Chivas Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) I note TV Mucho has changed its package from the last time I was in Thailand obviously curtailed (February 2020) Any other similar style set ups ?? I literally only use it to watch soap catch ups (dont laugh !) and more than happy to pay usual monthly subscription (or annual) Edited November 26, 2021 by Chivas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KannikaP Posted November 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2021 Get a VPN (Express or Nord) for $99 a year. You then can get almost any TV channel you want. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post norfolkandchance Posted November 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2021 Worthless subscription then ! I’ve been using NordVPN for 5 years. I’ve only been blocked a couple of times by the BBC and Nord sorted it out within hours. Best you get an expensive deal. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KannikaP Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 15 minutes ago, Chris.B said: How? Express (or Nord) VPN set to UK. You can then set up bookmarks on Express opening page, eg BBC.co.uk/iPlayer...or ITV.com...or Channel4.com or Chaneel5. That's it. Click on that bookmarks and CBBC is there for you. Sometimes, very rarely, I have to change from UKLondon to UK Docklands or East London. The others work perfectly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most sports are free on totalsportek.com, or ustvgo.tv for the American stuff. Edited November 26, 2021 by KannikaP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagallim Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Pulse TV. Not cheap, but having used for six years, consistently reliable, every UK channel (including those subscription ones i.e. Sky/BT etc), massive library of films and TV series including the latest ones, and minimum of 24 hours catch up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I can thoroughly recommend PulseTV. Been using them for over 5 years now. Great customer service too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmm... just had a quick look. About 5 quid a week. Do you have to buy their TV box or can any Android box work?

Do you have to buy their TV box or can any Android box work? You have four different connections available for the subscription. An example, I have a box (yes, it has to be the one they supply) on my main TV, plus on my computer, and another on my phone (plus one spare). Alternatively, if you don't want to buy a box and have a phone that can 'screen mirror' to a smart TV, then that works. Personally, the box is a good investment, just so much easier and the remote works well. Horses for courses, yes there are cheap/free options available, but my experience is that they are the last resort but are they worth the hassle? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, any media I want to keep I always download. I have only one box, the other connections are by logging into my account on Pulse's web page, i.e. on my computer and phone. I've just logged onto the site on my computer, here are a couple of photos of the menus for TV channels and film/complete TV series. With the TV channels you can create 'favourites' which will be at the top so you don't have to scroll through everything to get to the channels you want.

fangless Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 TV Mucho still works but you have to plan your recordings no more than 7 days in advance. Please note their paid for/extended recording structure/pricing will be re-introduced in January! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it any good though? Cheaper than VPN as well. 7 day recordings max 50 hours is fine for me. Edited November 27, 2021 by Chris.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download their app to your own Android box. Has catchup that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
