UK TV in your Brittany home

I’m no longer installing UK satellite TV, for 2 reasons:

1………… I’ve retired

2…………  The Astra 2 cluster of satellites (which are used almost exclusively for UK TV) are near the end of their working lives and by the end of 2029 it is anticipated that bost FreeSat and Sky satellite services will be closed

Looking foreward, Sky are actively encouarging both existing and new users to go with Sky Stream which works just fine in France so long as you have a reliable internet connection and a VPN running on a router (for mor on VPN routers see below)

For the free TV channels, Everyone TV (the folk behind both FreeSat and FreeView) have launched a streaming service named Freely, which is available on a couple of brands of set top boxes as well as on many new model TVs. As with Sky Stream you’ll need a VPN

VPNs   to use either SkyStream or Freely outside the UK you’ll need to use a VPN running on a router (except for the Pleio box and TVs that are using either FireTV or Android TV) unless you have a good reason to use another service I’d suggest that you use Liberty Shield who provide a service that is tried and tested and a router that comes preconfigured for a very reasonable cost.

Satellite BroadBand Anywhere

If you can’t get “conventional ” broad band by wire or fibre then StarLink provides a very usable alternative find out more at Starlink.com
