Watching TV abroad on Ipad

where was the insult?

Here:

could you have been more wrong?

Your put-down was definitely a bit harsh. No need for it.

A sling box it is then , however , none of you have addressed the fundamental issue , is it possible to have some filter to remove the opportunity to watch garbage?
Thanks

The off button?

I use TVCatchup on iPhone and I know it can be used on iPad.. Full freeview channels.

Hi Rob
Maybe I'm missing something but why go for a sling box when you can download the FilmOn app for free on your ipad and watch that in Spain (it works I've tried it)
I've used WiFi but not 3G so I'm interested if people get streaming problems with 3G.

I went to load filmOn, and all the reviews say the latest release doesn't work at all well. TV catchup works well for me here, but I don't know if it works outside UK?

Therefore you cannot use iPlayer with the iPad or screen BBC on it at the moment.

Er - yes you can ... there's even a BBC iPlayer app ...

Although to watch the Beeb from abroad you're going to need a UK presence - normally done through a VPN

Other methods include the slingbox - but I'm not sure what they're like




Er ... perhaps I should read the whole thread before replying to the first reply!

How reliable is the VPN using 3g? I use a VPN for work when remote from the office, and it regularly drops out, worse when using my phone card. I could imagine this being really frustrating if trying to view something.
