Maybe your computer has been hijacked,trojan,remote access,virus etc etc or your Internet provider has decided that they will (for the sake of the children) not allow access to certain sites.

HTTPS://transmissionbt.com/ https://thepiratebay.org/index.html I hope not to get in trouble for helping a forum member with the PB.org

I took some small amount of Schadenfreude seeing the next door business also fail quite quickly I suppose due to the advent of cheap internet and the rise of the cell phone and possibly his very high overheads ( well comparatively high)

I gave you a link to a very respected bit torrent client....yes you are doing something wrong. Not trying to be rude or anything but It seems you don't know the difference between downloading a file and streaming a file or what the PB does or how to use BitTorrent clients. If you take a bit of time to learn how things work then it will all make sense and you'll see there is no need for a Netflix subscription as you will find most everything you want with torrents.

Sorry no I can't recommend a streaming site I thought you were asking about the pirate bay (PB) and just told you that its working fine. The Torrent client I use is called transmission which downloads torrent files for later viewing. https://transmissionbt.com/

Search for PB proxy choose from one of the very many sites listed pb.org works for me.

In the year 2000 I tried out receiving Satellite internet from Europe online http://www.europeonline.com/en/search.shtml This was using the above mentioned Nokia 9600 connected to PC via SCSI interface and a program called IPDVB of course this was only receiving data as there was no uplink to request any data..the results were "intersting" These from the analogue days.

Yes please do report back,I for one would be interested in the results.

Yes there are but seeing as I was on a shoe string budget we just recorded start and stop time on a paper notepad and shouted out to customers "come in boat number 2 your time is up".. and then the government regulations came in and shop oppened right next door spending millions with all the required "stuff" Wasn't long before we were "stuffed"

ha ha ha ha ha no they are not.

Pah nothing compared to the 1.2 gigawatts required for a DeLorean. But seriously these very high charging rates probably dont do much for battery life or risk of failure of charging circuits.

Woke rubbish !! 🤮

Starbucks ??? I'm quite surprised they want that level of surveillance perhaps for marketing use ? Anyway I went to the Kilo 10 hospital this morning and used their free WiFi without having to do any captive portal or log in at all..totally free (as it should be) any "free Wifi" that wants my personal details to access is not free and I would refuse to use it... There was also CCTV but that is unavoidable I suppose.

The yellow car is crossing over the lane into the path of oncoming traffic, expecting the oncoming traffic to give way is a recipe for disaster. Never mind what the turn signal/indicator says on the red car it could be stuck on as I have seen numerous times and have no intention of turning left at all.

There is very little English language programing on Thaicom.. perhaps with other satellites nearby and/or C -band but that requires a much larger dish 1.5 meter diameter than you might want to put on your balcony... Aha I see as you say the original Dreambox only has a DVB S1 tuner so if the freeview stuff is moving over to DVB s2 ( most likely they want to call it HD but still stuff as much onto one transponder as they can) then it's days are numbered that's a shame but it had a great run.

If you can add a new satellite and the box can do blind scan then i think you have a fighting chance , only problem maybe the auto update at every boot does it erase those custom satellite settings after a reboot ?

Agreed without Google its very hard to find stuff in the internet..and then there is the issue of if you have the information to share but no-one is willing to host that information on their servers ...sure you can set up/host your own website but if said info is "controversial" it will attract in short order all sorts of unwanted attention hacking,DDOS and legal threats.

I'm no rocket scientist or brain surgeon but I think solar panels need light and the sun is the free source of the light (until they mandate all everyone to workout on a treadmill hooked up to a 100 watt light bulb shining directly onto the darken panel) So yes on an overcast non sunny day which are the norm in UK the output would be dismal compared to a sunny day, a few days in a row of dismal weather and your batteries would be drained (get out that treadmill again) also I believe there is a point where the light level is low enough that no electricity is produced even though its not dark ? And so I repeat again Solar is very good for a country like Thailand not very good for a country like UK.. I Iike solar it just should be used where it "makes sense" The UK also has an abundance of North sea oil and gas which it makes sense to use for its own production of cheap reliable 24/7 energy !

Solar panels make sense in Thailand as it has an abundance of sunny days The UK not known so much for its abundance of sunny days is it ?

If its free then there is no way you can gleen personal information...because you are not asking for that information in the first place, I have never come across a free WiFi that required say to sign in with passport,drivers or ID card well not since many many moons ago. All you can do is keep logs of the MAC address and sites visited and possibly CCTV recordings..I know bars and Internet cafes were/are required to have CCTV.. there was a big thing about internet cafes having to require registration to log in,log every customers activity and not allow kids to pay certain games and not at certain hours bla bla bla it was all overtaken by the smart phone but wouldn't surprise me if the draconian regulations are still in place.

Thanks for the new "conspiracy theory" you know of course that the US does not recognise the international court and that they recently sanctioned judges not for the first time either. There is even a standing order that if any American is ever dragged to the Hague they reserve the right to use military force to retrieve such individual !! From that very reliable and trusted source BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54003527 Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused the court of "illegitimate attempts to subject Americans to its jurisdiction". The Hague-based ICC is currently investigating whether US forces committed war crimes in Afghanistan. The US has criticised the court since its foundation and is one of a dozen states which have not signed up. Balkees Jarrah, senior counsel at the non-governmental organisation Human Rights Watch, condemned the sanctions as a "shameful new low for US commitments to justice for victims of the worst crimes". Mr Pompeo's move marked a "stunning perversion of US sanctions, devised to penalize rights abusers and kleptocrats, to target those prosecuting war crimes", she tweeted.

I believe PSI use an over the air update system that I would guess is hardcoded to use the Thaicom satellite every time it boots up so even if you could search and receive the freeview channels @ 28 east it wouldn't be a nice experience ..so not much use in the UK.. that woulld be my informed opinion but I don't have the box to try so could be totally wrong. You need to look for a box that says it does blindscan. for example https://www.infosat.co.th/en/product/26546-32014/hd11 or if you're feeling very wealthy and adventurous an enigma II linux box https://www.phuket-satellite.com/dreambox500S.html There are lots of other linux receivers now running Enigma II Dreambox was the original and so commands a premium. Ahh such memories I loved my Nokia Mediamaster DVB 9600 S, making a BDM interface flashing the bootloader and firmware Dr overflows DVB2000 https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse4.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.0zyrqFe8XX5G3Q7MqDBhrAAAAA%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=178201699dc1d0f201bce61d0529962cae8344a8dc616e86dada9891ab2e485f&ipo=images the SCSI interface the RS232 interface !! the Irdeto/Aston/Viaccess/Conax cams ,the season interface and then phoenix interface followed by the PIC 16F84 programs and ultimately MOSC So much stuff to watch but the time was mostly taken up perusing "free" methods and equipment to watch it and the never ending cat and mouse games to stop the freeloaders !

Heavily protected compared to the rubber dinghy’s the Royal Navy seem to have no defence against !

I wish them all well in this endeavour , but sadly there is quite a percentage that will never admit that they were duped no matter what the evidence.
