[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 868367, member: 196043"] We're still waiting for 2E to replace 1N and maybe 2A in the next few months so things could still change. There is also 2G that may be used for some Sky channels later in the year too. At the moment we don't know how they will behave at the very fringes of reception but yes IPTV is looking like the only real way for some. We currently have a Slingbox in the UK for FTA channels which works fairly well but you need a decent upload speed in the UK and stable connection abroad. At the moment quality is less than SD on our 1Mbps upload. I also use VPN via a UK registered iPad (so you can download the apps) for catchup services, inc SkyGo, which works well. Currently looking at testing a Samsung BluRay player with catchup apps using SmartDNS to see how that works too as Samsung seem to have all the main services (iPlayer/ITV Player/4OD/Demand 5). I've also read posts on the forum about using a Linux based satellite receiver to get the catch up services, but don't know much about it. [/QUOTE]
