Can we all just put the TV hell into a semblance of reality.

[JAN]

All this talk of buying new boxes etc is a bit of a joke really, your phone can do it.

Plug yer phone in, result, no need for super dooooper dishes, no need for weird android boxes, a scam if the truth be told, just plug yer phone in and all will well in Corrieland and the rest of soap land.

Discovered this through much trolling about hte interweb, amazing it is, yer phone is your friend, superb pic, no buffering, and no outlay,

Data charges. If you do it over your home wi-fi, subject to same bottlenecks as any other device. If you use the mobile phone signal, you will be hit with massive data use charges. Watching lots of video on the mobile network is non-viable. They usually charger per Mb.....even the highest cost contract plans are usually capped, in addition.

I think you have missed the point of my post.

An Android phone can do everything a 200 euro box can.

You will still have the same problems with a box, so why pay 200 for a box when your phone can do the same for free.

Just saying like  :whistle:

But we have lost a "semblance of reality" byrney. (thread title).
But thanks for reminding me, It's obviously just me right now that has no TV - not we - that would imply others have as well.
My apologies.

[byrney]

We've not lost TV Juan.

I hear Ewan McGregor is currently filming an appeal on behalf of us.
Would just 2 pounds a month to restore our TV be a lot to ask?

It has been reported that a plane load of expats arrived in the UK after abandoning their homes in Spain. When asked why? by Border Control, they all stated that they had been denied access to UK TV and demanded asylum in the UK.
Among the expats were several dozen wanted criminals, they said that life without UK TV was intolerable and that their human rights had been stripped away. All expats are being held at Broadmoor, to be assessed.
Meanwhile the EU courts are said to be in turmoil over claims for compensation, due to loss of UK TV. David Cameron is expected to announce limitless funds to fight these cases.
Meanwhile, half of the UK remains under water, with no let-up in the stormy weather. The PM has said all flood relief is to be diverted to fighting any EU court actions.

Latest. Airlines are to increase flights from Spain, due to demand by fleeing expats. 
       

Fantastic more room here for the rest of us.
Sitting outside having a cuppa sun shining on my face...who needs TV ++=

1 hours programme via Filmon is roughly 240Mb tested on 3G vodafone.

Yes, and standard (non HSDPA) 3G will struggle anyway with video. You'd have to be a really good, strong signal area. Plans vary, but typically, 250-300Mb is likely to cost in the region of €5+... so 10 hours of rather poor quality TV = at least €50. Some plans cost a whole lot more. Check very carefully in advance. A lot of them will cut you off or reduce your speed to a crawl if you use too much data as well....too much is often not much... 1/2Gb is typical.

Thanks Doreen, thought they would be same as my android tablet, so will bear one in mind when all the dust settles. Despite my wife bending my ear about her soaps, I will wait a couple of weeks before deciding what to do. pmt

Home phones and android boxes are not a solution to anyone who has a hearing problem and needs the help of subtitles.

Olly, if you have an android box you can go into settings and enable subtitles. Hope this helps. :wave

We are where we are.
Some have lost their signal, some haven't.

Baza, still have the 4s, the rest are gone, 1.2 dish, sadly have lost the Irish channels, but will do everything to get them back, if it kills me.

Take care and god bless.
