[QUOTE="Geon106, post: 91359, member: 21689"] yea thats what i was getting at, that UK residents will be allowed to watch for free as long as they have a TV License, but streams may be stopped for non-uk residents, depends on the channel i guess. I know a lot of radio stations don't stream to non-english residents, which is crappy because when i went on Holiday to Cyprus i couldn't listen to my fav station. but still. Now that broadband is in most homes and speeds of up to 20MBPS are available in the UK* internet tv is really beginning to take off, my mobile phone can even watch streaming tv and thats just a 512KBPS 3G phone lol. In America[and maybe the UK, you can get TiVo which works on TVoIP] and in the UK you've gone HomeChoice which works in the same way. Just wondering, Sky+ is £99 for the box, £50 installation and then £10 per month extra for the PVR functions, very expensive.
