Re: Loss of U.K. T.V.

How things have changed in 10 years. I have personally gone from a 2.1m satellite dish, to a 3m dish, to plates fitted on it to improve reception, to new electronics and new sky boxes to keep it going.... to using TV apps on an iPod streamed to a TV through Apple TV, to ~~XMBC (forerunner of Kodi) to Kodi, to MAG...
It hasn’t been an easy journey and I’ve had to purchase different kit and scrap it over time, but ~I have always been able to offer UK TV of sorts. The MAG is without doubt the simplest and most reliable I’ve known. It does need a subscription for a reliable service and these can vary from 10’s of pounds a year to many hundreds of pounds. I have had at least 4 different providers over time and now have the latest MAG boxes. My current provider is £100 a year and extremely reliable, working even when most of the systems went down. We have all been through similar journeys. I even remember ~JimX telling me “Cyprus will never have the bandwidth to support streaming TV” - backed up by many at the time.
