UK TV on the internet

2008-08-29T21:07:15+01:00

Wondering if anyone using this forum has enrolled with They are offering the freeview channels via the internet. They also have a sports package with Setanta Sports. I was wondering what the quality of the picture was.
We’re not sure if TM will ever come back so thought this might be an alternative. But they want 69 quid for 3 months, a bit much to gamble if the pics not great. Not bad if it is.

Unlocking a U.S. iPhone 3g for use in Spain???

2008-09-01T08:52:40+01:00

Hello…

I recently purchased an iPhone 3g in the US with a 2 year contract from AT&T;. Then I decided to move to Spain.

I may have to return the phone. But the hope is that I can terminate the contract and unlock the phone for use (including data use) in Spain. Does anyone know if this is possible or has anyone on this forum done that?

Thanks for any tips…

GOT AN UNREGISTERED MOBILE?

2008-08-08T10:19:03+01:00

I hear that all unregistered (when you buy them you have to give ID etc) mobiles are being turned off on October 1st 2008 as part of the fight against terrorism.

So you need to register them with padron and passport as ID with your service provider.

Steve James? Sky card provider?

2008-08-28T05:39:32+01:00

Hi All,
Just trying to help a friend who bought from this person and is now having problems.
Just wanted to know if anyone has used/had experience of this chap. He advertised in The Sur, works on Costa del Sol, says he is a sky trained engineer and supplies cards to Brits who do not have a UK address.

My friend happily paid the €250 that was being asked - just for the card (!!!)… with the promise of this chap ‘controlling’ any extra channels said friend might want to add/change at any time. (I am guessing this guy has several cards registerd at his/friends UK addresses). My friend pays sky by direct debit - but more is being taken out than he was quoted.
He is afraid to phone sky in the UK as he does not know who the card is registered to.
I have advised him to call anyway - as he is paying the bill - (of course pretending to be calling from the UK) and find out more/sort the situation to his satisfaction).

Myself and others have tried to speak to Mr James to reslove things - but he hangs up on us/fobs us off each and ever time.

Any info would be welcome. (The address on his receipt for sale of card turns out to be an old address).

Thanks in advance, SJ

Wi-Fi hotspots in small towns?

2008-08-24T05:59:27+01:00

Hello…

I will be hiking the GR7 in Andalucia this coming Fall and I am wondering if there are plentiful Wi-Fi hotspots in small towns in Spain, comparable to the United States, for example?

Do many cafes, bars, restaurants, libraries, etc., have Wi-Fi?

Thanks…

Mavec

would you be intrested in a sky+ box
