There was a thread on this some time ago, about a year or so. Try a search as I really can't remember the thread title.

Do not renew it

Download http://expatshield.com - make sure you get the latest version

It is free and really works if you want to watch BBC & ITV i players , Seesaw and Channel 4 On Demand

Just install it and open it before you want to watch any UK TV

Lots of people in Kalkan use it

And several people have had to get rid of it, at considerable expense, because of the viruses routed through it.

Have never had a problem with it after a year + of using it

Expatshield is associated with the AnchorFree Hotspotshield which can be quite annoying although I have not had problems with viruses caused by either the VPN or the rerouting by HSS.

Always use My Private Network - www.my-private-network.co.uk - works fine and costs £5 per month.

Alternatively, try a Proxy.

Pick one from www.publicproxyservers.com and try accessing the sites through one of them. Some will work, some won't. I can't say which will and which won't as I'm UK based and it depends on the IP recognition the targetted site uses.

This is free, and there's no added security risk.

Good luck

I have expat shield but get fed up with all of the adverts. I have uktvaccess it's £4.99 a month or £3.99 if you pay in advance, i keep both as sometimes one will work when the other doesn't

another option for free is download tv series and movies at home and play them on your tv if it has a built in usb media player if not buy a cheap media player or dvd with usb

Just come across www.mypremium.tv Seems to work OK and gives all Sky Sports channels + Eurosport.

Another vote for Slingbox here. Perfect if you have an ipad. Just download the Slingplayer app.

Hi Blackpool,

We have slingbox at our place and its fantastic, just one question, say im in Utopia with my ipad and log in to the internet using their password, do i get charged for watching slingbox with an English sim in the ipad ?

alantj · « **Reply #14 on:** September 24, 2011, 10:57:27 PM »

If you are using 3G to access the Internet you will be charged for the data you download. Watching TV uses lots of data so, depending on your call plan, this could be over £100 per hour. If you conect by WiFi there would be no charge.

As apple devices are notoriously data hungry and can be exchanging data without you knowing it (after getting a £155 bill for 4 days of just checking emails and a bit of browsing), I always turn off the 3G when I am abroad and rely on WiFi.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi KD,

Alan is right. Its very easy to get caught out. Slingplayer Mobile also works on iphone and possibly other smartphones too, so make sure data roaming stays off

Just checked out MyPremium.tv.

Seems to have security issues: see http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/mypremium.tv by McAfee.

Why would anyone want to watch U.K. tv on holiday in Kalkan??
