, I know alot of them that you try and tune into these days are restricted to UK listeners only.

If it works for you, that's great....though there are other methods that work for free too with a little more effort.

Re: Sattelite Direct
I'm not making any recommendation whatsoever, but while researching this, I found a link that brings the price down to $29.95. Again, I'm not vouching for this.

Re: Sattelite Direct
Use a VPN to watch iPlayer etc.
Use BitTorrent via a sites such as UK Nova or The Box.
Both of these completely free avenues have been discussed extensively so a search will bring you all the info you need on either choice.

Re: Sattelite Direct
I use www.ibvpn.com since it's cheap and works better than the free VPN services which I've found to be more than a little hit-and-miss.
I think I paid about $14 for 6 months when they had an offer on in December. all the UK TV catchup services work with it, and it's great for listening to the footy on 5-live.
