Get a firestick and load Kodi on it with a build called "The Beast" and Robert is your Mother's Brother.

Fair point but does hack me off that there's always 15 German channels plus sky news or BBC world news

Guernsey 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Landmark LE Auto Santorini BlackDiscovery 4

I use VPN on phone can download / stream from all terrestial Tv sites. (Turbo VPN very good)

Mainly downloads best as vpn can slow streaming down.

Take hdmi cable for connecting to TV set / phone, most TV's seem to have a HDMI port nowadays

Connect a Slingbox to a set top box, i.e Sky and then you have no worries about IP address blocking, number of users etc. As long as you have a reasonable upload speed from home and at the remote end, it works well. On a DVR you can even watch recorded programs as well because the remote is emulated via a infra red sender. Also handy at home if you are using a ipad etc and want to watch in a different room.

I find this to be the best and most reliable option.

I use the VPN Unlimited app, and just watch using the SKY Go, BBC Iplayer, ITV C4, My5 apps or the TV Catchup App which has all the freeview channels, all on my Ipad or MacBook
